Alright folks, let's start this post with a dose of pure honesty: I dread my brothers' birthdays. Yep. Dread. What do you get teenage boys that they actually want, and that you can actually afford? Pretty sure my brothers would love new cars but thats not exactly in my budget, nor will it be anytime soon. Up until this point my only solution to this annual problem was gift cards and cash in a funny (or what I think is funny) card. Well, here's an idea to spice up the cash giving.
A Money Tissue Box
What you need:
An empty tissue box
Cash (preferably in ones-makes it more fun!)
12x12 paper
Glue dots or double sided tape
Scissors
Masking tape
Step one: Carefully dissemble and unfold the kleenex box. It will still be in one long piece but you can easily see how it is divided into 4 sections. *Again do not cut the box. It should stay in one piece for the entire project*
Step two: Flip the box over and trace each section separately onto the backside of the paper.
3. Cut out each piece of paper and tape to the coordinating section of the outside of the box.
4. Once all sections have been taped down, refold the creases of the original kleenex box.
5. Refold kleenex box and tape the insides in place.
6. Add how ever many embellishments your heart desires. I just added a "Don't 'BLOW IT' all in one place" tag.
7. Use masking tape to attach dollar bills together like an accordion and place in tissue box.
And there you have it! A fun, easy, 20 min gift, that is way more fun than a card. :)
