The bathroom! You never know when a friend will be knocking on your door needing to use the bathroom&#8230;and fast! One thing I like to keep in our guest bathroom is Kleenex Hand Towels &#8211; they are so much more sanitary. No more worrying that you forgot to change the hand towel and that it might smell sour, causing great embarrassment. On the flip side, not everyone washes their hands the way they should (at least 30 seconds with soap) so this keeps your family free of germs as well.\u00a0Kleenex Hand Towels only come in two package colors though. Why not make a custom cover for it?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an easy way to make Kleenex Hand Towels\u00a0a staple in your bathroom and use it as a decorative accent at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20509\" title=\"DIY Kleenex Hand Towel Decorative Box Holder Cover Tutorial\" alt=\"DIY Kleenex Hand Towel Decorative Box Holder Cover Tutorial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/kleenexbox01.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Did you get that? Don&#8217;t worry, the steps are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Outline the sides (except for the bottom) on some cardboard.<\/li>\n<li>Cut the pieces using a scissor or exacto knife.<\/li>\n<li>Glue your desired fabric or paper to the cardboard.<\/li>\n<li>A hot glue gun can be used to cover and secure the edges.<\/li>\n<li>Use the glue gun to attach the sides and top.<\/li>\n<li>Apply decoupage\u00a0to seal the cover and create a nice finish. Add a second coat if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t turn out perfect but it was still pretty good considering that I made it when my daughter had a sleepover and I had to stay up until 2:30 in the morning to finish it! For the box cover, I took a photo of my shower curtain and, after cleaning it up a bit, I printed it on cardstock using my inkjet. The only problem was that the ink smudged a bit when adding the decoupage. After the cover is dry, just pop it over the box of Kleenex Hand Towels until it&#8217;s time to put a new box in. All in all, I think it&#8217;s kind of cute in my bathroom, don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30084\" title=\"DIY Kleenex Hand Towel Decorative Box Holder Cover Tutorial\" alt=\"DIY Kleenex Hand Towel Decorative Box Holder Cover Tutorial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/kleenexbox02.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"371\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All I have to do is add a few more accessories and my guest bathroom will be complete.
