In
celebration of Earth month, the kiddos and I created DIY crafts out of our
empty Kleenex® tissue boxes! We created
a piggy bank and a mini piñata filled with
goodies. The kids had fun creating and we had fun making memories.
Now is the perfect time to reuse everyday essentials and stock up on these
beautiful limited-edition Kleenex® Brand tissue
at your local Costco. Now to May 12, Costco
members will save $4 on America’s softest facial tissue. Shop the sale online here. Now pull out the
glue and get ready to DIY!
Now pull out the glue and get ready to DIY!

PIGGY BANK
MATERIAL
-1 empty Kleenex® tissue square box
-Construction paper
-Glue or tape
-Markers
-Scissors
OPTIONAL
-Party bag
-Glitter paint
-Googly eyes
DIRECTIONS
STEP ONE: Wrap the box with the construction paper like a
present. Leave the opening of the box at the top. Cut a slot a on
the top of the box where the coins will enter.
STEP TWO: Take the party bag (or additional construction paper) and
cut rounded triangles for the ears and a circle for the nose. Add glitter
or color to the inner ears to make them pop and add to ovals to the circle to
make the nose.
We used a party bag to keep the ears and nose sturdy, but construction paper
will work just fine!
STEP THREE: Glue the ears, nose and googly eyes! Now the littles
are ready to collect change.
MINI-Piñata

-1 empty Kleenex® tissue square box
-Tissue paper
-Glue or tape

DIRECTIONS
STEP ONE:
Choose your tissue paper colors and cut into 1.5-inch strips.
STEP TWO: Cut the strips of tissue paper every few centimeters.
STEP THREE: Add any goodies to the Kleenex® tissue box.
STEP FOUR: Begin to tape or glue the strips of tissue paper to the box in staggered rows. This is the chance to make it your own! DONE!

April 20, 2019 at 1:17 AMThis looks like a really fun way to recycle those Kleenex boxes. I will have to save some of mine for my grandson’s birthday party. We can make lots of mini piñatas for the kids to enjoy!
