Tags and Tissue Boxes

You must know I love to re-use, re-purpose, whatever you want to call it, I like to contribute to not being one of the "throw-away" generation.  All of the large ornaments are made from tissue boxes which I backed with  die-cuts made from manila folders or expandable folders that were tossed out into the trash.

The beautiful trees also came back to life from (what else?) tissue boxes.  A happy owl also owes its life to a striped tissue box.  I thought this turned out frightfully FUN!

Poor penguin only has scarf, beak and feet made from a tissue box, but the penguin with glasses decided to take the glasses from a leftover package.

I couldn't help myself - the eyes are purposely mis-matched.  The scarf, beak and feet are tissue box too.

Hello, Arlene! You are the queen of tissue box repurposing! These ornaments are just adorable and I am amazed by your creativity when using the boxes.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
