    Below is an article that I have posted on my blog today:
    http://inspiretranspire.blogspot.com/2010/10/recycle-your-empty-tissue-box-into.html#links

    Well the other day I had some free time on my hand and I wanted to do some creative stuff. But i did not know from where to begin. I started clearing my desk and while I was cleaning I came across this empty tissue box. Now I have always thrown away empty tissue boxes and this time since i wanted to kill time with creativity I decided to recycle this tissue box.
    I looked around and grabbed some A4 size colour paper that was not being used by me since a long time. I grabbed a cellophane tape and staplers. This was what i had with me.
    I picked up pink coloured paper and cut them into strips and started making paper roses out of them. I must have made nearly ten roses out of the coloured paper.
    The next thing i took was some cream coloured paper and covered the empty tissue box with it.
    I glued and stapled the roses on the boxes and i wanted to give it a feel of vintage. I felt something was missing. Hmm. Finally i took a black paper and cut it out in the shape of a black bird and just perched it atop the roses on the box and voila! I made an empty tissue box into a reusable box. I kept few things in it and everyone admires it when they see it. Here are two images of the box that i recycled
