Make Your Cover

Use the hot glue to put your carboard together with the opening on the bottom.
Bunny + Whale: cut the tissue hole on the top
Unicorn + Elephant: cut the tissue hole on the side
Cut Out Other Pieces

Use a marker or pencil to sketch out your additions onto extra cardboard and cut them out. Then, use the hot glue to place them on the cardboard boxes.
Unicorn: Cut out a unicorn head and glue it on the top.
Whale: Cut out a whale tail and glue it on the back.
Bunny: Cut out two ears and glue them on the top front.
Elephant: Cut out four small rectangles and glue the edges together. When they are dry, glue one end over the tissue hole.
Paint
![20220603_165751.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F89/VATR/L3YGJKGH/F89VATRL3YGJKGH.jpg&filename=20220603_165751.jpg)
Use paint and paint brushes to paint the box.
Unicorn: I used a blue-green color for the body and yellow for the horn, but unicorns can be many colors including white, pink, and purple. Be creative!
Whale: I chose ocean blue but you could use gray, pink or anything you like.
Bunny: I think of light blue or pink bunnies but white and fuzzy is fun too.
Elephant: Ok elephants are gray but what about pink, now that is a cool elephant.
Draw
![20220603_174237.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FML/GCNO/L3YGJLMG/FMLGCNOL3YGJLMG.jpg&filename=20220603_174237.jpg)
Use a permanent marker to add faces and any other drawn on parts such as whiskers for the bunny and ears for the elephant. If you decide to make a pig, don't forget the curly tail.
Add Accessories
![20220603_221621.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FJO/C2WW/L3YGJNVP/FJOC2WWL3YGJNVP.jpg&filename=20220603_221621.jpg)
Use googly eyes for the animal's eyes.
Unicorn: I added white cotton balls or pompoms for the mane.
Whale: Not sure what else you would add to a whale but have fun with it. Maybe add a horn and make it a Narwhal.
Bunny: How about some pink glitter or pompoms for the ear insides. Oh and a large pompom for the bunny tail.
Elephant: You could use a pipe cleaner for its tail, or give it some tusks.
Put a Tissue Box in It!

Whale: The rectangular tissue box should be facing up so the tissues dispense from the spout on top.
Unicorn: The square tissue box should be facing sideways so the tissues dispense as the tail.
Bunny: The square tissue box should be facing up. I wanted the bunny to have a pompom for the bunny's tail so my bunny has the tissues come out its back. Kind of weird for a bunny to have tissues coming out of its back, but I got my pompom.
Elephant: The square tissue box should be facing sideways so the tissues dispense through the trunk. I hope it doesn't sneeze but if it does it will just sneeze tissues.
Congratulations! You completed your cute tissue box cover!
