This project makes a great tissue paper dispenser you can place over your night table, work table, office desk or kitchen counter to always have an inexpensive piece of paper.

The only things you will need are a 100 CD empty spindle and a tissue paper roll of any size.

Make the Hole

Take the top clear plastic part of the spindle and cut out the center inner circle.

Prepare the Roll of Paper

To be able to use the roll of paper, you will have to remove the cardboard core of the roll.

Pull Out the Cardboard Core

To make it easy, try inserting a long screwdriver betwen the cardboard and the tissue paper itself, flattening the core toward the center.

Once the paper is out, just insert it through the clear plastic hole you did, close it against the plastic base and thats all!!
To improve it, you can insert a piece of color or decorated paper around the paper roll that fits your walls or furniture.
