DIY Model Train utilizing Tissue Box Instructions
In the world of DIY crafts, creativity knows no bounds, and a recent project has caught our attention - a refillable tissue box train with a driver's cab and wheels. This charming craft is inspired by the delightful children's book "Old Track New Tricks," written by Jessica from the blog Play Trains.
To create this train, you'll start with an empty tissue box, using it as the main body of the train and the refillable tissue container. Next, you'll craft a small driver's cab by using extra cardboard or cardstock. Cut out and attach a cab shape on one end of the tissue box, ensuring it resembles the front of a train. You can add windows and details to make it look more realistic.
Moving on to the wheels, cut circles out of cardboard, paper plates, or foam sheets, and attach them to the sides of the tissue box. Place four or six wheels evenly spaced along both sides for a sturdy base.
Once you've assembled the basic structure, decorate the train with markers, paint, colored paper, or stickers to make it colorful and realistic. If you'd like, you can add additional creative details like a smoke stack or front bumper using recycled craft materials like paper towel rolls or bottle caps.
To keep the tissue box refillable, ensure the top or side that dispenses tissues remains accessible or can easily be re-opened.
For a visual or video guide, search for "crafts with empty tissue box" or "DIY tissue box train" on crafting platforms or TikTok, where you'll find step-by-step demonstrations to help bring your train to life. This craft is part of the transport unit All Things Train and can be found with the face image on Totally Thomas.
