Here’s a tissue box case I made with Perler Beads, inspired by convenience stores in Japan (aka “Konbini”).
Details & Video
The internal dimensions of this tissue case is approximately 22.8cm long x 12.2cm wide x 10.2cm tall (or about 9″ x 4.8″ x 4″). The lid snaps onto the two sets of tabs in the corners to avoid it from lifting off when a tissue is pulled out.
In this video, I pop a 140-sheet tissue box inside the case then close the lid – with two snaps to secure it in place. Then I pull a tissue sheet out, and rotate the box for a 360° preview.
(The 140-sheet Kleenex tissue box in the video is about 21×11.5x10cm. Other brands at the supermarket had a box length of 22cm, with the width and height being ever so slightly smaller than the Kleenex.)
Materials & Tools
| Material/Tool | What I used |
|---|---|
| Fuse beads (refer to beads list below) | Perler beads |
| Iron or heat press | HTVront heat press |
| Tweezers | Perler tweezers |
| Pegboards (to accommodate 51 beads wide) | KeiMade Pegboards |

No glue – the panels snap in like a 3D puzzle.
