Let's go over the followed to follow from each of the Crafts so you don't forget anything and you can make yourself at home.
Tissue box
To make the tissue box you will need a can that has tapa, like those of instant coffees or some cookies. You have to make a cut in that lid cross, since that is where the handkerchiefs will come out.
We will decorate the can with patterned paper. You have thousands of designs, so find one that goes with the decoration of the room or the one that you like the most. Cut it to the size of the can and glue it with silicone in gun.
Candleholder
In the case of candleholder we will use a can of tuna, although you can use any type of can. Choose some tiles that are to your liking and paste them with silicone all over the outside of the can. When you have it covered with tiles, apply the cement for mosaics and with a spatula and let it rest 20 minutes. After that time you can clean up the mosaic with a sponge or cloth.
Hanging vase
El hanging vase you better do it with a long can. Sand it along the edge so it doesn't cut you and clean it well with a cloth. Paint it with chalk paint for a vintage look with a chalk finish. Place a wire so that it acts as a handle.
For the part where we are going to hang it you will need a wood plank. Paint it to your liking and screw a decorative hook. From behind you must also screw a one ring hook. You just have to put the flowers in your can and hang it on the hook.
