Decoupage Songbird Tissue Box Cover is a perfect way to decorate any STANDARD size rectangle box of tissues to add a boutique feel in any area of your home or office. It's also a wonderful, unique gift option for any special occasion or just because!

Upcycled Rectangular Solid Wood Tissue Box Cover is hand decoupaged with designer paper napkins featuring many colorful songbirds perched upon long branches; and the background is hand painted white to highlight the lovely, colorful bird designs.

Maximum size of tissue box to fit inside this cover with the bottom slide in place:
Length: 9-5/8 Inches
Width: 5-1/8 Inches
Height: 4-1/8 Inches

Most standard size tissue boxes are approximately 9-in long, 4.75-inches wide, and 3.5-inches tall. The extra-large family size tissue boxes will be too tall to fit inside this box with the bottom slide in place.

The interior of the box is unfinished wood with a removable bottom that slides open to insert the disposable cardboard container. Decoupaged Wood Tissue Box Covers are recommended for indoor use.

This tissue box cover is Made-to-Order and will ship-out within a week after order placement, and because it is hand decoupaged and hand painted, it will be very similar but not be exactly as pictured.

WHAT IS DÉCOUPAGE? Decoupage is the art or technique of decorating surfaces by applying shapes or illustrations cut from various forms of paper. According to Merriam-Webster.com, “Decoupage originated in France in the 17th century as a means of artistically decorating pieces of furniture with pictures. It took a few centuries, but by the mid-20th century decoupage became a household name in American interior decoration.”

OUR DECOUPAGE TECHNIQUE is accomplished by first selecting artistic, whimsical images from designer paper napkins. The inked design layer of the three-ply paper napkin is separated, and it is either precut to specific sections of the design, or the excess design will be trimmed after it has been applied. The décor items (such as clay pots, wood birdhouses, wood decor, and glass or metal containers) are always primed with white acrylic paint prior to applying the designs onto the surfaces. Between priming and affixing the designs, a unique acrylic paint color is created to complement the napkin design, and then the areas to be highlighted are painted with the special color-mixture. The decoupage application process requires careful placement of the delicately thin paper napkin over a layer of brushed-on decoupage glue. After the napkin is arranged on the glue, the wrinkles are gingerly but firmly smoothed-out. Then, another generous layer of glue is painted over the top of the napkin design. Once dry, the painted and decoupaged surfaces are completely covered with a clear coat of water-based polyurethane.
