DIY Gold Tissue Box: A simple DIY project – an old tissue box gets a face lift and turns into a trendy gold bathroom accent.
Since we moved, my head is swimming with DIY ideas, but some times it’s overwhelming how much I want to do. You see, I’m an impatient person……I want things to happen fast. Large project intimidates me, so I thought I’d start small.
I love the new trend of gold accessories, so I thought I’d give a few old accessories a quick face lift. I had everything I needed right at home, and clean up was a snap.

Do you have some of these grapevine balls laying around? If not, you can find them in most craft stores.
I laid out a few Bounty paper towels to paint on, grab some gold paint and a sponge brush and got to work.
I love how they look fresh and trendy again. I may have to pick up a few more to paint and put in a bowl.
Next, I grabbed an old tissue box, along with the gold paint, white paint, sponge brushes, painters tape, sand paper, clear acrylic sealer and Bounty Paper towels.
One I sanded down the old tissue box real good, then used a dry paper towel to dust off all the sanding.
Two I used a damp Bounty Paper Towel to wipe down the entire tissue box to make sure it was dust free.
I waited about 10 minutes to start painting, to make sure the box was dry.
Three I painted the tissue box with a few coats of white acrylic paint, letting it dry between coats. I only painted 3/4 the way down on the sides. Four After the last coat of white was dry, I used painters tape and marked where I wanted to paint the gold on the bottom third of the tissue box. – and gave it a few good coats of gold paint. Five I removed the tape while the gold was still wet, then used my round sponge brush to make gold circles on the top and sides.
Six I took it out side to give it a nice coat of acrylic sealer.
The gold tissue box and grapevine ball look perfect in Allison’s bathroom right now.

I just love all of the fresh and new ideas
I would really like to repaint a couple of bedrooms!
making a wreath for my daughters birthday party
I just finished redoing a bathroom my next diy project will be to refinish an entry way table for my hallway!
This is such a perfect idea Cheryl and I came out beautifully! As for my next project, oh my…….I have a million going on but the top priorities are our pool house makeover with planked walls and new shed DIY barn doors 🙂
My next diy project is painting and hanging the shelves I made out of my grandparents’ dining table.
Something outdoors for my patio…but I’m not exactly sure that will be yet. Any ideas? : )
We really need to paint our house and replace the windows. Not cheap so this would come in handy!
I would like to make a DIY spice shelf this summer!
I have a list a mile long for DIY projects. I’m like you – big projects intimidate me so I like to start small. I love what you did with that tissue box and am loving all the gold lately!
It will depend on the house we find to lease!
I just purchased my first home not too long ago and I have so many projects I want to do. I just can’t decide what to do first! It will probably be the bathroom in the basement – it really needs help!
My next DIY is painting my garage that is just drywall, organizing and adding shelving as well. SOON too! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway it sure would help, Oh and we are replacing lower level carpet too.
An outdoor bench…
The gold tissue box looks great, especially with the gold grapevine ball accenting the space with it. Gold adds such a richness to any decor. As I was watching my son make a Walking Stick insect “home” for my granddaughter’s new pet, he used a gorgeous color of turquoise to spray the wooden frame. As soon as I saw that color, so bright and refreshing…..as gorgeous as the ocean waters around the Bahamas, I knew I had to use it! So my next diy project is refinishing the old wood patio furniture with the beautiful summery cool color of turquoise.
By the way, I’ve used Bounty kitchen paper towels for years, and wouldn’t use anything else….love ’em!
My next project is to refinish my kitchen cupboards.
Our next DIY project is a bathroom redo. Not a little project, but I’m getting excited! Your bathroom looks great!
My next DIY is to finish stripping the wallpaper and painting the kitchen
The next project is painting our bathroom.
I’d love to win!
I’m going to finally start building a mantle for our fireplace. We redid the surround three years ago and never put up a mantle to finish the project!
my next project is my daughters bedroom
I’d love to change the knobs on all of our kitchen cabinets and add a new ceiling fan in our kitchen- they need to be updated so badly!
I am going to decoupage a file cabinet.
I’m working on a bedroom makeover for my husband and myself. I’ve made a bunch of things including a seashell and seaglass mirror. My next DIY is a simple ocean painting for above the bed.
Our next DIY project will be finishing part of the basement.
I’m not much of a DIY er but I think my hubby and I are gonna make our kids a sandbox
MY next DIY project willbe after I finish the present one! I started redoing a wooden bistro set in my sunroom.. due to health issues, its only 1/3 done.. still at the sanding stage of numerous layers of varnish etc… after I finish that I will be putting back together my bookcases and upgrading them with molding and a solid back. There are plain white with no back and I do not find them that sturdy, even tho they cost $80 each as do DIY put together bookcases! I have just started taking them apart as a couple weeks ago I was suddenly notified that the condo I have been renting for 5+ yrs has been sold! and I have to immediately move… who knows where!! so present DIY projects now have to be stopped and packed up. This GC would be such a blessing to help me continue working on both the present project of the bistro set, and the new bookcase project for where ever i move! Thanks for a detailed tutorial on this post for your own diy!
