The one I have seen online is $40 and I didn't want to spend that much so I decided to see if could make one myself. After a quick trip to Michael's I came back with a few items to make one for less than $5.00. Now I want to note that the $40 one I have seen everywhere is handcrafted and one of a kind. I don't want to even compare my little DIY project to the hard work that went into making that one. Ok I feel better.
An unfinished wood tissue holder ($1.99), Martha Stewart craft paint in Pool ($1.99) and a wood whale craft set ($1.00). |
The whale lost his tail and the box and tail both got three coats of paint. I used a black Sharpie to draw the mouth and eye. |
I sanded the tail down to make it flush with the side of the box and then attached it some hot glue. |
I love how it turned out and he looks adorable in their bathroom!
