Memory boxes: tissue boxes take on new meaning when wrapped in nostalgia.

Sunset | May 1, 1997| | Copyright

What do these three boxes have in common, apart from the tissues that go into them? They're all bound in memories. The boxes are covered with photographs of special relatives, beautiful letters penned in ink (remember when we all knew how to write in cursive?), or colorful maps depicting travel adventures shared with family and friends. You don't need any special skills to make these tissue boxes - just a little time and patience, and a few basic materials. Design by Francoise Kirkman.
