Note: If you just want a cover, the bottom frame is not necessary (just hem the bottom, according to original instructions).
Note2: If you'd like a full bottom piece, you'll have to sew the box into the cover. It's possible, but will take extra finagling.
Original instructions from Design*Sponge: Sewing 101: Tissue Box Cover by Brett Bara (it's a really solid tutorial!).
Apply your top coat as your final step. You will want to use a top coat for this style because the white is a thicker polish than the base polish and it chips off easily. This will help to keep it all together, and make your nails feel super shiny and keep the design for longer.
2 lamps on 45º!!! That's the way to Capture your Collage/Painting on digital! It worked also with glass framed collages!
Some people have been curious how I do my indoor macro photography and how fancy the light setup is.
This is an indoor macro setup for cheap. I used an extra black shirt I got as a free gift for the backdrop. Then I used a flimsy tripod that cost me 11 euro to suspend the shirt on a wire hanger I received from the dry cleaners. Then I purchased two 150W shoplights that cost 7.50 euros each. With a sturdy tripod, macro lens, and good camera, the rest is simple! Oh and the flowers cost under 5 euro.
Oh I almost forgot, you can use a piece of crumpled then uncrumpled aluminum foil for top bounce. Then take a reference photograph of a bright white piece of printer paper for proper white balance and apply the result to the photos in your series.
I'm pretty pleased with the end result:)
Time to do the foreground base coat using a simplified color scheme. Make sure none of the blank canvas is peeking through. Let dry.
If you chose as I did to keep some parts not-painted, make sure not to paint them here!
Unscrew the screw.

Snackfight, who is by day an editor for Wired dot com, saw the pictures I have here of the distorted buldings and things I took with my iPhone. He asked me to write a little piece on how to make them, so I did. Check it out here.
I followed this sailboat sea glass mosaic DIY from Beachcombing Magazine to make an ocean waves sea glass mosaic.
Take either the piece you just cut off (if it's about 6" long, or more), or a previously, cleanly cut piece, and butt it gently up against the edge of the piece you just cut. Be careful not to nudge the left piece at all. This is where our precision is coming from, so even a bump you can't see could jog it a hair to the left, which would mean we're not getting things exactly aligned, as we want.
