Properly folding tissues into a tissue box ensures easy dispensing and prevents messy unraveling. Here's how:
Preparing the Tissues
-
Start with a flat stack: Begin with a neatly stacked pile of tissues. Any wrinkles or folds will make the process more difficult.
-
Consider the Box Size: The size of your tissue box will determine how many tissues you fold together at a time. Smaller boxes may require fewer tissues per fold.
-
Creating the First Fold: Fold the stack of tissues in half, creating a precise and even crease. This provides a strong foundation.
Folding and Inserting
-
Folding for dispensing: Fold the tissue stack into quarters, then into eighths. This makes dispensing tissues from the top much easier.
-
Inserting into the box: Carefully place the folded stack of tissues into the tissue box, ensuring the top layer is pulled through the dispensing opening. (As seen in the provided video snippet, Step 4 place your layers inside the box and gently pull the top layer through the hole.)
-
Adjusting for a snug fit: Gently press down on the tissues to ensure they are evenly distributed and tightly packed within the box. A well-packed box prevents the tissues from bunching and causing dispensing issues.
Troubleshooting
- Tissues bunching: If your tissues bunch together, try folding them more precisely into smaller sections before insertion.
- Difficult dispensing: If you find it difficult to pull out tissues, try slightly loosening the stack or adjusting its placement within the box.
