Tissue cover

Why not cover a simple tissue paper box with a handkerchief?
The hankie is not cut, so you can restore it as before.

I used marking pins. Because I would unwrap it soon.
But it may be danger. Use safety pin, or sew it roughly.

Place a box on diagonally.

Kokeshi

Kokeshi is traditional folk toy in Japan.
It is a wooden doll with globular head and cylinder body. It has no limb.
The features and clothes are painted.

There are old kokeshi in my family home.
Some have pinecone bodies.
