Twiggy Branch Tissue Box

I’m Michael Tyler and for more than 8 years I have been creating Vectric’s Free monthly projects. I’ve made everything from spring wreaths and mantle clocks, to snow sledges and cheeseboards.

Did you know there are already more than 80 projects free for Vectric customers to take advantage of and we’re working on more every month? Each zipped project includes the files relating to the project as well as a comprehensive PDF guide that covers all the key steps help you complete your project - including tips on materials, tooling and finishes. Since 2018 free projects also come with their own video that tells the story of the project from start to finish.

This project creates a rustic looking cover for standard size cube-style tissue box. The side panels are made to resemble groups of small branches or twigs and the top panel has a rather pronounced “grained” pattern to exaggerate the overall outdoor appearance. The “twig” branches were modeled using Aspire’s two-rail sweep. Textures were made by creating thin overlay components from photos of actual branches and then combined with components made from Texture Toolpath previews.

The finished dimensions of this project are approximately 6 " W x 6 " D x 6 " T

If you cut this project, then it would be great to see a photo of your finished piece over on the Vectric Forum. Alternatively feel free to email us a picture of your finished piece at online@vectric.com.
