Introduction
A botanical wooden tissue box adds natural wood texture and delicate plant details to an everyday household item. The cut-through leaf pattern gives the finished cover a light, decorative look while still keeping the structure practical.
This project uses 3mm plywood for the complete box. Each panel, joint, tissue opening, and botanical detail is laser cut before the individual pieces are assembled into the finished cover.
Once you have the basic structure, you can easily change the leaf pattern, flowers, side-panel design, or tissue opening to create a version that suits your own space.
Before your work begins

Operational Process
STEP01
Prepare & Position the Material
Place the 3mm plywood flat on the laser work bed and make sure the surface is clean, dry, and stable.
Check the sheet for warping before processing. A flat sheet helps the joint slots and narrow botanical details cut consistently across every panel. Secure the plywood with suitable pins or magnets if needed.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Import the Botanical Wooden Tissue Box design into LaserMaker and arrange the panels within the available plywood area.
Check the panel outlines, interlocking slots, tissue opening, and botanical cutout paths carefully. If you resize the project, check the tab and slot dimensions again so they still match the 3mm plywood. Set the cutting layer to 10mm/s speed, 30% max power, 10% min power, and HIGH air assist.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Set the laser focus on the top surface of the 3mm plywood before cutting.
Accurate focus helps the laser cut through the plywood cleanly and keeps the interlocking slots, leaves, stems, and small openings well defined. Check that the plywood remains flat after focusing so the focal distance stays consistent across the complete layout.
STEP04
Frame the Design & Start Laser Cutting
Run the Frame function first to confirm that the complete tissue box layout stays within the plywood sheet and leaves enough clearance around the material edges.
Once the position is correct, start laser cutting at 10mm/s speed, 30% max power, 10% min power, with HIGH air assist. Stay near the machine during processing and watch for excessive smoke, flame-ups, alarms, or material movement while the panels and botanical openings are being cut.
STEP05
Post Processing
Remove the cut plywood pieces from the laser bed and gently brush or wipe away loose dust and soot. Handle the narrow botanical sections carefully while cleaning around the leaves, stems, and small openings.
Fit the side panels, base, and top section together according to the design, making sure each tab sits fully in its matching slot. Check that the finished cover sits square, then place the tissue box inside and pull the tissues through the opening at the top.
