I don't know about you but I am always reaching for tissues in the car. Having a 4 year old doesn't help. There is always something spilling or some kind of mess happening. Tissue boxes are so ugly. I decided to make something pretty. This is so simple. All you need is:
- A vintage style handkerchief.
- A box of tissues.
Lay the hanky down with the wrong side facing you. Fold each end in towards the centre. Press.
Sew a straight stitch along each side of the folded hanky.
Grab a handful of tissues and insert them carefully inside.
Done! A pretty way to transport tissues around. It even folds in half if I want to put it in my purse.
Have a fun filled weekend.

So easy and so beautiful. How great would that be on a guest bedroom table. I'll be looking for pretty handkerchiefs at my next flea market, Round Top, TX - Two weeks!
ReplyDeletelove it :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a sewing project even I could do. What great little stocking stuffers these would make as well. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute & girly!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting that idea at all, I thought you were going to cover the tissue box in material, very clever!
What a cute little idea - I'm going to give one of these ago myself :) Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet idea. I dislike the festy plastic packets and this idea solves that! Have a great weekend Simone!
ReplyDeleteThis is the prettiest little idea! Tissue boxes are SO ugly and this will even fit in the glove compartment in the car. brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this project! What a great idea, and so simple! Pretty too! :)
