you need two pieces of fabric, one main piece and one for the lining

sew 1/4 inch seam along both ends of the 5 1/2 sides, right sides together
[ATTACH=CONFIG]169769[/ATTACH]

turn right sides out and press so that your lining fabric shows evenly on both sides of your main fabric

bring both sides to the center and press

sew across the ends using 1/4" seam

then zig zag stitch across the same ends

Turn the tissue holder right side out, use a point turner to poke the corners neatly

Those are freakin' adorable! What a cute gift idea or bazaar item!
