I have made these too and I just use tissues from my box. I have boxes all over the house. It doesn't take long to grab about 5-8 and fold each one, (we can all fold fabric...so tissues are easy) and then stack them up and put them in the tissue holder. I don't always have those little packets around but I always have big boxes of tissues. Just an idea for all of you. And I bet one large box would be less expensive than several little packets. Just sayin'! :-)
