    I recently made a lot of these, but never have seen the printed Kleenex.

    Neat!!

    I love printed kleenex - I used to do a lot of papercrafting & collage and those are great because you can peel the layers apart and use just the colored layer for all sorts of stuff. It's all over around holidays (I love Halloween tissue in particular, especially if there are owls) and I've found it in places like Dollar Tree year-round. JoAnn's usually has some with their seasonal decoration stuff.

    Not sure I've ever blown my nose on any of it, though! Too pretty for that! LOL

    These are just darling!! What pattern did you use and did you use fabric or ribbon to embroider onto? I want to make some for our church bazaar, so would appreciate any instructions you can provide. Thanks for sharing.

    Wish I was sitting at your table!!! LOL I also haven't seen the printed tissue but you sure did a great job of match work. Hope you got to use up a lot of your stash and not have to purchase too much of it!!! Thanks for sharing. Your gift will be pleasantly accepted.

    Nice gift. I've made some before but never thought to match the tissue with the fabric. Looks great!
