I had templates made by a sign writer for a couple of pounds so I can tell very easily whether or not a scrap is going to fit and speeds up cutting immensely. The tissues I use are packs of 10 from our Poundshop (Dollar store - which of course here, is $1.60, lol). The tartan holder has tissues in it. tartan[ATTACH=CONFIG]371636[/ATTACH] |
Great idea, received one with an open end, not slotted, I use it for cell phone, since I have a rubber cover, it does not slip and keeps the lint off the rubber cover, and makes it easier to find in bottom of purse.

I bought 8 packs of Kleenex tissues or 2.25 at our Dollar General. With the 7% sales tax, each packet is just a teenytiny bit over .30 each.

I've made about 25 of them so far. they are fast,fun and cute. I will be giving them away at Christmas to family and friends.

Do the tissue packets you are using work with this pattern. The only packets I can find have a flap -type closure that doesn't work very well
|
OMG what have you started lol....now I can't wait to try this...I seen the orginal post but forgot to bookmark it...really of all time for this to show up cause I'm heading for the city in the morning and well of course there is fabric shops with bargain bins, like I don't have enough scraps already...but am kinda short on christmas stuff. hehehe....

I think the flap would be easy enough to cut off, or fold back. |
