Regardless, this is a GREAT idea for gift giving and I am going to share it with my quilting buddies. Am already thinking of how to jazz it up in different ways.
Don't you just love it when new ideas surface! :thumbup:

Yes to be honest I think the friend who showed me how to make these yrs and yrs ago, used 1/4" elastic but the ribbon works just as well so I'd say it is a matter of choice
I have concerns with using elastic - would it catch on the tissue?
You may be right about that. I was just thinking that it would be easier to put the tissues in and get them out again. Won't know until we try it.

My friend always did hers with elastic and had no problems at all..but I just like the looks of the ribbon better so I tend to use the ribbon more....and how will you "jazz it up" ??? :lol:

I was thinking maybe to put some neat trim around the outside... or maybe piece some neat fabrics for the outside... My creative juices are flowing. Will post pics when I get my butt off this chair and actually DO something :oops:
