    Good for you! I made 6 after your original posting and plan to make more for stocking stuffers this year. I added the suggestion of another poster and boxed the ends. They are so much fun to make and really made me feel productive when I was procrastinating on a larger project.

It would be a perfect gift "just" to give someone.
    I got my idea from this board!

    And you're just going to quit there? LOL, I swear, I'm not making more!

    It is all your fault! You got me making them too...but not that many!!!!! I just did 7 one day for about an hour or so...it was fun! Made a little assembly line and whipped them out. I think I will make some more when I get the urge again...great to give to so many different people at Christmas.

    Yep, a still photo tute is here on the net---------but I'm not good at finding stuff. SOMEBODY, point the way!

    I've increase the sizes of the lining to 6" x 9" and the outer shell to 6" x 7". The tissue packets are a bit loose in this size, but the center doesn't gap open. (don't panic-----------the measurements are right. You'll see.)
