Thank you for the tute!
But unfortunately I need a little clarification, please.
when you say "...sew the short ends matching the raw edges and then center the outside piece and then press it."
I'm not sure what you mean by "center the outside piece".
I guess I'm having trouble visualizing it.
Sorry.
I don't want to make extra work for you, but I'd love to see pix to go with the written directions. :D

Ok here is my tute. You weill need two pieces of fabrics. Outside pieces is 6 1/2" x 5 3/4" and the Inside is 7 3/4" x 5 3/4" Step 2. Place the two fabrics together right sides sides together and pin and sew the short ends. Inside fabric will be longer than the outside piece will be. Step 3. Press the seams and then turn it right side out and press centering the outside piece. Step 4. Fold in the sewn edges to the center and pin and sew the new short ends. Step 5. Turn it right side out and press again and place the tissue inside and you are done! Enjoy. I'll put the steps on the caption of the pictures and sorry they do not do them justice, but you'll get the idea. Huggies, Fay

I use them as "gift card holders" at Christmas time :)
I also pinch the edges on mine so they are the same shape as the kleenex package.
I sold them last year at a local craft fair and give them to teachers with gift cards to Sonic (and the fabric I use has ice cream on it)..
