These would make cute gifts if you have a lot to make for a quilt group or other for that matter. Great use for scraps.

you need two pieces of fabric, one main piece and one for the lining

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169768[/ATTACH]

sew 1/4 inch seam along both ends of the 5 1/2 sides, right sides together

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169769[/ATTACH]

turn right sides out and press so that your lining fabric shows evenly on both sides of your main fabric

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169770[/ATTACH]

bring both sides to the center and press

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169771[/ATTACH]

sew across the ends using 1/4" seam

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169772[/ATTACH]

then zig zag stitch across the same ends

Turn the tissue holder right side out, use a point turner to poke the corners neatly

Thanks for the tutorial. I have made these before and they are SUPER. I like to box the corners (like the bottom corners of a totebag)

I made 35 of these for church and even though I was a bit leery of some of the scraps I used they all turned out great and everyone loved them and thought I spent a lot of time on them. I told them that I did not give cards out this year because I wanted to do something they could enjoy all year long.
