This time of year, when winter and spring colds are rampant, tissues always seem to need to be on hand, but that doesn’t mean they need to be in their ugly little plastic packets! Carry your tissues in cozy style with this felted pocket tissue cover.

Things you need:
Felt Squares (your choice of color)
Embroidery thread and needle
Scissors
Pocket Tissue pack

Things to do:
1. Using the tissue packet as a template, cut three rectangle about 1/2 inch larger than the packets.

2. Trim one inch off of the end of two of the rectangles. Cut a two inch slit in the center of the third (longways). If you want a little extra decoration, embroider a fun shape, initials or add a few beads to this third rectangle at this point.
3. Lay the rectangle with the slit on a work surface and the line the ends of the other two up on top of it, overlapping the inner edges of the rectangles.

4. Thread your embroidery needle and, using a blanket stitch, sew all the way around the layered rectangles.


5. Slip the packet of tissues into the underside (where the two layers overlap, like a pillowcase) and pull the first tissue through the slit in the top.
