Since I’m such a visual person I need things to look good; and correct me if I’m wrong but tissue boxes are ugly!! I truly dislike seeing those brown, gray, and lilac boxes with the “Kleenex” branding on the corner at various places around my home. I decided it was time to take things into my own hands and I made a cozy to be at peace with the ugly Kleenex box. After a couple of tries, I got this little project right. Let me tell you it was a bit tricky to make it the right size. The cardboard folds did mess with me badly when trying to get the right measurements.
I used some pretty gray linen from my stash, and a few yummy fabric scraps. And I held the lining in place with some hand stitching. I even had my light bulb moment and added my little label to it, after all it’s an original design. A couple more of these cuties and I will have it all figured out to offer it to you.
Edit: The tutorial is ready to go here. Enjoy!!
Oh I love your tissue box cozy! The gray linen is so pretty and your hand-stitching makes it very special!

This is beautiful, Paloma! Your workmanship is awesome. Where did you get your linen fabric?
