This is a great idea & so easy to make. It took all of 10 minutes. However, I found that with the Kleenex packages the pieces need to be increased by 1/2" all around. The packages are too large to fit. I cut the rectangle 6" x 4" & the squares 4".

I was given a large quantity of scrap fabric that was just a bit larger than these dimensions & had been sewn with a 5/8" seam on the longer side. I just cut them to the above sizes & stitched. Np need to remove the bad stitching.

These would make great table favors for a get together or tucked into a basket in the guest powder room with a help yourself note.

If the package of tissue does not have the proper opening, just remove the wrapper & tuck the tissue inside the cloth cover.

Thanks to whomever thought up this clever idea.

One of our guild members showed one made from your instructions at our meeting two weeks ago. At a workshop Saturday, one of the participants said she has made 38 since our meeting, and plans several more. She works in a bank and intends to put one on each person's desk. I made seven yesterday morning for a meeting last night in a little less than an hour. I know a lot of people liked and made the coordinating coasters and hot pads, but I think this has gone over even better. It makes a small, quick, but thoughtful thinking of you gift for so many occasions. Thank you, again, whoever posted this.

These are great! I made a bunch of them and gave them to all the girls at my quilting group. I have another bunch of them ready for our Thanksgiving dinner crowd. Very easy but nice to make. Janie
