Tutorial: Felt gingerbread house tissue cover or softie

Deby from So Sew Easy shows how to make this felt gingerbread house tissue box cover. The tissue coming out the top looks just like smoke from a warm fire inside. Or, if tissue covers aren’t your thing, sew a bottom on it and stuff it up to make a house softie that would make a cute accent for a mantel or side table. And just like a real gingerbread house, you can decorate it however you like. I’m loving the heart windows she put on the one she made!
