With cold and flu season upon us, many of us are carrying around packs of Kleenex in our purses. Melinda from Creations by Melinda shows how to make this fabric cover for travel tissue packs. This is such an easy little project – make up a bunch and hand them out to your friends as mid-winter Happy Day gifts. Go to the tutorial.

we made these is my wedding colors and had them next to the guestbook for anyone. Everyone loved them! That was several years ago and I still know people who pull them out of their purses.
What a cool idea for a wedding!
it seems as though the tissue pcks i buy now don’t open like they used to – they now open from the top, like a box. with this new trend, the typical patterns no longer work – help!!!
could you use a pair of sharp scissors to create an opening down the front of the package, leaving the top closed up?
