How to Make a Tissue Box Cover. If that box of tissues stands out like a sore thumb, this
guide will help camouflage it with just a little scrap fabric and some sewing. You will
need Tissue box Ruler Fabric Scissors Pins Thread Sewing machine and electric iron (optional).
Step 1. Use a ruler to measure the five sides of your tissue box, excluding the bottom,
and add 1/4 inch to each side for the seam. Step 2. Cut out each side of your fabric with
a pair of scissors and then measure and cut out a slot for the tissues in the top piece.
The size slot you'll need for the tissues will depend on the size of original tissue
box -- measure and cut appropriately. Step 3. Cut a small slit in each corner of the
opening, fold back the edges, and then sew them back for a nice clean look. Use pins
to hold back the flaps as you sew to make things easier. Step 4. Sew all four sides
of the perimeter together inside out to create the sleeve that fits around the box. Step
5. Cut out tiny 1/4-inch squares in each corner of the top piece to create flaps that wrap
around each of the four sides of the sleeve. Step 6. Attach the top piece to the sleeve
by pinning it upside down and then sewing the flaps to each side. You may want to use
an electric iron to smooth the edges and make them as crisp as possible. Step 7. Turn the
cover right side out and then slip over the tissue box. Pull a tissue through the top
slot. Display in plain view for all to see without embarrassment. Did you know If every
household in America used just one box of 100 percent recycled facial tissues instead
of *** fiber tissues, 163,000 trees would be saved.
