Description: This lovely tissue box cover is reversible. Choose two coordinating fabrics and switch back and forth between them when the whim strikes. Works well for holiday designs too. Just choose fabrics designed for two holidays that are back-to-back, like Thanksgiving-&-Christmas, Valentine’s Day-&-Easter (or St. Patrick’s Day if you prefer the green o’ the Irish), or Independence Day-&-Halloween. Makes a great gift for the man in your life, and it’s a perfect gift for a Baby Shower. Sew one up for your kids to give to the teacher, that’ll make them teacher’s pet for sure! Embroider a Monogram and give one to your boss, or add appliques for a really unique gift. The sky’s the limit. One Pattern…Endless Possibilities.
Difficulty level: Easy to sew for confident beginners who are comfortable with a sewing machine and have made a few projects already.
Dimensions: Fits best over Kleenex, Puffs Plus (not the lotion one), and Great Value tissue boxes, but can be easily altered to fit other brands of tissues. Finished measurements: 4-1/2″ wide x 4-1/2″ long x 5-1/8″ tall.
