Tiny Target Tissues



Have you seen those little boxes of tissues at the Dollar Spot at Target? They are only 3 inches by 3 inches! So, I'm thinking how cute would a little cover be for those Tiny Target Tissues?! I picked one up, actually four, and brought it/them home and got to work.



I used the same concept as the big tissue box holder that you can find on Splitcoast, just smaller. I wanted a small sentiment for the front, so I went with Papertrey Ink's Greenthumb stamp set. I embellished the little tags with some of my homemade paper roses, some leaf punches, and half pearls. On the top of the box, I cut the hole with an oval nestability. This was the only part of the project that was time consuming. I wanted the hole big enough for the tissues to come out, but the inside cardboard of the box showed, so I finally just made the hole bigger on the tissue box so the hole in the lid wouldn't show.



Question, am I the only person in the world that pulls out six tissues when I open the box and then they are all ripped? Why can't I just pull one tissue out, they all come out?

Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink-Greenthumb
Ink: Versafine Sepia
Paper: Bazzill, My Mind's Eye
Misc: Scor-pal, nestabilities, scor-tape, paper punch, paper roses, half pearls




This is a great little present to leave for a friend, co-worker, or anyone who needs their day brightened. Who does need a little tissue? Get it, a little tissue...because they are little! I crack myself up sometimes!

Thanks for stopping by,

  2. These are very nice. I purchased a few myself and will be using my Cricut E to make the cut on the top.

  3. I love this idea! A sweet little get-well present idea too :)
    And you are totally not the only one with the tissue problem - I always end up with a chunk of a dozen tissues and nothing big enough to blow my nose with! lol

  4. I bought some of those at Michaels when I saw them but they were decorated in Mary Englebriet cuteness. I bought them because I got a Christmas tissue box from my Stampin' Up! demonstrator friend. Thought they would be adorable mini-size. I love your little roses. They are just the right touch!
