You need a few scraps of fabric and about 20 minutes or less to sew one up.

Here are the instructions:
Cut lining fabric 6 1/2” x 8” Cut outside fabric 6 1/2” x 6” |
Match 6 1/2” edges of lining and sew with a 1/4” seam. |
Turn right side out and press the seam towards the lining fabric. |
Fold so that the lining is on the inside and the main fabric is on the outside. Tape close to the edges. |
Fold so that the lining is on the inside and the main fabric is on the outside. Tape close to the edges. |
Turn inside out and sew a 1/4” seam along each raw edge. |
Trim corners so the corners will lay flat when you turn it right side out. |
Turn right side out. Push corners out so they are square. Press and steam lightly. |
Slip the tissues into the pocket. I take the plastic package off the tissues, but that isn"t necessary. You can slip a new package inside instead. |

What a great idea! With the huge number of choices in fabrics now days, you could get fabric that reflects the person. Great idea!
A woman in our church makes beautiful hand-crafted cards. She and I are getting together so that we can have cards and matching tissue covers.
Another woman collects donations from church members to give a gift to people who loose loved ones, the card and tissue cover will be given along with the gift as a more personalized way to say, "I'm so sorry for your loss."
I think these would make great little gifts for children to make and give away to Grandmas, Aunts, and teachers for Christmas, too!
This is absolutely amazing -- and so much cuter than the crinkly plastic! I haven't used a sewing machine since high school but I've wanted to get back into it and this looks like it could actually be doable. Thank you for your clear instructions; if I do attempt it I'll report back :).
Yes! Please let me know how it goes! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If I can make the directions any more clear, I will!
