Two Square Tissue Pouch

Using these same steps the tissue pouch can be made into a variety of gifts just by altering the size of the squares. For example, 2 12" squares will make a cover for huggies baby wipes, 2 16" squares will make a lovely cover for a man size tissue box and 2 10" squares will work nicely for facial wipes. Play around with sizes to create covers for your indervidual gifts but keep them in squares.

These photos were done while making the pouch for the baby wipes using 12" squares.
