Travel Tissue packaging changes and solutions!
Have you noticed that travel-size facial tissue packaging has changed?
Ever since I can remember they've always had a slit opening, but apparently manufacturers have changed the packaging so that the opening is along the long/narrow side.
So, folks are asking, how do you use your travel tissue holders that open in the center with these newfangled packages?

I came up with these two easy, peasy ideas:These two ideas solve the problem and keep your pretty travel tissue covers in use.
- Take an exacto knife and make your slit right where you need it, place in your cover. OR;
- Remove the tissues from the plastic packaging and place directly inside your pretty cover.
- If giving as a gift, place the unopened travel tissue pack inside the cover with a little note explaining that the recipient should remove the plastic & slide the tissues back in the cover.
A 3rd alternative...try making my new travel tissue holder pattern (to be released soon!).
I made the tissue covers and loved making them.....they were just perfect but I guess I am like everyone else and had hard time finding the right tissues.......thanks in advance for the new ones.........
Thanks Jeanne.
I'm doing some additional testing on the new pattern--finishing several samples and instruction editing (cleaning up my notes to make understandable instructions + pictures).
The final pattern is expected by the weekend. I think they're super cute...but then, I am biased. :-)
