Making a Tissue Box Holder

RE: Making a Tissue Box Holder By blindquilter (Guest Post) did you mean a tissue holder shaped LIKE a school bus, or one to keep on the bus? if it's to be shaped like a bus make a pattern from an empty regular tissue box (not the square box), making sure you add 1/2 inch overlaps so you can glue (cardstock). then, on one of the long sides, add a "bump up" about 3 inches by 6 inches. this will be the part of the bus with the windows. the rest of that side will be the part where the engine is. good luck///blind_quilter///yahoo Posted on 02/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making a Tissue Box Holder By karen_annette (3) Contact You might want to check with the local authorities first. My friend's daughters drive the special needs busses and they are not allowed to have anything onboard that might fly around and injure someone if in an accident. Strictly prohibited. This includes the driver's pocketbooks. Please check around first so you don't get in trouble. I never knew of this rule until she mentioned it one day. They have to keep their ID's in their pockets.

Either way... Simply take apart a box of tissues & remake one using the original as a pattern ... to make it you can use "FunFoam" (& glue) or fabric with super-thick interfacing... If I were you, I'd add magnets to the bottom so you can just stick it up somewhere on the bus! ... Magnets come in stick-on strips with adhesive on the back. You can buy them at craft stores...OR you can just buy a bag of those tiny "portable" (purse sized) tissue holders & stick magnets on these & stick them up in various places around the bus... 4 TISSUE HOLDER PATTERNS: http://sewing.about.com/od/bagstotespurseproject/ss/envelopetissue.htm http://craftapalooza.typepad.com/crafted/2006/09/lifting_the_ton.html http://stardustshoes.blogspot.com/2006/03/tissue-holder-tutorial.html http://belladia.typepad.com/photos/ ... _tissue_holder_tuto/p1010004jpg.html CROCHETED TISSUE HOLDER: http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/pursetissue.html EMBROIDERED TISSUE HOLDER: (These are PDF files) http://www.pfaffusa.com/721_5105.html Posted on 02/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making a Tissue Box Holder By LITTLE SUZY (338) Profile Contact Here's a website I found that has a cute one at the bottom of the home page. http://thecalicocat.com/patterns-sneezes.htm Posted on 02/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
