Vst Boutique Tissue Box Cover
Designed by Julie A Bolduc
This boutique tissue box cover is fast and easy to make and is made with a brass ring at the top so the hole will keep it's shape when pulling a tissue out of the box. I used scraps that did not have labels for this pattern so I cannot tell you what brand or color acrylic yarn it is.
