MAKE IT: Adding Tissue to Gift Totes

Step 1: Gather supplies. We used Jillson & Roberts Holiday Spectacular Tote (XMT740) with Lime (FT41), Green (FT13), and Red (FT09) tissue. We also used a ruler, scissors, and double sided tape for this project

Step 2: Cut tissue into rectangles approximately 7″x10″.

Step 3: Take one rectangle of each color you are using and layer them – make sure they are at angles to each other so the different colors will all show in the end. Take the pile of three pieces and grab the middle, twisting it to a point on the bottom until the sheets form a cone shape. You can tape around the bottom point to hold it together if they seem to be untwisting while making the others!

Step 4: Put some double sided tape on the inside collar of the tote and stick your tissue pieces onto it. Start in one corner on the front and continue around until it has the desired fullness. How closely you space the tissue will determine how dense it is. We used 6 tissue clusters for the front and 6 for the back.

Step 5: Add gift to tote and share! Happy gifting!

*Note: We used three different colors of tissue, you can use more or less sheets and/or colors depending on the desired result. You can also change the order of colors for some clusters to get a more colorful look!
