Cozy Cottage Tissue Holder

Make an adorable house-shaped tissue box holder with the tissues coming out of the chimney!

Why did the chimney go to therapy? It had too many (t)issues! Known for her clever use of fusible interfacing to create structural sewing projects, fiber artist Ramune Jauniskis introduces another way of bringing wonder and whimsey to everyday objects: a Cozy Cottage Tissue Holder. The house covers and cleverly disguises the box with the added delight of tissue appearing as smoke rising from the chimney. Fun to make and decorate for all skill levels, the tissue holder transforms plain tissue boxes into a tiny village or enchanting home decor piece.

In this class, Ramune will teach you all the basics and steps needed to create your house, from choosing your fabrics to using fast2fuse (fusible interfacing) to create the house building blocks. Ramune’s whimsical creations are often identifiable by the use of fabric paints and other embellishments using found objects like beads, buttons, and trim. She will also cover a brief overview of surface design should you want to make your own cozy cottage fabric panel. Whether you’re a seasoned fiber artist or a beginner, you’ll be surprised just how fun, quick, and easy this project can be!
