Hey guys, I made a tissue box cover.
I used these plastic canvas sheets,
this yarn, and a tapestry needle.
First, I cut out my pieces.
For the top piece, I left an extra row on all 4 sides.
For all the side pieces,
I left an extra row at the top, left, and right side.
I made a rectangle in the center of the top piece.
Then, cut it out.
I cut out 2 pieces for each side
to make the tissue box cover more sturdy.
For all the side pieces,
bring your needle up through both canvases.
Leave a little extra yarn at the end.
Wrap around the edge and the extra yarn in the back.
Then, go 1 column over.
This creates an overcast stitch.
I wrapped the end 4 times.
Then, cut the extra yarn.
At the end of the row, go 1 row up and 1 column over
to create a tiny diagonal pattern.
This is the pattern I used throughout the whole project.
I tucked in the end and cut the extra yarn.
I continued making the other side pieces.
I went 1 row up and made a diagonal.
Begin the new yarn at the next column
of where the previous yarn ended.
All the side pieces had the overcast stitch at the bottom.
For the top piece, I didn’t add an overcast stitch to the edges.
When I reached the opening at the center,
I added an overcast stitch around the edges.
I tucked the yarn under the last corner
and continued making diagonals.
Make sure the diagonals
at the top and bottom face the same direction.
I connected the larger side pieces to the top piece,
using the diagonal pattern.
Then, I connected the smaller sides to the top piece.
I left extra yarn on both ends.
I wrapped each corner with yarn twice.
Then, continued to join the sides.
I wrapped the yarn around the bottom,
tucked in the end, and cut the extra yarn.
I covered the corners with yarn,
so that the canvas wouldn’t show
and here’s how it turned out.
