Let's make a handmade tissue case: A collection of stylish and easy ideas (1–10)
Only two seams! Tissue case with a back pocket
This is a method for making a tissue case by folding a rectangular piece of fabric and sewing just two spots on the sides.
If you start by measuring the fabric carefully and pressing the folds well with an iron, all that’s left is to sew the two sides, so even those who aren’t confident in sewing should find it easy.
Following the ironed creases, place the fabric right sides together, sew the sides, then turn it right side out and it’s done.
Since there’s so little sewing, you can make it by hand without a sewing machine.
There’s also a pocket on the back, making it practical, too.
Mobile pocket with tissue case
Why not try handmaking a portable pocket with a built-in tissue case—perfect for getting ready for preschool or elementary school? You can make it easily from a single piece of fabric! It’s compact, but the boxed bottom gives it depth, so it’s convenient for holding thicker items like terry handkerchiefs.
It also comes with clips to attach the pocket to clothing! Since it uses one piece of fabric, the key points are pressing the fold lines with an iron and creating the boxed corners.
Be careful not to mix up the folds.

Make it with Perler beads! Sumikko Gurashi tissue case
How about using Perler beads—kids’ all-time favorite—to make a tissue box cover featuring Sumikkogurashi, a character beloved by children? Arrange the beads on the six faces—the four sides, top, and bottom—according to the character design, then fuse them with an iron.
Once you’ve made all six panels, simply snap them together.
You can use it with either boxed tissues or loose tissues.
With this design, the case stands upright for easy tissue dispensing, and the top surface can also serve as a small tray for accessories.
Just wrap it in a furoshiki! Tissue box cover
This is a no-sew tissue box cover that you can make simply by wrapping it with a furoshiki or similar cloth.
Place a box of tissues in the center of the cloth, fold in the shorter sides of the box first, then fold the longer sides toward the box, align the corners of the fabric, and tie them together.
Since all you do is fold and tie the corners, it’s perfect even for those who say, “I’m clumsy and can’t sew!”—you’ll have an easy, original tissue cover in no time.
If you don’t have a furoshiki at home, try using a bandana or a large handkerchief—about 50 cm works well!
Just one seam! Pocket tissue case with a lid
A pocket tissue case with a flap that makes you want to ask, “Can you really make it with just one seam?” What’s more, it not only has a flap but also an extra pocket, so it looks very practical.
Prepare the outer and lining fabrics, draw the lines following the pattern, press crisp creases with an iron, layer the two pieces of fabric, sew in a U-shape, then turn it right side out—and you’re done! The folds may seem a bit tricky, but it’s fine if you follow along with the video.
It’s so easy that you can make plenty and they’ll make great gifts!
