A lovely white lacquered tissue box from The Container Store is perfect for Casalguidi Flower by Becky Quine.

I posted about this design previously at https://melitastitches4fun.com/2024/07/25/roman-ruins-by-joan-rinehart-and-casalguidi-flower-by-becky-quine-for-ega-brandywine-chapter/

Since I have enough coasters, I thought about a tissue box for small designs/stitch samples. I initially bought a clear acrylic one but the tissue box didn’t fit. Crazy! Then, I decided clear wasn’t a good idea anyway. This one is white and 5″ wide x 6″ high, it fits a box of tissues, perfect size for small stitched pieces/samples, and is functional.

I finished it as a flat ornament wrapping the excess fabric on the back over a piece of magazine board and piece of wool felt. It is attached to the box with sticky back velcro.

It’s near other yellow decorations in our bedroom. Love it!!

There are 3 more sides that can be decorated. And, I bought 3 more tissue boxes. Eventually, one will be in our bathroom (blues), extra bedroom (purples), and the other in the living room (whatever goes with brown/beige).
