Instructions:

Tissue Box Top: Cut 1 piece of canvas 32X32 threads (31X31 holes), don't forget to cut out the center. Following the pattern, stitch as indicated. Might, I suggest that you do the motif (in #07 Pink) last. Following the numbers, up through 1, down through 2, and so on. Once done one section of the motif, turn the project clockwise and start again (stitching towards the right instead of the left, up through 1 in the middle and down through the previous 2). Once again when done that section, you'll be ready for the next, without turning this time, up through the same 1, this time stitching towards the left and following the previous directions. Once you start to figure out the pattern, it'll stitch very quickly and easily. Overcast the center in #39 Eggshell.

Tissue Box Side: Cut 4 pieces of canvas 32X38 threads (31X37 holes). Following the pattern, stitch as indicated. Stitch the center motif in #07 Pink (this one is easier, just up through 1, down 2, up 3, down 4, etc....). When done all 4 sides. Whipstitch all pieces to the top with #46 Purple, don't forget to Overcast the bottom of the sides. Slide a box of tissues in and you're set. **Note: if you use a colored box it will show through the unstitched areas.**

Sachet: Cut 2 pieces of canvas 20X20 threads (19X19 holes). Stitch as indicated, leaving the motif (done in #07 Pink) for last. Following the numbers, up through 1, down through 2, and so on. One done one section of the motif, turn the project clockwise and start again (stitching towards the right instead of the left, up through 1 in the middle and down through the previous 2). Once again when done that section, you'll be ready for the next, without turning this time, up through the same 1, this time stitching towards the left and following the previous directions. Once again, when you start to figure out the pattern, it'll stitch very quickly and easily.
