Strawberry Crochet Tissue Holder

Crochet pocket tissue holders are the perfect way to style up the standard packaging and make them a fun item. These days everyone should be carrying tissues to catch any sneezes so I thought why not make something fun out of the functional and my idea for the strawberry tissue holder was born. The pocket tissue holder is open at the top for easy access and it will stop your tissues from getting lost at the bottom of your bag.

Add this strawberry pocket tissue holder to your Ravelry queue.
