I seriously made this in about 10 minutes. It goes faster if you have a sewing machine, but if not, needle and thread will work. If you use felt, you can glue the edges.

What's you'll need:
Sewing machine or needle and thread
Pins (if you need to pin down the seams but you may be able to hold the seams in place while you sew if the fabric is thin enough)
Scissors
Travel tissue. You can buy 3 for a dollar at Target!
Fabric of your choosing. I used a fat quarter that was in my scrap box. You could also use a remnant from anything, even a cloth napkin. Iron out the wrinkles beforehand.



1. Fold fabric over, wrong sides together.


2. Cut out a 7in by 7in square in the fabric fold. You should have two pieces or one piece if you don't cut the fold. Doesn't matter as long as it's 7in by 7in.


3. Fold two parallel edges in about 1/4in in to make your seam. Sew the edges.


5. Now fold edges to meet each other and fold one edge over the other. Make sure the seam folds are facing out.


6. Sew the open ends about 1/2in in.


7. Turn right side out.


8. Put tissue in and give to a friend!
