Over at Needlepoint Nation, someone asked if there were tissue toppers for needlepoint. The answer is yes! If you are interested in the long rectangle tissue box covers, Leigh Designs has eight that are lovely.
There are stitch guides for three of these. I'm sorry the photos aren't better. They are fabulous stitched! West Coast Finishing made these up and says they aren't hard to do.
Lee's Needle Arts has a long rectangular leather box with room for a needlepoint insert that is 2 3/4 inches wide by 6 inches long. This is self-finishing.
Lee also has a small tissue box cover in leather with a round insert that is about 2 3/4 inches. Both styles of Lee tissue box covers come in a variety of leather colors. This is also self-finishing.
For a while Needlepoint.com had acrylic tissue boxes with a space for a canvas insert but they don't seem to have these any more and I can't find them elsewhere. Regardless, your tissues can be just as pretty as the rest of your home in this unusual way to showcase your needlepoint.
