DIY Tissue Packets

July 20th, 2010 @ 6:10 pm by Mrs. Sewing

Sometimes, I feel like I’ll really miss this wedding planning business. I’ve had so many amazing conversations with Mr. Sew during the process. Sure, some of them involved fighting, but there were also plenty with riotous laughing and victory dances around the living room.

Take, for instance, this super cute “tears of joy” project by the talented Mrs. Sunrise:

I was instantly smitten and wrote “tissue packets” up on my pet-project list.

As soon as all our “required” projects were completed, I followed Mrs. Sunrise’s tutorial and gathered my supplies.

I won’t rehash her step-by-step process, but I added some red ribbon and a little image to about 40 packets of Target brand tissue.

Now, what does this have to do with Mr. Sew? Well, see for yourself:

The funny thing is, Mr. Sew probably has a point. I will be one surprised Sewing if anyone starts crying. We come from rather unemotional families. But there are more than enough people with chronic allergies. So it’s not too far-fetched.

Anyway, just another sweet, cute idea—ruined by a couple of nerds with too much pre-wedding time on their hands. I love it, and even better—Mr. Sew loves it.

Are your guests more likely to sneeze from flower pollen, or from flowery sentiments of love?

LOL. I love it!! I’m an unemotional person myself, but I admit I’ve unexpectedly teared up at weddings. Not from the flowery sentiments of love, but usually just watching my friends looking so happy.

I love love love that little cartoon of yours.

So funny! And true… I cry at wedding, but I rarely need more that one or two tissues. I would totally save the rest for my allergies!

You two are too cute for words. My guests are probably likely to use the tissues to wipe off their sweat from sitting in the sun.

Love these! You guys are too flippin’ cute! Our hankies for tears of joy were put to good use as we have a fair number of criers in our families.

Cute! I love that you keep incorporating your drawings into your wedding; my mister is quite the drawer too (although he draws Transformers). I hope I can coax him to do some drawings for our wedding and let his talent shine just like you’ve done! Both of our families are pretty unemotional - I mean, British and Japanese, come on! But I am hoping we’ll make a few of my girlfriends cry because I’m pure evil!

Ms. Sewing! I adore you! This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I check WB everyday, hoping you’d post. I need to pack of your a.w.e.s.o.m.e. tissue of joy just thinking that you’re *that* close to your wedding day and will be leaving us soon. boo hoo…

@Miss Hot Wings: ohh, i hadn’t thought of that use. very practical!
@Miss Pretzel: Aww! I’m glad they got used! I want to see the pictures of your sobbing guests! ;)
@xoxokristin: wow. tell him to write me a tutorial on transformers. I can’t draw machines to save my life. Only round blobby things. lol. He should definitely draw for you though! Get him started early!
@sfgal: aww! I guess I’ll need some too then! I don’t want to leave just yet!:P
@mrspaetz: haha! will do! and i’ll still be surprised if anyone breaks out the tears! :)
