Low Hanging Fruit

 In my efforts to pare down my project list, I decided to see what items I could complete quickly.  Early this year I cut up a bunch of fabric to make some little gifts.  

This was definitely some low hanging fruit and is now crossed off the list!




I finished up these eight little tissue holders.



I use the free pattern over at Two Brown Birds.  They really take no time at all to make and they are nice to have around for gifts.

I think I will probably make a few more once the holidays get closer.  
They can easily be made from larger scrap pieces!

Now off to finish the next project on the list...I am on a roll!

I love when there are projects that are quick and easy to finish up; the tissue holders look great! I hope you have a nice (and possibly productive) weekend. :)

Great little project to whet you appetite, Cynthia, and a bonus that you now have 8 tissue holders ready for gifting!!

Cute and useful - always a win in my book! I've made some of those in the past, too - they make great gifts!

Cute! Thanks for the link. I'm off to find some coordinated fabrics. Guess who's making some travel tissue cover this weekend? ;^)

They are cute! And great idea to get the WIP list down - always motivating to cross someting off. And I am sure you will find good homes for your little gifts. xo

Love your bright little tissue covers. I was given one that can also hold a small bottle of hand sanitizer.

I usually avoid making 'other' things and normally only think in terms of quilts. But your tissue holders have inspired me to consider making smaller projects that I can have on hand for little gifts. Not to mention the satisfaction of completing things more often. That would be a win.

I am going to say "Adorable" because cute has been already used so many times :-) When I have little scraps I think zippered pouch but these little itty bitty cute things may just be perfect solution :-) Dang I used cute :-D
