@crazysheepgirl, you had the best idea, thanks!! Love this little project.
If you want this puch to hold the travel Kleenex pouches you need to cut the square 5.5" x 7" otherwise it will be too small!
Why is it called a "hankie holder" when it holds tissues? In my experience, a hanky (spelled with a "y", not cutesie "ie" - perhaps the "ie" is used here so as not to be confused with "Mr. Hanky" on South Park?) is a handkerchief, made of cloth. "Tissue tote" - or something similar - would be more accurate....
These would be cute for the travel size wet wipes too.
These are very cute. I used the printed felt that you can get at Hobby Lobby.
They have a large selection of some really cute patterns.

This is a quick and easy project. I made these for my son's mother's day stall at school.
bonv - the instructions are right next to the photo. they're pretty simple.
Seriously where are the hankie holder instructions? I can't find them.
When I made the Hankie Holder I made a small flower not a heart. This is how I did it I made two or three leaves and sewed a back stitch up them to hold the leave on. Plus the stitching looks like part of the leaves. Then I cut out the flower. For the center of the flower I used a shank button. I thought it turn out really cute.
The hankie holder is a very cute idea...
Thanks so much for doing that. I was SO confused! : ) I appreciate it.
I typed Hankie Holder in the search box and got this:
Hankie Holder. Cut a 61/4-by-43/4-inch rectangle of felt with pinking shears; fold in edges to meet at center. Sew ends with a running stitch. Backstitch an initial on a cutout heart; apply with fabric glue.. Stitching a few school supplies and...
But when I clicked on ARTICLE, it took me back to the same page with pic of it, but directions to pencil case....at least you can see the dimensions :)
....So the hanky holder directions are where?
I just see pencil case also..whats up with this?
MSL needs better quality control on this site. I've found these liink errors before. I measured one of my tissue pocket packs and I think we need to cut (using pinking shears) a felt rectangle 6 inches wide by 7-1/2 inches long. Fold long ends to meet in center then sew side edges with a running stictch. Add your own personalized initial applique.
How do we get the Hankie Holder directions?!
It's not just you, jo68! I can only see Pencil Case directions near a picture of a Hankie Holder too!
I was looking for a 'Hankie Holder' but got instructions for a Pencil Case. What's up Doc? I see by the picture and directions how I can make a Hankie Holder but its
confusing and disappointing with such an error.
i have a mac and have had no problems. make sure that all of your JAVA files are updated in your system, and your "Update Account Settings" on the marthastewart.com website has to be changed to specify your preference to stop or add daily emails. lastly, inacceptable isn't a word - try "unacceptable".
There was a problem for people with macs. My daughter and a friend couldn't get the dailey emails so we finally found a way to contact them and they got the glitch fixed as far as receiving the daily emails. I wonder if the problem also needs to be fixed for getting off the lists. If you have a mac and are having problems, that may be it.
Is there a "Hanky Holder?" Because this is a "tissue holder."
Did you know that most children don't even know what a hanky or handkerchief is?
If you go to the bottom of the page, there's a link, labled"felt pencil case", you can find the dimensions and other instructions, Have a nice day!.
Love it! Thanks for taking the time to share. :)
mmmm someone having a bad day?
The dimensions for the hankie holder are 6.25 x 4.75.
Where are pictures of the pencil case or notebook cover? You have pictured a travel tissue holder, but no dimensions for those. I know most of us can figure that out, but please try harder on getting pictures, instructions, materials list, etc. correct before posting. I see this on so many of marthastewart.com craft projects, recipes... it's really very irritating. Also, there is no place for us to report website errors or bugs. Thank you. stacionline@yahoo.com
it seems like you would just cut a piece of felt to the right size and sew the edges shut

Is there a link to the right one?
I have been wanting to make these for a long time. I'm disappointed that the instructions are wrong.
These are the wrong directions for the hankie holder
I absolutely love these tissue holders. I am addicted to making them! I have decided to make one for all the moms in my mom's group -almost 20 of them. I did cut out the felt into a little bigger rectangle to fit my tissue packs though! So easy and a great craft.
