Trace the flat round piece of metal that covers the opening of the jar, not the piece that screws onto the jar.
Make the ‘X’ large enough so that it almost reaches the edges of the felt.
Keep the lid off of the jar until you place the tissues in it.
A brand name box of tissues is better because they tend to be higher quality, meaning they won’t rip as easily when you take them out of the mason jar.
Keeping the right tissue on top is important so that the tissues continue to pop up once you take one out of the mason jar.
Pulling up the top tissue will make sure it doesn’t disappear when you fold the clump of tissues again.
Wipe down the inside of the mason jar beforehand, if necessary. Make sure the lid to the mason jar is off before putting the tissues inside.
It’s also okay to not use a lid at all and simply pull the tissues right out of the open jar.
Decorate the jar before you put the tissues in it.
Pick out an acrylic paint color at your local craft or big box store.
Pick out fun extra decorations at your local craft store.
The drying time will depend on which materials you used, but try to wait at least 2-3 hours before putting the tissues in your jar.
