Batman Tissue Box Cover

Since it's the middle of the week I figured today would be the perfect day to take a break from my card making to share with you a tissue box cover I finished over the weekend. 

 

As I was making my daily perusal of ebay a couple weeks ago I came across a DC Comics Super Heroes pattern leaflet - #1779.  It was published by Leisure Arts back in 1997 so you can only imagine some of the prices I saw for this pattern book.  One seller wanted $40 plus shipping.  YIKES!  Needless to say I didn't pay that much and was fortunate enough to come across an auction that had one bid and was ending in less than hour.  By the time it was all said and done I paid less than $15 - including shipping.

 

But I had to have this pattern because a couple of my children are big on the whole DC Comic franchise so I thought it would be cool to make some of these as gifts and such.  Now that I'm done with the Batman box I've moved on to Superman so I'll be sharing him soon.
