This was a Christmas gift for my mom. I ran out of time, but would have liked to have worked on the lid a little bit more. Darn thing did not want to sit the way I wanted it to, and you can see the gap in this picture which makes me all itchy crazy. Of course once my mom saw it she declared it perfect and wouldn't let me have it back.
Instead of a pouffy knob of the same fabric I used a vintage button I bought from Lillian Olive on Etsy. Next time I'd change the position of the elastic, pushing it farther off to one side for easier access. I'd also consider making the lid smaller so that it doesn't hang off on all four sides. The overall fit was perfect on a tissue box from Trader Joe's, and the tissues do flow freely through the spout.
Voilà, one tea pot tissue box cozy!
