Abbreviations used:

Join beige in any st on the opening. Slip stitch all the way around opening.

Now you will sew all the sides together using a whip stitch forming a box shape. Sew on the top with whip stitch with right side facing down. (This is the side where you slip stitched around the opening.) When you are done sewing you will turn it inside out so to speak so it is now right side out keeping all your whip stitching on the inside and your nice slip stitched opening will be on top. Place it over the tissue box. This will help when you sew on the dog parts.
