Lovely photos of her, she's such a sweetie!

I would just leave the tissue for now & let her do what she wants when she wants.
I've only had one female Russian, unlike my boys who usually just slept in the same place she would always have about five nests at any one time! As long as she's got plenty of substrate & options for houses or places to nest she'll be fine.
I haven't found mine use hay for nests if I put it in the cage & you do have to be careful, freeze it for about a week or a minimum of 48hrs then pick out any sharp bits that might damage pouches or poke her in the eye or something.
