This is not your ordinary fabric cosmetic bag! We all know how messy a cosmetics container can become, so why not make one that can be easily wiped clean? Begin by selecting a few coordinating fabrics from our online fabric store and get started on this super-cute craft.
The directions are for this particular tote, though more ideas are shown!
No more messes with a wipe-clean makeup tote!
You will need:
• Fabric of choice
• Paint-on outer coat for protection (use your preferred brand or use oilcloth)
• Iron
• Scissors
• Sewing machine or mad hand skills
What to do:
• Cut fabric or oilcloth into two 22cm x 19cm rectangles
• Press 1.5cm seam under one edge of each piece for zipper
• Insert an 18cm zipper
• Pin and sew lower edging together with 1.5cm allowances
• Fold the corners of the fabric as pictured and sew 4cm across
• Trim extra fabric
• Turn right side out
• Create a dainty handle with a ribbon by threading it through the zipper handle and securing into a knot or bow!
