I genuinely hadn’t thought of this before. I’m a big greenie. I never buy things like cotton wool or anything disposable because green issues are really important to me, so having a teenage daughter who likes to slap on make up, I was very happy to find this pattern: reusable make up remover pads! Fab!
From moralfibres.co.uk, the pattern is very quick and simple. You could churn out a dozen of these while watching Eurovision Semi-Final 1 (guess what I’m doing? :P).
What an awesome idea!
I have seen these on pinterest. Did you make them out of cotton?
Hi! I didn’t make them myself. I will be – out of yarn leftovers, but the lady on the blog I sourced this pattern from did make them from cotton. :>>>
On another note, I dug a little net wash bag out of the depths of the closet today for these to be washed in. They are so little, they will disappear down the pipes! :>>
Thanks for featuring my post – can’t wait to see how yours turn out! I can’t think of a better evening – crochet and eurovision! Maybe through in a cheeky glass of wine?!
ps: the net bag sounds like a great idea for washing! Another blogger who made them also had some washing tips for removing make-up stains: http://knittygalore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/crochet-diy-reusable-cotton-wool-pads.html She also made hers a tiny bit bigger to cope with any shrinkage (although it depends on what temperature you wash at).
this is a great idea!*
Love this idea! I think it is a great stash-buster.
I keep making them for people – all the teenage girls in my life seem to love them!
What a great way to be responsible to the earth! I love it! I saw this on Pinterest (or was it some million craft website?) at any rate I thought it was pretty cute and was contemplating making it myself. I think that I shall.
Good for you – they’re so quick to make. My daughter (the Loud One) loves them and uses them every day. :>
What a great idea!
Hey, good idea. Thanks for dropping by my blog.
