How to Make DIY Reusable Makeup Remover Pads

Learn how to make DIY reusable makeup remover pads to help you save money and create less waste. It’s a great scrap fabric sewing project!

When you sew you always end up with lots and lots of fabric scraps. Sometimes I feel guilty about throwing them away, and sometimes I don’t. If it’s larger than my hand I usually keep it unless I really love it.

A really easy way to use up those scraps of fabric is to turn them into DIY reusable makeup remover pads. I love using these every night as part of my night time routine. I don’t mind having to wash them every week to keep up.

This scrap fabric project is great for saving money, saving time, and saving the environment! I don’t actually use mine to remove my make up, but I do use it to wipe toner on my face every night and every morning.

You will save time with this sewing project because you’ll never have to buy cotton balls again, and this project is very fast. It’s a great makeup remover if you need it! This is such a great beginner sewing project!

Why reusable?

You’ll save money because you’ll use up scraps that you already have, and you won’t have to buy cotton balls. I think it would be perfect to send off with your college student to school so they don’t have to worry about buying cotton balls!

You’ll save the environment because you won’t be creating more waste or creating a need for more cotton.

Cut out squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches. Each makeup remover pad needs two squares of fabric. Optionally, you can cut a piece of a towel or washcloth into a 4 inch by 4 inch square, and it will become the inside of the pad.
