Crochet DIY: Facial Cotton Pads

Pin It I love finding ways of saving money, especially if it means that I can make them myself. It makes me feel more artistic and enables me to use more creativity, since I am such a plain Jane.

While I was crocheting a few newborn owl hats, I noticed how the white eyes resembled cotton pads that I use to remove my makeup. I knew I was using 100% cotton so I decided to make a few to test out.

I immediately loved it. It is soft and the ridges from the crochet were actually very helpful in exfoliating my skin and getting most of the makeup off of areas of my waterline. I think I actually like it more than the disposable ones because I am quite afraid of the pieces of cotton that come off, getting into my eyes.

        Use it. Toss it in laundry. Dry. Reuse.
