DIY Tutorial: Make Your Own Mini Boxy Makeup Bag

DIY today for creating this boxy mini makeup bag. Compact enough for your stylish purse but big enough to fit all your touch up supplies you may need for a party, evening out, or special event like a wedding.

If you’ve never worked with a zipper before, this will be a great project to learn on. I promise, it’s really easy!

Required Material:

Two coordinating fabric (one is preferably upholstery weight), Zipper, Coordinating thread, Pins, Sewing Machine, Scissors, Ruler

Steps:

1. Cut two pieces of each fabric choice. Each piece should be 5 1/2 x 9 1/2

2. Lay one of the outer fabrics face up on your table, and set the zipper on top, face down so the top edge meets the top edge of the fabric. Then lay one of your lining pieces right side down to meet the top edge as well.

3. Pin along that top edge so all three pieces are attached.

4. Baste with needle and thread and then sew with your zipper foot along that top edge. Move your outer fabric so it’s on the outside, right side up.

5. Now place the second lining fabric right side up on your table, then sandwich the pieces you just sewed in between, and finishing with the second outer piece right side down on top.

6. Pin, baste and sew with the zipper foot on the top edge like you did for the other side.

7. After sewing, iron the outer pieces flat, and then fold them together so the outer pieces are right side together and lining pieces sandwiching them.

8. Pin at the opposite side of the zipper and sew along that bottom edge.

9. Move the zipper to the middle, unzip it halfway and sew along those two sides, through the zipper (pinch the zipper together when you’re sewing through it).

10. Pinch each edge in and measure with your ruler 2 1/2 inches across.

11. Mark with a pen that line and then pin next to the it. Sew along the line you drew and then snip off the triangle end. Do the same for all four sides.

12. Fold it inside out, so the outer pieces are on top and you’re done!

How to make mini yarn purse

I wanted to make something out of left over yarn from my Yarn Monogram Wall Decor project. The yarn was in baby pink, hot pink and purple color. These colors were beautiful for some girl’s accessories. So I decided to make a purse. Few days back I had made a hand bag using bath tissue paper and people really loved the idea. In that project I came up with an easy way to make paper yarn out of toilet tissue paper and used braiding technique to make a hand bag. Lot of people asked me if the same bag can be made using a more durable material. Yes! This time I have used the same technique to make a hand bag using yarn which is robust and pretty at the same time!

Required Material:

- Yarn in 3 different colors
- Beads
- Needle and thread
- Cloth for lining
- Scissors

Procedure:

- - - Cut 10 strands of yarn about 1.5 feet long in each of the three different colors
    - Tie 10 strands together at one end. Three groups of strands should be formed in three different colors.
    - Start braiding (interlacing) three groups of strands to form a tight plait.
    - make six such plaits.
    - Next step is to connect all these plaits to each other forming a sheet of plaits.
    - Place two plaits next to each other and add around 10 stitches from top to bottom at equal distance. Every time you add a stitch, add a pearl bead in the stitch.
    - Connect all the braids to each other.
    - Next, keep the sheet of braids over a lining cloth
    - Fold the sheet of braids in half by lifting the bottom side and putting it over the top side.
    - Fold the lining cloth as well
    - Attach lining cloth to the sheet of braids by hand stitching it on left right and top side.
    - Once the lining is attached to the braids, stitch open sides on lining cloth on left and right.
    - Turn the purse inside out and it is ready

Toilet Roll Mini Album Tutorial

No need to buy any fancy supplies to make this toilet roll mini album apart from pretty papers. This is one of the thriftiest and coolest upcycled mini albums that you can make. As an added bonus, this is a project for anyone including seasoned scrapbookers, beginners and children.

Required Materials:

3 or more toilet rolls
folder binder rings
Scrapbook patterned papers to decorate
Ribbon or fibers
A Bone folder – a ruler or dull dinner knife works just as good
A hole punching tool – crop-a-dile or a regular hole punch will do
Adhesive – I used regular PVA glue (white glue) and an old credit card or piece of firm card to spread the glue evenly
Paper trimmer or scissors

Directions

Step 1

Take your cleaned up toilet rolls and flatten them. Use the bone folder to firmly crease the folds so that they are as flat as you can make them.

Step 2

Now measure your flattened roll to get the ‘roll length’ and the ‘roll width’

Cut a piece of Patterned cardstock to be:
roll length + 1″ by 2 x rollwidth then add on an extra 1″

Step 3

align one side of the roll with the edge of the paper and fold it over. Fold over again the remaining small piece. You will now have three panels – the top flap, the middle and bottom panels.

Step 4

Now spread some glue evenly over one side of the flattened toilet roll. stick the roll to the middle panel. Be sure to center it.

Now take a pair of scissors and cut four small wedges in the card as shown below. This will enable us to tuck in the overhanging edges easily.

Step 5

spread a small amount of glue onto the overhanging edges and tuck them inside the roll and press firmly for a good 20 seconds to ensure they stick.

Step 6

Glue down the shorter top flap and tuck in the edges.

Step 7

Then glue down the last panel and overhanging edges.

Step 8

Repeat for the remaining toilet rolls. Cover them in the same or coordinating patterned papers.

Step 9

Take your hole punch tool and punch two holes a quarter inch in from the side of the flattened rolls for binding. My holes are also 3/4″ from the top and bottom of the rolls.
You don’t have to use rings for binding – you can thread through some ribbon and fibers if you wish.

Step 10

Measure and cut three cardstock tags that will fit into the pockets that will be created by the bound pages. I measured my tags to be a little longer so that they will protrude from the pockets.
Punch a hole approx 1/2″ in from the top of each tag in the center. Use a corner rounder punch to round of the corners if you wish.

Thread the pages onto binder rings and tie on some pretty, coordination lengths of ribbon to embellish the album. Embellish the tags with ribbon as well. And you’re done! Decorate each of the pages and tags with embellishments and photos and you have completed your toilet tissue holder mini book!Finished Toilet Roll Mini Album.
