DIY Make-Up Pouch

 

Supplies needed:

Zipper (6in or 7in)

Fabric

Thread

Scissors

Ruler

Sewing machine (you can hand sew it if you’re crafty)

 

 

Step 1: cut your fabric 11in x 8in (or 1 inch longer than your zipper)

 

 

Step 2: fold your 11in length of your fabric in half right sides together. Then pin ½in along the edges.

 

Step 3: Sew.

 

Step 4: this is the hardest part. Put your zipper face down on the right side of the fabric. Pin.

 

 

Step 5: Sew along the pins. Be sure to pull the pouch open so that you don’t sew it closed!

 

Step 6: Repeat on the other side.

 

Step 7: …there is no step 7! You’re finished, can you believe it?!? Easy right?

 

 

 These pouches are awesome! You can use them for all the necessities – Make-up, pencils, jewelry, cash – switch up the size and you can use it for EVERYTHING!
