In just a few steps, you can make soft, reusable make-up remover pads from a discarded terry towel. This DIY idea is not only environmentally friendly, but also particularly easy to implement. Perfect for anyone who values sustainability and stylish solutions in everyday life.
You will need:
Towel, round template, pen, pins, sewing needle and yarn
1. create template
Place the round template on the towel and trace the outline with the pen. You will need two circles per pad.
2. cutting & fixing
Carefully cut out the circles. Tip: The more even they are, the better they can be sewn together later.
Place two circles on top of each other and secure them with pins.
3. sewing
Sew the edges together with a needle and thread using a straight stitch or zigzag stitch. Leave a gap of about 5 mm to the edge.
4. ready
Your washable make-up remover pads are ready for use! Simply wash them in a laundry bag after use.

Would you like to bring a breath of fresh air into your bathroom?
With rolled towels, you can create more structure in no time at all, save space and give your shelf a stylish, almost luxurious look - without any major effort.
1. spread out the towel and fold lengthwise
Lay the towel out on a flat surface and smooth it out.
Fold the towel once lengthwise in the middle to create a narrower shape.
2. fold in the ends and roll
Fold in one corner at a slight angle on one side - this provides support at the end.
Start on the opposite side and roll up the towel tightly towards the folded-in corner.
3. fix and ready
The angled fold means the roll stays in shape by itself - without any tape or elastic.
The rolled towels not only look neat, but also bring an elegant spa feeling into your home.
