How To Make A DIY Makeup Roll

What you’ll need

DIY Makeup Roll - Materials

What to do:

Start by choosing your fabric. You can pick one or two pieces of fabric. If you choose two different materials, each fabric should be a ½ yard. Cut two pieces of each size: 15” x 9”, 15” x 5”, 15” x 6”, and 2” x 8”.

Next, match each size together with the right side of the fabric touching. You’ll want to pin or clip the fabric in place.

DIY Makeup Roll Step 2

Now it’s time for the fun part! Sew around each piece, leaving a ¼” inseam. While sewing the outer section of the pouch, take the largest piece (15” x 9”) and leave a small 3” gap on the right side. This is where your strap will be sewn in, so make sure the gap is placed in the middle.

Turn out each piece and iron.

Next, place the strap (2” x 8”) piece into the gap left on the outer section of the pouch (the 15” x 9” piece).

DIY Makeup Roll Step 5

Now align your 15” x 5” piece with the outer section of the roll. This will create your pockets. Then topstitch around the bottom and the sides of the 15” x 9” piece.

For a custom fit, place your makeup inside of the pocket. Use a ruler and a pen with disappearing ink, (or a pencil,) to draw crisp lines (roughly 2” apart).

Sew along the lines, making several small pockets.

Iron to erase the marking or use an eraser if you used a pencil.
