don't toss it..re use it!

Getting a bit of a head start on some spring cleaning around here.

As I was organizing the bathroom cabinet, I realized that old stash

of drug store make-up that only sees the light of day at halloween,

could probably be replaced with an organic, animal friendly version.

Yet, when all those little compacts and containers were just sitting there

in the waist bin I thought, now what is the point of this..if I am just putting them into the landfill?
Then I had a great idea....felt make-up!

TA-DA!

These were super easy to make and only took minutes.

Simply

-clean out the trays really well

- trim the felt just a touch bigger than to fit inside

- put a dab of glue down inside the tray

-press the felt in place

..and there you go!
Of course, the girls were thrilled to have their very own make-up,

I couldn't resist the urge to make an "old timey" make-up puff

..cause I had all the fabric just laying about anyway. :)

..Lilly had to climb the table she was so excited..

oh, wait, she does that all the time ..

There you have it! Three of my favorite things, organizing, recycling,

and yet another use for these fantastic felted wool sweaters!

Wait.. make that four things..can't forget happy kids!
