Make-Up Bag

Time required: 1 hour

Is it time for a new make-up bag? This quick and easy box bag is perfect for make-up or other stashes. Make it in a fun floral cotton for the ladies or a cotton duck for a masculine look. If you want a waterproof bag, use vinyl or a coated fabric.

We have provided dimensions for two different sizes – but you can adjust the size to your liking.
