My daughters and I are trying to go as natural as possible, so I have been making assorted reusable and “green” hygiene items for quite awhile. We use these makeup remover pads all the time.

To use, we store them wet and ready to use in a lidded, airtight container with a small amount of alcohol free witch hazel.

After these pads get used/ dirty, we collect them into a mesh lingerie bag I have hanging near the tub. This is so none get lost in the wash.

I can get 11-12 pads made from one ball of the solid yarn. I normally make white or ecru, but my daughters prefer the colors. These can be made from dishcloth leftover yarn bits and are a great portable project.

They also make a great gift for environmentally conscience friends.

UPDATE: Added a downloadable/printable PDF file for this pattern available on my blog page
