What are cotton rounds?
Cotton rounds are small, circular pieces of cotton that you can use to remove excess makeup from your face and the delicate skin around your eye area. It’s also suitable for removing nail polish on fingers or toes by placing around over the top of each finger or toenail before wiping off with a dry cloth. Cotton rounds don’t need to be washed every time they’re used because they will only get soiled during application; however, you must wash them weekly to maintain their softness and absorbency levels. Reusable cotton rounds make sense when considering how much money people spend on these items at stores like CVS (if even available).
Why would you want to make them instead of buying them?
- Making your cotton rounds is cheaper than buying them from the store.
- They will last a lifetime (up to 500 washes) and fully grown in about one year, meaning you don’t have to use plastic to reuse them.
- It’s easy – all it takes is some cotton yarn that can be purchased at any craft or fabric store.
How to make your own reusable cotton rounds?
You can make your cotton rounds! You can use an old towel or a spare sheet. Cut the fabric into strips, and then cut it to a round shape.
Once you have your cotton rounds how they need to be, please put them in boiling water for about 15 minutes with some vinegar added (so that there’s no residue on the cloth). Rinse them out after they are done soaking and let them dry overnight so that they’re ready to go tomorrow morning!
You’ll never want anything else when it comes time for makeup removal again because these work great for taking off makeup as well as other tasks like cleaning up spills and getting grime off of surfaces. And the best part is—you don’t have to waste money buying expensive moist wipes ever again!!
Make your reusable cotton rounds to use for makeup removal. This is an excellent way to clean up the environment.
One of my favorite sustainable sewing projects is making these DIY reusable cotton rounds. As a woman, I have to use quite a lot of cotton rounds monthly, and if I buy the ones from the store, there’s no waste with me- they’re all used up! That’s why these DIY makeup remover pads are great for every gal on their way to being more environmentally conscious about her lifestyle. Plus, you get an extra perk: saving money while using them! Making them isn’t hard at all either; take a look at this tutorial, and you’ll see that it easy enough even for beginners like myself.”
The effects of our factory and industry-centered society have been felt for years, but now the environment is in danger. People need to consider that their attitudes about pollution are contributing significantly to this problem.
I know that I’m not the most environmentally conscious person out there, but I do my best to try and help protect it. And for this reason, any sustainable sewing project makes me happy. The fashion industry, after all, is a great contributor to pollution, so making fewer clothes myself in favor of recycled materials or upcycled fabrics helps take away from our negative impact on Earth!
Making your reusable cotton rounds is a great way to save money and be environmentally conscious!
In this tutorial, I will show you how to make them out of flannel fabric that can easily just washed in the washing machine. You’ll need scissors or cutting mat, glass head pins for sewing on edges; a serger (or simple) sewing machine with plenty of bobbins filled with thread colors from reds and oranges through blues and purples, etc., some good quality quilting weight 100% cotton yarn needlepoint canvas 18″x18″. These are made by stitching long lines then cross-stitching at right angles, looking like woven cloth.
The instructions are clear and concise, ensuring you know what to do
STEP 1: Arrange the essential materials
The main idea behind this project is to be sustainable. That is why it would be best to save some fabric that you don’t need anymore for this project instead of buying more fabric. You will need cotton or organic flannel. If you don’t have any, try looking in a thrift store or an organic sewing supplies store.
Thoroughly wash your fabric before you begin doing anything with it! There are many advantages to the present. You’ll avoid any shrinking or deforming of the cotton rounds afterward, and if there’s shrinkage in the least, it’ll happen here only.
For this project, you will need either scissors or a rotary cutter with a cutting mat. You will also need a sewing machine and thread the same color as your fabric.
TIP: You can use a machine that makes the string tight or one that cuts in both directions. It would be great to have one, but you can still do the project without it if you do not have one.
STEP 2: You need to download the pattern. Then you can cut it.
If you want to make a snowflake paper, download the free pattern and print it on US letter paper. Cut it out. If you don’t have a printer, you can use a glass with a circle opening as your stencil. Ideally, the stencil should be about 4 inches wide, but it can also be bigger or smaller. You can also use an alternative like a coffee mug or metal lid instead of a glass to make the stencil.
STEP 3: Cut out fabric with friendliness.
Fold the fabric in half. Use your pattern to cut out circles. Cut them as close as you can so that you end up using more fabric than if you had cut them individually. Kind of like when you make round cookies and have to cut out dough for each one at a time instead of just making one big circle-shaped dough and cutting it into slices.
If you employ a rotary cutter, confirm that you have an area to chop. Opened up your cutting mat on the ground or a desk. Put the material over the mat and begin cutting.
STEP 4: You need to pin the piece of fabric to the board.
Place two rounds on top of each other. Make sure the edges line up. Put the circles (wrong sides together), and pin them together.
STEP 5: Sew
If your sewing machine does not have a serger stitch, use a medium zigzag stitch. When you reach the end of the seam, go over it just a bit to help make sure that the stitching does not come undone.
Your first reusable cotton round is now ready.
Make at least a few of these and put them in your bathroom, so you can get one when you need it. You want to put the used wipes in another container to wash with your clothes.
How can you clean reusable cotton rounds?
You can clean reusable cotton rounds how you would like any other cloth item. You could wash it in the washing machine on a cold or warm cycle with like colors, then dry it in the tumble dryer. If there are stains that won’t come out using this method, try soaking the cotton round for an hour or so before scrubbing at it with a gentle cleanser and rinse thoroughly afterward to remove all traces of soap residue from it your skin’s pores which might irritate if left untreated. To store them, fold them neatly into thirds, then place them inside their appropriate storage bag (washcloth-sized bags work well). This way, they’ll be ready when you need one!
Summing Up,
Now that you know what reusable cotton rounds are, why they’re worth making and how to make them, we hope you’ll start your recycling project at home. We also encourage you to follow these ways to recycle school supplies. Whether it’s a pencil case or an old notebook, there are plenty of things around the house just waiting for a new life with some creativity thrown in!
