This cute, reversible bag is great as a cosmetic case.
I used two old scarves that were my great grandma's to create this reversible bag that I use to hold my cosmetics. If you can't see from the photo the inside layer is a funky plaid.
It's fun and ridiculously easy to make! Make it your own with your favorite old scarves.

    Tie the corners of the scarves together so that each corner has a knot in it. Tie the knot a few inches in or you won't be able to complete the next step! How far in you tie your knot will depend on the size of your scarves.

The scarves you choose have such wonderful patterns too, it really turned out lovely. Thanks for the tutorial!
