Agrarian Artisan designs Feeling Greenfacial cleansing pady
Feeling green? These are small cosmetic pads which I have designed to replace cotton wool pads for facial cleansing. When used I store them in a little dish and every few days they get zipped into a small laundry wash bag to go in with the general washing. I find they get softer when washed. I haven't bought any cotton woolpads since making them and I get a buzz every time I use them. They would make great little 'green' presents. The finished size is approximately 2.5"/6cm diameter. An easy make for any crocheter.
