Homemade Makeup Bags: Cutting the Fabric

Video Transcript

Hi! I’m Candi Cane-Canncel on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we’re going to get started on making a fabulous tote bag with a matching make-up case. So the first thing you want to do is cut out your fabric, now I’m using felt because it’s a really inexpensive material it’s very durable and it has like a really fun finish to it and comes in great colors. So I already cut out my pieces, you’re going to need two side panels that are 18 inches wide by 14 inches tall. And the way we’re going to put this together is instead of having two separate side panels and a separate bottom panel we’re just going to use one continuous piece. So this piece is 46 inches long and it’s about 6 inches wide, so after you’ve cut out both the sides and the bottom and side piece you’re also going to have to cut out two handles because we’re going to be making handles out of the same fabric. And these handles are 3 ½ inches wide by about 25 inches long and this is going to make a fairly long handle, if you want something that’s shorter more like a hand bag handle then feel free to just cut the measurements down. To find out more info about this project feel free to go to my website at candiland.com.
