Makeup Bag Blues















This is the result of a makeup bag I got dirty but couldn't bear to throw away (hoarder!) So... I ripped the lining out which was the dirty part, took the zipper off, and was left with the outer fabric (which looks like a gabled roof) so I just kinda threw that on top of my head and secured with a bobby pin or two. I like the result- I think it ended up looking like a cross between a cloche and a juliet cap. I was loving the blues so of course had to have blue lips to match!

Oh, here's the bag if your wondering:






















I added a flower clip here for another variation.
Hope this amuses you as much as it did me! :)

  2. Brilliant, so completely creative and gorgeous. Most creative use of a make-up bag I do believe I've ever seen.


    Thank you sweetly for your wonderfully nice comment on my 1940s outfit today, dear Jenn, I really appreciate it and hope you have a stellar weekend!

    1. Thanks for commenting! I had fun playing around with something that seemed destined for the trash bin!

  3. Nice! That's actually pretty clever, do you have a pattern for what you did there?

    Also like the blue lipstick. I wore a bit of that when I was a teen.

    1. No pattern. I literally just came up with the idea when I started cutting out the lining and deconstructing it. I just fit to my head how I liked and bobby pinned!
