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.

Step 1
Lay the two scarves on top of one another on a flat surface, with the printed sides facing out.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Tie adjacent corners together so that handles are formed.
Step 4
Enjoy your cute, original new bag! If you like small purses, you could even use it for that! Or use some big scarves and make a big purse!

So simple and so awesome looking! (I did someting similar for my purse for prom- folded a scarf and tied it w/ a ribbon)
The scarves you choose have such wonderful patterns too, it really turned out lovely. Thanks for the tutorial!
