Make-up roll

Make a pretty and practical gift as a treat

for yourself or a friend! By Kate Smith

F

or those who don’t like rooting
around in their handbag for
their lippy or blusher brush, this
make-up roll (from Kate Smith’s
Makery book) is the ideal solution! Or
use it as a pouch to store paintbrushes
or pens and pencils if you’re not the
make-up type. Try using oilcloth for
the fabric lining to keep it clean.
