In my efforts to downsize prior to moving into an RV... I wanted to do so in an environmentally friendly way.
I have 4 boxes addressed to different people with things I have been meaning to send and other things I think they would like.
I made a doggie bed out of clothes I don't wear, stuffed it full of shredded clothes and the stuffing from a pillow I cut up. (I feel like I have too many pillow I don't need, that are also very old...). I'm very happy she's got 3 dogs. This will help me a lot. The filling contains a lot of old clothes from my childhood that felt kind of therapeutic to cut up. It also ensured that I didn't try to retrieve them. It helps me know that my old clothes won't end up in a landfill if I happen to donate it and they don't take it.
I was looking up things to do with old jeans yesterday.
Today, I was thinking that I need a pencil case like this for my makeup brushes and eyeliners, etc:

But the problem with this is that it's a fixed size and ideally I'd want one to fit my whole make up arsenal.
So here's my idea of the day, make my own pencil/makeup holder with a pair of old jeans and the elastic I have in one of my drawers. (If you do not own elastic, I've noticed from the doggie bed, is that there's elastic in a handful of pants).
Because seriously who's going to sit there and count the number of slots they may potentially need?
Obviously, I can spent 0 time and about 5-10 bucks to buy something that is not 100% what I'm looking for/need, or I can make something that is tailored for my own personal needs.
I always wanted a holder that is organized in the order I do my makeup, brushes I use first, then the pencils, brow, eye, lip. In that order... brilliant...
I'm going to leave this post "undone" will add some pictures later.
