Store Your Custom Facial Toner in a Vintage Jar With Reusable Cotton Pads

This is a really fast little project which can brighten up your boudoir, save you some money, be green, and give you the freedom to mix your own beauty toner from a custom recipe (not included in this instructable).

Compare to a store-bought product like the First-Aid Beauty (FAB) Facial Radiance Pads, or to be a little more pedestrian, Stridex.

Be sure that the lid seals airtight!

This is an old Avon cold cream jar I found on eBay.

I'm using a few pieces from a jelly roll (strips of fabric 2.5 inches wide, sold for quilting) of Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms.

I'm tracing around the lid of a smaller jar with an HB (semi-soft) pencil and cutting out the circles with pinking shears.

Pour in your favorite brand bottled toner or make you own from witch hazel, salicylic acid, etc.

Save the dirty pads in a place where they can air dry.  (This is an origami box I made out of an old Kliban Cats calendar.)  Later on, machine wash and dry them in a lingerie bag, and place them back in the jar with more toner.

As the pads get laundered, I expect them to soften and hold a little more toner.  Until then, I can use two at a time to get a little more padding if I need it.

This is a really efficient way to store and use your expensive toner!  No waste.

Please leave a comment!  Unless to say it's lame!  I know it's pretty simple, but maybe somebody out there will like it.

Thanks!
