Reusable Facial Pads
These Reusable Facial Pads have been a hit when I vend at craft fairs. They make the perfect gift for any friend. I’m including 2 PDF printable tags. One is a 2” round label to fit on top of a mason jar lid - try using it with an Avery Label 22817. The other is rectangular and is the perfect topper when you tie the pads together (I like to tie a string through the center of each pad). With either option, these Reusable Facial Pads add a little touch of homemade to any spa gift basket.

Tip: I personally use these with makeup remover, toner, and facewash, and then wash them in the laundry. If you prefer, wash them together in a sock or lingerie bag so that they don't get lost in the load.
