I made a makeup brush bag using cork on the exterior side plus the strap and vinyl for the interior side and pockets. Added a double layer of clear plastic to cover the brush part. Added an embroidery design to the front before assembling it. Didn't care for the velcro so changed it out for snaps in the navy blue color. Works much better. Of course I couldn't get the glued on velcro off completely but doesn't show when closed and it was my trial sample to try out cork fabric.
