.diy makeup organizer.

for a while now ive been wanting to spice up my makeup area... i was so bored with my simple white drawer organizer.. i was even considering buying a new makeup organizer all together but after a lot of research i found a fabulous diy tip from bdazzlecolors's youtube channel so i wanted to share it with you all.
its pretty simple and looks adorable (even my boyfriend likes it lol)
here it is



all i did was go to the dollar section at my local michaels craft store.
mainly you'll need to purchase the file folders(the folders are pretty thick and will hold alot better then regular paper) they also have different designs to choose frm.
i also purchased magnets, a pen, lil tins, and ribbon that matched my file folders.. &dey wer sooo cheap&fun!

once you get the materials you need
its really up to you on how to decorate ur area heres wut i did


here i used my magnets and i also cut out a strip on my file folder and placed it to line the end of my hair products bin.

i have my 2 bins which i store my bobby pins and safety pins and my lipstick holder i made with the file folders...&& of course my cute pen:)


im not going to lie making this thing wasnt easy but it was so worth it.
i used Enkores video on how to organize lipsticks/glosses video.


i lined the bottom of my brush holder with my file folder.. i also bought this vase awhile back at michaels for about 3bucks and vase filling for 6bucks.. (but i used a 40% off coupon on my vase filling )



i measured and cut out the file folders to line the inside of my makeup organizer and i made lil labels for each drawer and used index tabs to stick them on each side... i dont have good handwriting so i bought these stickers but this is optional


i had a lot of fun making this earring holder. you'll need a frame, (i got mine at kohls & used a $10off coupon so it was about 5bucks) ribbon, and fence wire(its probably best to get it in smaller squares so ur earrings dont fall through like mine.. i got mine at home depot for about 2bucks) all i did was i took out the glass frm the frame and and stapled the wire to the frame and the ribbon on each end... such a space saver! i love it!

so i hope you like it!! let me kno wut u think!!
