Magnet Makeup

As per usual I had a creative serge today and decided to make something that I have been thinking about for a while now. It is a magnetic board that now is a new and happy home for my makeup. I took just a couple supplies and less then ten steps to make this different and unique way to store your makeup. I love it because you can lean it up against the wall in your bathroom or bedroom (where mine will be at college due to limited counter space).

All you need is:
-One piece of scrapbook paper
-One frame
-Small magnets that will fit to your makeup
-Two sheets of metal paper (or one if you can find one big enough)
-A glue gun
-Your Makeup
-A small mirror (if you desire one)


First..Glue your piece of scrapbook paper to the metal sheet(s) with the white side of your paper down on to the metal sheets. After doing so, take clear packing tape and tape the edges of the paper, and metal sheets, to the piece of cardboard. This way the back or your frame will be is sturdy.



Next..place the cardboard face down on the back of the frame. That way when you flip your frame over, your paper will be face up.


Than take duct tape and tape down all four sides...


 ...as well as a large 'X' across the back to further reinforce your piece.


Than you are done with the initial frame and backing. If you want to add a small mirror to the scrapbook paper, all you need to do is put a small amount of hot glue onto the corners of the mirror and place it in the spot you desire. I decided to add some puffy paint to mine to make it match more.


All that is left is making your makeup into magnets. Here all you need to do is take the proper size magnets and hot glue them to the back of your makeup.


All that's left to do is put the makeup magnets onto the frame.


I absoultely loved making this and I think it's a great new way to display my makeup. Such a fun and easy project to do on a day that is full of time with nothing to do.
