Another Pinterest project realized! The idea was first pinned for my niece Alana, but then Sasha and I decided we wanted to make ourselves one too.
Once we got our ideas worked out, these were pretty easy to make. I had most of the materials except the steal sheets and magnets. Those we purchased at ACE. There were lots of options for steel sizes, thicknesses and even decoration but in the end, the best option (price, size and ease of framing) was from the hobby section. It's steal plates used for metal crafting.
Trust me when I say it's best to find a frame that fits your steal vs. trying to cut the steal your self. That or call ahead to your ACE and make sure they'll cut a custom size for you.
From there, the sky's the limit. You can:
Paint the steal and/or frame
Modge Podge pretty scrap book paper onto the steal and or frame
Cover the steal or frame with fabric
Add flowers, stickers or other embellishments
Next, lay out your makeup to make sure it all fits, then hot glue the magnets to the back.
We covered old pill bottles with our fabric/paper of choice and used that for our brushes. Also, I had. Few sheets of plastic canvas on hand so we painted that to match and used it to help organize our earing collections.
We all loved the final product and had a great time putting them together. I love the diversity too!
