DIY Nail Polish Rack!!



Hello :) so i usually keep my nail polishes in a cute hat box that i have but i had an empty wall next to my vanity and decided it would be a great way to cover up the bare wall and add more decor to the room! i have a BUNCH OF NAIL POLISHES!! its an addiction of mine along with jewelry, shoes, clothes, and purses :) so let's get into how to make it


What you need: 
         you can get supplies at Michaels  ( the best store ever )


  1. Wooden frames
  2. wood for the shelves
  3. wood glue 
  4. black paint ( you can use spray paint if you prefer)
  5. sponge paintbrushes 
  6. scrapbook paper for the back
  7. and a box cutter to cut the wood! 
  8. sandpaper 








steps: 

  1. paint the frames and wood for the selves

  2. Next cut the wood shelves to fit across the frames and glue them on

     


 put the small wood pieces to hold the nail polish from falling


glue the frames together and place them ontop of each other add something heavy on top to help it dry in place

                 3. once dry glue on the scrapbook paper on the back of the frame 


              4. NOW hang it up to show off!!!!

DIY heart photo collage

So these past few months have been crazy and I'm not really sure why i ended up not writing and continuing my blog! i've done so many mini projects here lately and i'll show you this one that i did recently!


So i decided my walls were pretty empty and needed something on them to make them not so plain and dull!! I developed a bunch of photos and put them into a heart shape on the floor and organized them how i liked them! after that i started putting tape on the backs of the photos and transferring them to my wall. I didn't draw any lines or anything to make sure it was straight i kinda just went for it so they are not PERFECT but you can't tell that they arn't lined up perfectly so I LOVE THIS! has all my best friends and some family in the pictures! i took the photo a lil crooked i promise it isn't like this on my wall its pretty even.



I even added a wall sticker above it to give a little more decoration to it. "Be your own kind of Beautiful" all in all i LOVE this and it really helps the plainness in my room!!

Thanks for reading and i have plenty more DIY and shopping finds to show you all so leave feedback for anything you'd like to maybe see me do!!

Re-purposed Jewelry Box

So I am so excited to start my own blog and this project is the perfect one to get it started off! I can't wait to show off all these fun simple projects I do with you all.


On this project I got a regular old jewelry box I've had for years and the glass door had broke on it so I decided I would fix it up instead of throw it out.

 Here's what the finished look looks like,


What you need for this is :
paint 
paint brushes
spray paint
cardboard
tape 
mod podge
sponge brush
scrapbook paper
scissors or box cutter
Here's some of the things i used...


  1. The first step would be to tape the parts you don't want to get paint on. Then spray paint the whole box.I let it dry for about an hour. 
  2. Next I cut out cardboard to fit the part where the glass use to be. I mod podged the front with the scrapbook paper and painted the other side black. 

       3.  After I painted the handle on the bottom black so it would blend in well 





It was so simple and fun now I have a cute jewelry holder instead of an old wooden one!!
