I decided to dust off the old glue gun and make a make-up board! I have wanted to make one of these since I saw one on Pinterest. I found this AMAZING blog
<a href="http://laurathoughts81.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-up-magnet-board.html">http://laurathoughts81.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-up-magnet-board.html</a> and decided to make one of my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u2ed8U6wQZk/T0HBvBIvMFI/AAAAAAAAABY/Q_o-TNjlZ2I/s1600/blog+056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u2ed8U6wQZk/T0HBvBIvMFI/AAAAAAAAABY/Q_o-TNjlZ2I/s320/blog+056.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I went to Michael's Craft Store and bought a new picture frame, you can buy a used one- but I didn't want to have to sand down and paint an old frame. I got this frame for $4.00 using a 50% off coupon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I went to Lowes and purchased this piece of metal, it was $9.50. I have plenty of left over metal for 3-4 more make-up boards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the metal down, using tin snips, and placed it in the frame. I used the insert from the picture frame to measure it. </div>

I purchased these magnets at Hobby Lobby $4.19 for 50 magnets. (I used a 40% off coupon).</div>

Then gather your make-up collection. This is my super random collection, don't judge :)</div>

Take a magnet and dab a bit of hot glue on it then slap it on the back of your make-up container... like so...</div>

Now, I used an old can... but you can use pretty much any type of holder for your eyeliner, tweezers, brushes, eye lash curlers, etc.</div>

This blog is intended to get you to pull out those machines, pans, crafts, yarn, fabric, stamps, stickers, patterned paper, etc. that are probably taking up way too much space in your house!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me, I don't have a craft room...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">yet...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Embarrassing enough as it is, this is what my craft area looks like:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scary, I know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To top it all off, this is what I see every time I go into my kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Interestingly enough, I purposely put my stuff there. Before it was out in the garage, where I never saw it and therefore forgot about how amazingly crafty I am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know what happened? I ended up collecting more and more crafty things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a crafting hoarder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am working on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They should have classes for people like me, and make TV shows were I star as the crazy craft lady. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Which lead me to believe, I am surely not the only one out there. There has to be crazy craft people like me who own unopened craft supplies, and who have millions of craft ideas they want to try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SO... if you are looking for an excuse to pull out your old craft supplies and make something fun, you are in the right place!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Join me in taking out all our projects/ideas/and supplies that are <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">collecting dust</span></span>.... And let's do something about it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Feel free to suggest project ideas! Email me or leave a comment.</span><br />
