DIY Fridays will be on Mondays

I'm moving DIY Fridays to Monday only for 4 weeks starting this week. Due to the fact that I am in Vegas training for work every Thursday through Saturday, so it will be hard for me to do any DIYs until I come home. Sorry guys for the inconvenience come back on Mondays though. :)

Rock on DIYers ♡

DIY Earring Holder

Lately my earrings have been all over the place in my room, bathroom, my moms house, and yes even in my pant pockets that went through the washer. I'm almost certain I've lost a pair or two already, and that was the end of it.

Most of the things you will need you can already find laying around your house. :)

• Picture Frame
• Burlap
• Letter Stencils (I used font Sinbad)
• Bows (these are optional)
• Acrylic Paints
• Hot Glue Gun
• Paint brush and a Sponge brush
• Scissors

 

Step 1: Paint the picture frame to whatever color of your liking. I picked bright magenta for my frame. If you do like your frame color skip to step 2. This DIY is really quick, easy, and you don't really have to spend a lot if any money at all. The materials I already had laying around my house, as for the stencils I did buy at Wal-Mart and they were about $2.00. 

 

Step 3: Cut and size the burlap to your liking (I cut two of the same size you can use one if you want). What I did with mine was I put the picture frame over the burlap and eyed the measurements on how small I wanted it to fit. After cutting the burlap place the stencil over the burlap begin painting. With the paint brush go over any spots you missed and connect the lines.

 

Step 4: Now you're going to want to center the burlap to the picture frame just so you can get an idea on where you want it to be. With the first burlap (the one with the letter you just painted on) glue the burlap in the inside of the picture frame where the glass and picture sits. If you do have flaps standing up after just glue those down or cut them. With the second burlap you're going to want to glue it on the outside/on top of the back of the picture frame. 

For finishing touches I added a bow that I purchased on clearance for $2.50 at Wal-Mart. If you do decide to decorate the picture frame make sure to make it your own it doesn't have to be the same bow as mine. Be Creative. I hope you guys liked my DIY for today check out the finishing picture down below.

Be sure to be back on Friday I have a very special DIY. ;)

DIY Nail Polish Rack

It's another day of DIY Friday's and yes I know I'm late. I'm sorry Halloween got the best of me, so with that being said I will try to blog all week to make up for being late. :)

I've always wanted to make a nail polish rack since I first saw it on Pinterest and I've finally had the courage to make one.

What You Will Need:

• Ruler
• Duct Tape (This is optional)
• Hot Glue Gun
• 3 Foam Boards
• X-acto knife
• Scissors

Step 1:  The first board you are going to mark will be the back of the nail polish rack. Mark/Draw a horizontal line every 5" inches along the board. Set this board aside and grab another board.





Step 2: The second board you're going to mark, draw, and cut SEVEN 2"inch horizontal lines/strips. (These will be your shelves). Put the strips aside and begin with the third board. (see step 3).

Step 3: The third board you're going to mark, draw, and cut TWO 2 1/2 vertical lines/strips. (These will be the sides or your rack). ***Note keep in mind these need to be the same length as the back of the rack (first foam board) NOT the same size of the second board.




 


Step 4: Now with the same board you used to cut your seven  2"inch strips, you're going to mark, draw, and cut SEVEN 1"inch horizontal lines/strips. (These will be prevent your nail polish from sliding off the shelves.)



 



Step 5: With the seven 1"inch strips you're going to want to duct tape these. You're probably going to leave about an inch to half an inch room at the ends. Just enough to fold over the ends. Make sure to smooth out any air-bubbles if any.

 

Step 6: Set the duct tape strips aside and begin with the 2"inch strips. Hot glue the seven 2"inch strips to the 5"inch lines you drew on the first foam board. I ran a line of glue on the bottom of the shelves just to ensure that it's stable and to seal off anything that wasn't. Now to make the sides of the nail polish rack, take the TWO 2 1/2"inch strips and glue them to the side of your rack. 
 

 

 Step 7: Take your SEVEN 1"inch strips you duct taped and glue them to your shelves to keep your nail polish from sliding out. Now this last part is optional, I duct taped the sides of the nail polish rack so it doesn't look plain. I think if I had the pink and black zebra print duct tape I would have just left the sides black.

And the finishing product is below, I really hope you guys enjoyed this DIY and once again I do apologize for being late. I suck... I know just kidding.
