wednesday project

I found this WONDERFUL tutorial this weekend, and have been dying the make it and use it all week.  Its called a 'Make-up Magnetic Board.'  I found it on a cute blog, which you can find here, http://laurathoughts81.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-up-magnet-board.html

I loved it so much I wanted desperately to make one of my own.  Very proactive for me, usually I just dream about making things...  So the first thing I needed was a frame, and a piece of metal for inside the picture frame.  Upon reading that Laura had to go out and buy the metal sheet I thought oh man I cant make this thing... Then I remembered that a few years ago my aunt made me a magnet board with a picture glued to the
front.  It was the epiphany of all epiphanies.  So I took the picture off (that had been painted on regular paper) and attached by fabric with adhesive. The paper was a bit hard to get off, so I scraped it with some type of exacto knife.  Went outside, did some spraying, let it dry, and voila it was ready and oh so perfect.  I bought a great color for my room. 

And I wanted to make this so badly so that I would have a way to keep my makeup organized.  Well I thought I had way more makeup than this... But I realized some of it would not be attachable to the board, so I lost a good chunk of the makeup that I originally thought may have gone up there. 


Even if I dont have a lot of makeup, it was an excellent way to spend my day!
