Magnetic Cosmetic Board





This is a very simple project to do, all you need is magnets, hot glue (and glue gun), metal sheet, and of course makeup! The one I made is pictured above.

I found a decorative piece of metal at Hobby Lobby, they have a ton of different designs to choose from, but I chose one with a zebra print boarder around it and a silly little saying on it. You don't have to buy a decorative one, there is always the option of buying a piece of sheet metal at Home depot, but I thought this looked nicer. The
se can range anywhere from $6.99-$19.00. Mine was 50% off at the time so I got it for $4.50. (picture below)
Next you need magnets, I also found these magnets at Hobby Lobby, but you can find these anywhere (Michael's, Jo Ann Fabrics, Target, Walmart). Make sure that they are thin enough so you can cut through them, but strong enough to hold up your makeup. As you can see they aren't that expensive, I only paid $1.47 for these. (picture below)

After you have your supplies all you need to do is cut the magnets into squares whatever size you see fit, and glue them to the back of your cosmetic items. Make sure that you have enough magnets on them so they are strong enough to hold your item. (Picture below)
Finally, hang your decorative piece of metal and place your cosmetic items on it. This is a great way to keep your bathroom counters clutter free!
