• Step 1

  Take the photo frame (I just bought a cheap one from Salvation Army) remove the glass and anything else inside. Trace the glass onto the the sheet metal,then you can dispose of the glass.

• Step 2

  Tin snips may be needed to trim the sheet metal. Some hardware stores will cut the exact size you need if you bring the frame in with you.

• Step 3

  Next take the wood spray paint and paint the wooden frame. At this time you can also use the plastic spray paint for the cups.

• Step 4

  While they are drying you can take the gift bag you chose and trace that around the glass or sheet metal. Other options besides using a gift bag are fabric, card stock paper, newspaper, or anything! I found an awesome bag at Walmart that went well with the paint that I already bought, and it had a super cute bow on it. I went into looking for a fabric though. The front of the bag was used for mine and the bag was used for another one.

  Step 5

  Next I brought out my makeup and super glued magnets to the backs.

• 

  Step 6

  The tubed makeup and brushes go into the cups. Once the cups are dry I placed 2 magnets on the back of those.

• 

  Step 7

  I super glued the gift bag to the sheet metal. When the frame dried i placed it all together. I originally wanted to keep the glass so I could use a dry erase marker on it, but the magnetic strength wasn't very strong.

• 

  Step 8

  After I was finished I added a little scrap booking flower to the middle of the bow on my board.

• 

  Step 9

  I then put all my makeup on the board and that's it. Enjoy!

Hi would you mind if I featured this on my site/tumblr? I will give you full credit? I plan on making this myself but can I use your pictures and instructions until I get around to making it?
