DIY RING HOLDER!!!

I was obsessed with making these! They are so cute, work, you recycle, and its pretty much free.
Things that you need to make a super pretty ring holder are:
  • Hot Glue(super important, can also use stuff like E6000, i think...)
  • Scissors
  • foam sheets you get from mailed stuff
  • a jewelry,chocolate, or any box( I evened used a match box )
You want to get the measurements of your box or just free hand it, and cut the foam sheets to length. Then, you roll on all the way so its about half an inch in diameter maybe? Use your hot glue and secure the rolls by gluing the edge down, then cut access.
Then make sure the length of the rolls are the same as the box. Cut if needed, then get your hot glue again and firmly and evenly glue the rolls in rows in your box. Next, when you have glued all rolls, you can decorate the outside of the box or just start putting the rings in right away.

 
 I hope you guys really like these DIY ring holders!

DIY Lipstick Holder

This is just a cute DIY lipstick holder I made and gave to my sister for Christmas :D
Everything I used was:
  • A hot glue gun
  • silk flower
  • construction paper
  • bottle Elmer's glue
  • scissors
  • card board(cereal box)
  • ruler and pencil
  • OH and lipsticks to measure( your biggest, tallest, shortest, and thinnest )
So I took my cereal box and cut all the way around so I had a five faced box because there was no top. Then with the rest of the cardboard, i made strips while measuring with a ruler, and marking with a pencil. Then you cut slits so they would go perpendicularly and make slots. I made surer it fit then just used my hot glue gun to glue in all the sides.
After you are done with this you can take paper and use decoupage glue, make a collage or just cover it with some color, add embellishments and you are done to organize your lipsticks in.
(You can also hold lip gloss, small brushes, etc...)
