Boo’s hair accessories and jewelery were stored in a huge jumbled mess until recently:
I took some thrift and discount store finds and used spray paint to create more organized storage! Boo picked the colors (I would have opted a more subtle color palette haha):
Here’s the beat up 99 cent mug holder I bought from the thrift store:
I spray painted the base white for the underneath color:
I used my Silhouette machine to cut “Sienna” out of shelf vinyl:
Next I spray painted the entire holder purple (over the stencil):
After the purple layer dried I carefully peeled off the vinyl letters:
The painted and personalized mug holder is perfect for necklaces, bracelets and headbands:
I’m always scouring discount stores clearance sections (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx) for cool items that I can redo. I found this 6 dollar shell holder in the clearance section that I thought would be a great accessory holder since it already had all the compartments built in:
I masked off the glass area and sprayed a base of white on the front just like I did for the mug holder:
I did the reverse stencil lettering the same way as the mug holder too using the Silhouette Machine only this one said “hair pretties”:
A perfect container for separating out all those hair ribbons, clip and bands:
Now all of Boo’s hair and jewelry are organized and easy to find and put away!
You can breathe a sigh of relief now….my tutorial on how to make a huge wine cork sculpture using just newspaper and wire hangers is finally here. I had to take it easy this weekend so Boo and I set up camp in front of the TV with the coffee table covered in corks and supplies. I let Boo pick the project and of course she chose the TALLEST of all land animals: a giraffe. A snail or bird would have been much easier to tackle!
I’ve been collecting wine corks from friends and family this year with this project in mind.
