Eye Makeup Organizer Using Cardboard and Decoupage

Are you one of those women who have lots of eye makeups and don't know how to organize it? I created an organizer for my aunt where she can put all her eyeliners inside. My materials? A box, decoupage medium, colored paper and some nice cutouts for decorations.

I tried to cut the colored paper first but I don't like the result so I just covered the box fully

Tape the  bottom part

Glue the excess paper on the top

Decoupage your cutouts

And let it dry.  Here's the finished product

Quiet Building Blocks

Where we live is a very quiet place - yeah, you can hear the crickets and birds chirping. And so, I don't like the unnecessary noise that is made by son when he throws his toys. Ugh, he's an energetic two year old and is in the process of discipline. :)

Anyway, I thought of buying him building blocks but I didn't because I thought he will throw it if he becomes bored. So, I bought him sponges as building blocks and he loves it. Even if he throws it, it's still quiet so mission accomplished!

Here's my baby boy playing with his sponge blocks.

Decoupage Door With Newspaper

I was in my aunt's house and I really really love to decorate it. It's big but they don't have the time to decorate it. Did I tell you only girls lived in her house? And getting a carpenter to have something done would take months because we live in a small town and carpenters are only few. So, I dug some inspirations in pinterest and with few old newspaper at hand, I decoupaged her closet door (without her permission!) Good news though, she liked it and she wants me to paint her bedroom too. I would really love to do that in the next project!

Alright, here's the tools I used. I used a decoupage medium with 1/2 Elmer's Glue and 1/2 Water, some newspapers and a paintbrush. I consumed 1 glass jar for each closet door which includes 2 coats for finishing.

Here's how it looks like before:

Yeah, it's old and dull. You can say what you want, of course. Now, here's how it looks like after I've done the decoupaging.

It looks better and my eyes won't get sore looking at the old paint :)
