Magnet Makeup Board

     Okay, this is one of my favorite projects I've done!  I have a boyfriend who LOVES Home Depot, so I learned a lot doing this one. It was pretty cheap and not hard to do at all, you just need to get the right stuff.


What you will need:
Frame (on sale at Hobby Lobby)
Metal sheet (mine was $5 at Home Depot)
Gorilla Glue (or any other liquid nails works best)
Packet of round magnets (Home Depot)

For the brush vase:
Short glass vase (a Mason jar would be cute too!)
Small pebbles (pretty cheap at Hobby Lobby)

     After a couple tries (hot glue gun and punching nails through the metal) we found that liquid nails are the best route.  It takes a few hours for the glue to set, if you apply weight (we used cans of food), but it was a one-try success!  You can either use a hot glue gun or the Gorilla Glue to apply the magnets to the makeup, just make sure they will be strong enough to hold the makeup up.
