All Things Crafty: Craft a Week- Week 9

A week ago my sister gave me a vintage makeup vanity. Let me tell you, I absolutely adore having a vanity! I love being able to sit down and put on my makeup and fix my hair. With dry time, flat iron, and applying makeup, it takes up a good 40 to 45 minutes; that's just too much standing. Haha! Now that I have a vanity, I don't need to keep my makeup in one of those makeup bags. My craft this week is makeup organization and decorating the vanity. I wanted to make a brush holder and a flower arrangement.

This is how I started the flower arrangement. I got a floral vase and lace by the yard from Hobby Lobby. I used Modge Podge and applied it directly to the lace over the vase.

After it dried, I added a satin ribbon around the middle and embellished it with a pearl and rhinestone brooch. I made a hydrangea bouquet to put in the vase.

Next I took the smaller vases I bought and added the same satin ribbon and a black flower.

I added my eye brushes in one vase, and my face brushes in another.

Next came the makeup organization part. This is my everyday makeup. I also have a whole basket full of more shadows and powders. I went through all the stuff I never wore and threw it away.
