Makeup Drawer Organizer


Recently a friend said she was making a drawer organizer for her makeup. 
She found an idea on Pinterest:  





What a great idea!!!

My drawer is pretty small....I long for the larger drawer I had in our old house!  


So I followed the directions from the video above:
1. Measure the drawer.  Make sure to measure the bottom and the sides accounting for the size of the foam.  Decide where you want the dividers to be and measure for that too.
2. Cut pieces out of foam board following your measurements. I got foam at the Dollar Tree. Make sure the foam fits right before moving on!
3. Cut fabric for all of your pieces. I used a cotton for the bottom and a duck cloth for the tops. Got those at Hobby Lobby, my favorite store!
4. Put the fabric on with adhesive spray. Also got the spray at Hobby Lobby.  This part was NOT fun! I got adhesive spray all over my fingers, ugh!
5. Once all the fabric is on, begin placing in your drawer. If all fits like it should, glue the sides and the bottom together with a glue gun. 
6. Glue the inside dividers in with glue gun. 
7. Once all is dry, you are ready to load up!


Here is my finished drawer:






I love it!
