Cleaning is stylish… how to organise your make up

How to clean up your make up area collection.

If you’re anything like me your bathroom tends to end up like this after a week or so of being lazy.

Ever mindful that this amount of messy-ness looks unclean and is probably unhygienic I set about to find a nice solution that was stylish and didn’t cost me anything. As usual I was aiming to follow Hime Gyaru/Lolita stylings.

Sorry for the lack of photos, I didn’t think I was going to make this into a tutorial while I was doing it! On to raiding my craft stash!

Materials: 1. Pretty paper 2. Old Boxes 3. Glue 4. Black lace 5. Ribbon bows

Instructions: I was fortunate enough to find some old boxes that looked like drawers so it was pretty easy. You can use whatever you have on hand or make them from scratch.

First I gathered my materials.

Then I used the pretty paper to cover the old boxes. I glued it on nice and securely and made sure the drawers still fit together.

Next I wrapped the lace around to decorate it and when I was happy with the finish I glued it in place.

I then added the bows.

Once everything was all dry I put all my make up into the pretty new boxes and TADAA!

So I guess that’s how to clean up your make up collection…

Lolita Artwork post…

A cutesy artwork break today.

Argh sometimes when I think about Lolita or Hime Gyaru this happens to me. I just want to hand over my purse and say “TAKE MY MONIES! JUST GIVE ME YOUR PRETTIES!”… Good idea right? I’m sure my budget disagrees but my brain wants to do this! Btw you can buy this on a shirt in my RedBubble Store… and fund spendings hahaha…

This was one of my first drawings using my graphics tablet. It was pretty much a study in different techniques but kind of cute huh?

Meh that’s enough cutesy artwork for now.

ACEO Friday!

Back on track with ACEO Friday now. Enjoy the bowling.

Now this is the kind of Rockabilly fashion I could really get into! Floofy skirts, Pettis, high hair. Makes me want to go bowling!
James where are you? Time to go bowling! As usual I get very bored writing these descriptions and just want to get back to drawing.
