DIY Perfume and Make-up Organizer


Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I am always so last minute with my gifts.  Every year my mom asks for perfume, and every I’m like you don’t need any more perfume.  Well this year I thought I’d change it up a little. I didn’t want to go buy another bottle of perfume to add to her ever growing collection. So I thought, how about  I make something to organize all the perfume she has on your dresser.  Here’s what I did.

Steps

  1. Cut the boards to size.
  2. The profile for the two side boards can be cut using a 12″ miter saw at a 45 degree angle or using a jigsaw.
  3. Mark out the placement of the middle shelf and divers on both the side boards before gluing or nailing anything.  This will help with lining everything up.   DIY Perfume and Makeup Organizer - Toolbox DivasDIY Perfume and Makeup Organizer - Toolbox Divas
