DIY.....Sort of

Here are a few things I have done over the past year that I thought I would share with you.  They are not really a DIY because I didn't make any of these, I just used other things lying around and put them to use for other things.  I repurposed them I guess :)

Magazine Rack

Our neighbor gave us this brand new CD rack when she moved, because she was going to throw it away and we can't have that can we?  Our CD's had a home already and our DVDs didn't fit, so it sat there as a decor piece for months.  Then (my boyfriend gets the credit here) I came out and all my magazines were individually displayed in each slot.  Perfect!!

Makeup Brush Holder

I had this pretty blue planter hanging around for my still life pictures that I take.  Well, I had my brushes in another container, but some of the brushes have shorter handles than the others, so they were getting lost in the mix.  It was hard to find the brush I needed.  So this is what I did:

I also had some round glass beads that you can find in the planting area of a craft or hobby store.  So just put the glass beads inside the planter and arrange your brushes so the shorter ones are to the outside where you can see them.  Easy peasy!

Earring Hanger/Display

I bought this from Target on clearance for about $2.98 awhile ago.  It is a toothbrush holder actually.  But after awhile the toothbrushes kept slipping out, so I bought something else for them.  So I racked my brain on what I could use this for because it is so unique and pretty.  It just came to me one day...hang some of my earrings off of it and put it on my dresser not only for storage, but for decor.

Of course it holds more earrings than this, I just took some off for taking the photo.

Well, that's it for my "DIY sort of" for the day!  Hope you can use some of these ideas!  Have a great Wednesday!
