I have something pretty cool to share with you all. Yesterday, I built my own nail polish rack. I'm a big fan of DIY projects, and when I came across this one, I knew I had to try it!
I used:
3 20"x30" black on black foam board
Zebra Duct tape
Hot glue
Exacto knife
It was insanely easy to assemble. And even though I'm not great with an exacto knife, it turned out great even with my wonky cut lines!
Here's where I learned how to make this awesomeness:
There are a ton of videos out there teaching you this exact same thing, so if you are confused about anything in this video, don't give up! Go search for another video!!
So far this rack holds my entire stash (it is more full than my photos...I have some polish on my table..) but I think I need to make another one soon!
I bought my foam board at a local school supplies store; Copelins. It cost a little over $16.00 for all three boards. I had purchased my zebra tape months and months ago, knowing I would use it some day. I think I got it at Hobby Lobby, but I don't remember the price. I know Wal-mart carries patterned duct tape.
This rack is surprisingly sturdy! And I will be mounting it onto my wall in my craft room as soon as I can figure out how to do that without a husband...lol.
I hope I have inspired you all to do something creative!
Until next time....

This is so great! I don't have a polish rack. The sunlight splits nail polishes and ruins them so all of mine would be ruined. I keep them in a dark wardrobe instead and it does the job for now :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that sunlight did that to polishes! I live in a duplex, so I don't have many windows, so I don't really worry about the sun too much. I wish I had a little shelved closet to put a billion polishes into! ;)
DeleteIt's so pretty! I like DIY projects too:)
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you! You should try making one!
DeleteLooks fabulous! I made of these too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm checking out your blog to see if you have posts on yours!!!
Delete*Aaaaaaaaaaaaa* when i laid my eyes on this nail polish rack i swear i heard angels sing!! It's soooo great. My polish is currently in a vintage suit case. Not ideal, but i love the sound of the bottles clinkling together as i search for a color :) great rack (haahaah) & great diy project!! I'm so happy for you =)
ReplyDeleteA vintage suitcase sounds awesome to me!!! This was way fun to make. I wish you lived closer so we could make a bunch of stuff together!
DeleteOhh, this is the one you mentioned- I'm glad you did a blog post about it. Looks interesting! I'll definitely bookmark this for future reference. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the zebra style! I could only think of such a rack for my favourite polishes maybe, no space for the whole stash for sure! I store mine in an Ikea Helmer and right now I have 5 and a half drawers full. *screams*
