DIY Makeup Tower

So like most girls I have this little habit that is called "I buy more makeup than I need" and because of this my bathroom counter was always covered in powders, potions, pots of colour and pencils all the colours of the rainbow. Finally something had to be done. It was getting out of hand. I started looking at these awesome three tiered towers online that sites were selling to store all my stuff! But the price tags? No thank you. 30 dollars? 40 dollars? Yeah, nope! So I decided I would try to make my own for a fraction of the cost! Here is what I came up with.

Yup, there it is. Piled all with all my stuff. How did I make it? Easy!

Go to your local store that sells those terra cotta bottoms for planters and get the 3 different sizes! Plus I picked up a pack of little tiny pots to serve as the spaced between the tiers. 

Next pick out the colours that you want for all your levels! They can be all the same or all different depending on what you prefer. I always use paints the I buy at Michael's or Walmart for about .88 cents to 1.25 each and they work perfect!

(Not sure why gold is this picture, but I used white instead.)

I chose to paint my tiers red, black and silver and to make the tiny pots in between white. The next part in simple. PAINT! I did about 3 coats on each, letting them drive in between each coat so that I got a rich colour and none of the terra cotta colour showed through.

Final part? Glue gun! Everyone loves a glue gun. I started with the bottom (and largest) tier and put the hot glue on the bottom of the little white pot and stuck that bad boy on, I had traced and made sure everything was center before hand. Did that for the next two tier as well and waited for the glue to dry.

 And the Viola! A freshly made makeup tower that I made for about 12 dollars!

It's been in my bathroom for about a month and so far it is working swimmingly.
