STEPS
TOOLS
Gather some thick markers or pens (u won't need all these, but these are just some examples of what u can use)
Wrap about six of them in seran/plastic wrap
Put some white glue in a bowl
Add some water
Stir
This will create your paste
Get a sheet of tissue paper
Cut it into small rectangles or squares
Get another color of tissue paper (optional--- u can use all the same color if u want to)
Cut it up into small squares or rectangles
Dip the strips of paper into the paste
Apply them to the plastic wrap coated markers
Put on many layers (make sure u use a TON) until you have covered about two thirds of the marker thoroughly
This is what it should look like
Do this to all of them
Let them dry (this will take a few hours most likely--- I let mine dry overnight )
Pull them off of the marker once they are completely dry
Pull the seran wrap out of the hollow tissue paper tube
This is what you will have
Do this to all of them
Trim the edges of the tubes to look more precise (this is optional)
Trimmed
Get your clear cup (doesn't necessarily have to be clear)
Get the hot glue gun ready
Put some hot glue in a line all along one side of the tubes
Stick it to the cup
Add another
And another
And another
And Another
Add the last one and you are done with this part!! (You could do more tubes but I stuck with 6) also, make sure you space them evenly around the cup
This is the part that will hold your eyeliner
Add some gravel
Or some marbles (one dollar at the dollar store)
Or both
Or rocks (also one dollar at the dollar store)
I ended up doing rocks and gravel
Your mascara can go in the cup. This is sorta what it should look like
There are so many different things you can do to personalize this however you like!! I encourage you to be creative!!
Ta da!!! Now you have a cute container to hold your make up that's super cheap to make!!!
