Cool Compacts

I'm cleaning up my makeup kit and who knew that makeup

makes for wonderful blah to TADA! projects?!

Yesterday, I made weathered compact cases new again.

Today, I've got a few more ideas.

Let's begin with this eye shadow palette {missing a lid}.

I turned the eye shadow into paint the other day,

now let's see what we can do with the case.

Eye shadow's gone, case is cleaned &

ready for a makeover.

TADA! Turn it into a mini picture frame!

Resize the photos & print them on paper.

Cut & glue onto the little compartments.

Attach a ribbon and display!

Now here's an idea for a compact case

that has a mirror:

Detach the part with the mirror {a little force gets it done}

from the part that holds the makeup.

Dress it up with some scrap fabric.

Sew a pouch & leave one side open.

Turn pouch inside-out & insert the mirror.

Cut a square to reveal the mirror.

Tuck in the loose edges and secure

to the mirror with hot glue.

Close the open end of the pouch

with more hot glue.

TADA! A dressed-up pocket mirror!

It's an essential in every woman's purse!

Now that my makeup kit is clean, I think

it's time to shop for a new set!

Have a happy weekend &

Happy Father's Day to all you

dads out there!
