The Mummy!!!

Can you count to 3? If so… you’ll be able to create this Mummy in a breeze! Step 1: Find a vase. I happened to have a dollar store vase: Step 2: Wrap gauze roller bandage or cheese cloth around the vase. You can use hot glue to make sure it stays put.. or just wrap it tightly (that’s what I did): Step 3: Your Mummy needs eyes. You can hot glue eyes or insert them in between the gauze. Voilà: You can use your Mummy as a vase.. or a candle holder :)

Where do you store your makeup?? I’m not quite sure I can say I store mine.. I basically use an old makeup bag and a plastic basket and throw everything in. When it’s makeup time… I have to dump everything on the counter to find what I’m looking for.. it’s quite awful to see. I was walking through the dollar store with my sister, when I came across the perfect storage baskets for my makeup. Look what I did with them: I absolutely LOVE IT!! I just have to grab the basket I need.. or the entire tray… all my [...]
