DIY Cute and Easy Desk Organizers


Heyya! It's been a while since I've posted something here. Infact, the only time that you saw something on this blog in this month was a guest post by MissBeccaBeauty. I hope you liked it, if you missed it, you can read it here. I really like Becca's blog so it was nice letting her write something on mine too, I also made a guest post on her blog, you can read it here :) Okay, newsflash over, let's get cracking with the main theme of this post.

I have ALWAYS had the problem of not enough space in my room, so don't even get me started on my desk, it is pretty much always messy and you can find anything on top of that, from makeup brushes to chargers, plants small bags etc. etc.
So one beautiful day I decided that it has to end because I couln't even find my eyeshadow palette anymore. I have seen all kinds of cups and bowls and boxes in different stationery stores and usually they just look really plain and ugly or the prettier ones cost way too much. I have also seen some really beautiful ones on pinterest and then I thought that why not to make them myself. You seriousely don't have to buy anything, you probably have all the stuff laying around the house.
Now, let me show you wht I used, ofcourse you can use absolutely anthing that you think might look nice.

-hot glue gun or superglue
-plain or colourful paper, as you wish. (you'll be using it to label so you can really just use anything)
-different colours of markers and one black marker
-strings, lace, ribbons, feathers, pearls... what ever you want to use to decorate
-jars, glasses, bowls (preferably with no pattern on it)
-glass paint, and if you don't have glass paint then nailpolish works exactly the same, that's what I used too

as you can see, my colour theme was pink and yellow but again you can choose what ever theme you like, or just do it very colourful :)

So I'm not gonna tell you step by step how and what to do cause I believe you can see it yourself too, it's no rocket science. Just plan out what you want to do and where you want to put it. Measure, cut, glue, draw and paint - simple as that! And one more thing, some of the best nailpolish brands that I think look nice on glass are Wet 'n Wild, ANNY and Flormar. These are what I liked to use the most

 I have done quite a lot of these on my desk so I'm just gonna put some pictures here for you to maybe get some inspiration.
I hope you liked this post and found it helpful, let me know in the comments what do you think :)

  3. This looks great. I think the organza ribbons look fab and add the finishing touch. The glass for your hair accessories is my favourite!
