Pinterest Strikes Again: Magnetic Makeup Board

Okay, so my sister Kristen forwarded me a pin from Pinterest recently.  The idea was ingenious and I had to made my own.  Here's is the inspiration pic.

I actually had a bunch of magnets I had bought awhile ago for another project, so I made a trip to Hobby Lobby for a frame (50% off sale) and fabric (30% off sale).  Then I made a confused walk through Home Depot to find a piece of metal for the magnetic piece of the project. I also already had a trusty hot glue gun with plenty of glue sticks.

Then, I just removed the glass, glued the metal sheet to the cardboard frame back and covered it with the fabric I chose.  I secured everything with just hot glue.
Then I just pulled all my eye shadows out of my drawer and glued magnets to the backs of them.  Okay, I didn't do this to some of my higher end stuff yet, but we'll see.  It looks great!  I'm already thinking of doing another one with just blushes.
