Simple Shoe Box DIY

Simple Shoe Box DIY

So, to basically, instead of revising, I decided I'd have a little spring clean. First of all I clean my wardrobe out, then I washed my dirty make-up brushes and sorted out some old make-up, hair accessories and some nail varnish.

All you need for this simple Shoe Box DIY is..

1. A few shoe boxes (depending on how much stuff you got)
2. Stickers (if you wish to decorate your boxes, I just left them plain)
3. Felt tips (same as above)
4. Of course ALL of your essentials you want to put away in one pile!

I got two shoe boxes, one Nike one and one Adidas. My Nike shoe box was bigger than my Adidas one, so I used my Nike shoe box for all of my unused Make-Up and old Make-Up.

This is a very simple way and cheap and of course environmental friendly way of storing your old make-up and make-up you have not used yet. I literally just dumped all of my unused and un-touched make up in the box.

Next, I sorted out all my nail polish.

I used my Adidas shoe box for my nail polish because I eventually threw a lot out when I was sorting my nail polish out. Some of these nail polish, I have not even used/touched before. Well of course I have touched them, like when I bought them but 'touch' as in used them.

 

I firstly, sorted them out by brand but then I realized, I had to dig through that massive pile and find every brand that is the same, so I gave up. BUT, I put all of my Barry M nail polish in a row as you can see above including the nail art stuff by Barry M.

I don't even know why I have put Nail Polish Remover Pads in the box, I think they are all dried up anyways, to be quite honest they ain't even that good but I did get them from Home Bargains. They were possibly around 38p? But whatevs. They ain't that good. It's only 38p down the drain.

Eventually once I cleaned up my nail polish, it looked like this! 

The next thing I cleaned up/put together were all my hair accessories and rings.

You obviously wouldn't know this, but all my hair accessories are placed into different boxes and placed in different places in the room, so I thought putting all my hair accessories in one place was a very good idea. I used a Vans shoe box for all my hair accessories and then inside the Vans shoe box, I had other cute little boxes, which helps me keep everything organised.

I kept my bobby pins and hair grips in two separate boxes. Use girls know the bobby pins, hair bobbles and hair grip logic. No matter how many of each we have, we will always lose them! Maybe if we organised them, we won't lose them anymore? I'm not sure. I hope this works though!

So yeah, I basically put all my bobby pins in the mickey mouse box and then just some normal hair grips in the other box/tin/container thing.

 

I sometimes also LOVE to use hair elastics (snags) to tie my ponytail as I think it holds all of my hair better. I sometimes use little hair snags for like two ponytails or something too. But I also have thicker elastic snags which I got from Boots. And in this tin, I have placed all my thicker elastic snags because I have already got like a little pocket zipper bag for the thinner snags, which you can get from Claires which there are like 100 of them?

So yeah.

Next, I put this hair bobbles into a little Tiffany & Co box. (NOPE, I haven't got anything from Tiffany & Co, because I still can't afford anything from there, but my cousin were throwing this boxes out and I thought these cute little boxes would be really  handy for little things, so I asked her if I could have them!)

I don't know what these bobbles are called but I really like these bobbles as when you tie up with these you won't get the little crease but with not bobbles you would. So yesh. I got these bobbles from Topshop, I'm not sure if you can get these anymore, but I think you'd probably be able to get these fro Claires or something.

After I cleaned up my bows and placed them in this cute Mickey Mouse Magical Party box which I had off my friend from Primary School when she went to Disney. This little box used to be like Disney Note Paper, pencil, ruler and rubber, but of course I have used those and they are gone so I kept the box as it was a really cute box. And now I place all my hair bows and hair clips. I got the hair clips from New Look, but I got the bows from various places!

After that I clean up my rings, I'm not usually a ring wearer, so I don't really have much rings, but if I do wear rings I wear midi-rings and I have placed all my midi rings in this cute monkey cupcake container.

And yeah, this is how I placed everything out in the box. I have my little boxes placed at the bottle of the box then I placed all my scrunchies, bandannas, bigger hair clips and hair doughnuts on top! :) 

A Vans shoe box is pretty small, but you don't realize how much you can fit into them! :)
