Haven't we all wished for that drop-dead gorgeous vanity? (Ladies, that question was for you!). This ribbon-tie vanity basket was gifted by me to my darling mum who was more than thrilled to have it. It sits now on her vanity and practically rules the place (read:the dressing table). It organizes her perfumes, makeup and lotions and reminds her that she has a "kinda" sweet daughter!

Here's a beautiful vintage+mod closet organizer for those dainty scarves,purses and accessories or even those grab n' go ones!
Make as many panels of these as you'd like and whip up some cute lil' extra for your closet doors without the extra bucks!
You'll need :
-Bottle caps equal to the number of knobs you’d like to have
on your organizer
-A pair of scissors and a craft knife
-Pretty Scrapbook paper/Giftwrap paper cut to circles
approximately sized to the bottle caps
-Heavy-duty (double-sided) mounting tape
-Washi tape or paint
-A couple of pencils
-A ruler
-Cutting mat
-Glue gun/Super glue (not pictured)
-Wood (I used balsa wood; it’s incredibly lightweight and
adds a lovely woody texture). You can also use MDF, foam board or heavy
cardboard.
Instructions:
1.Begin by cutting out the circles to go over the
caps' surfaces. Next, if you don’t like the color of your caps; either paint
them to co-ordinate with the circles’ patterns or simply use washi tape (like I
did) along the rim.
2. Next glue on the circles to each of the
(painted) caps, add washi tape and keep aside. Use your wood to measure the
width of your closet door.
3 Pencil in the size for reference and begin
cutting the exact size that will fit in your door panel
4.Now, place the caps aligned and at equal
distances onto the wood. When you are happy with the arrangement, hot glue ‘em
down.
5.You don’t have to worry about your jewelry
bungee jumping off the knobs because I promise you hot glue is gonna do the job
tough!
6.Use the mounting tape on the bare side of the
wood and secure the wood to your door panel.
7.Hang on your fav accessories, reach out for them
when you need to pretty up, stay organized and have a fun color blast in your
closet!
