We have an idea for you today that will only take minutes to put together and will keep you organized in the bathroom or any small space! Grab some mason jars, or canning jars and get started on this fun project right now. You will have a makeup organizer in minutes and be ready to clean out that bathroom drawer!

How To Make DIY Make Up Organizer

Extra storage is essential in any space and this make up organizer is perfect for small bathrooms or storage spaces where you want them to look clean but still trendy!

You can put this DIY make up organizer in your medicine cabinet, inside your drawer organizers, or in any vertical space where the space is too small.

This is also suitable for organizing your hair tools like your hair dryer as well! If you like this idea, just get a bigger jar, follow the directions below, and you’re good to go!

Supplies Needed To Make DIY Make Up Organizer

• Mason jars (I love these smooth-sided ones I found at the Dollar Tree)
• Cricut (click here to see which one I love)
• Electronic file to cut
• Black vinyl
• Rice

Step 1: Download & Cut Design

Download the file to your computer and then upload it to Cricut Design Space. You can see how to do that here. Resize the designs to fit your jars, then cut them out in black vinyl.

Step 2: Weed Design

After the design has been cut, weed away the excess surrounding the images. I like to use weeding tools to make this easier, but they are not a must.

Step 3: Add Design To Jar

Use transfer paper or carefully lift off the vinyl and apply it to a clean glass jar. Press down well on all edges of the vinyl to make sure everything is adhered to the jar.

Repeat this step with your other two jars.

Step 4: Fill DIY Make Up Organizer With Rice

Fill the jars with rice almost to the necks. The rice will rise some once you add in your makeup. Your makeup organizer is now complete and just needs a few pieces of makeup and some brushes!

You can set this DIY make up organizer on your bathroom cabinet so your items are within easy reach and ready for you to use each day!

Don’t like the idea of using rice? Try some small white beads, cotton balls, or clear glass marbles. Either one would serve the same purpose and be equally as pretty! – However, rice is the more budget-friendly choice for this make up organizer.

I hope this bathroom organization idea will help you style your living area while making it look more cute and less cluttered!

FAQs About DIY Make Up Organizer

If you have questions about this DIY make up organizer, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below!

Do I Need To Clean My Jar Before I Start This Project?

Yes! I didn’t mention it in the tutorial, but you will want to wash and clean your jar before you add the vinyl. Also, I would clean the outside of the jar with rubbing alcohol because it will remove any extra ”dust” and it will give you a nice clean surface to add your vinyl on.

I’m Using A Jar With A Label. Do You Have Any Tips For Removing The Label?

If you are using jars from your kitchen (like pickle jars, jam jars, etc.) there are several ways that you can remove the original label.

For these types of jars, I would let them soak in warm soapy water then use a scraper to remove the label. This has worked for me, but if you are dealing with a stubborn label, below are a few more things you can do.

• Pour hot water into the jar, let it sit, and it will loosen up the label on the outside. 
• Create a mixture of dish soap and vinegar.
• Apply heat to the label using a hair dryer.

I’m Using A Jar With A Label. Do You Have Any Tips For Removing Sticky Residue?

To remove any sticky residue from the jars, I would use Goo Gone, along with soap and water. However, if you don’t like the smell of Goo Gone or need other options, below are a few ideas.

• Adhesive Removers (like 3M Adhesive Remover, Un-Du, etc.)
• White vinegar
• Nail Polish Remover

What Cricut Machine Can I Use For This Project?

All of them! The Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore series, Cricut Joy, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Venture, can all cut vinyl!

The only thing to keep in mind is that each Cricut machine is different in regard to project size capabilities and the materials it can cut. So, depending on what project you have in mind, you might need to resize the design or cut it out in a different material.

Do I Have To Use Black Vinyl?

No, you can use any color of vinyl that you like for this project!
