DIY Nail Polish Rack

Finally finished my DIY Nail Polish rack to make room for all of my Zoya polishes. I think I'm going to need another one! :-)

Thanks fellow you-tuber for the inspiration.

Materials used:

3 black foam boards
Paper cutter
Hot glue gun
Printed duct tape
8.5 by 11 sheets of zebra print paper

Directions:

1 foam board will be the backboard
Cut the 2nd board into even horizontal strips for the shelves
Glue them to the backboard
Cut the 3rd board vertically the same size as the shelves and glue them to the side
Next cut the same number of smaller horizontal strips that will be decorated with duct tape-this will stop the polishes from falling off
Glue all around the edges to secure the shelves
Lastly, I printed the same design on printer paper and slipped them in the shelf spaces.
I hope this helps!

  1. Hi, I have a question for you - I ran across this post on pinterest and I have to ask - has it held up?? I built a similar design a few months ago with the exact same materials and the weight of the polish was too much - it collapsed in on itself! I am trying to find a sturdy solution to house all my polishes!

    1. Check out this DIY tutorial. Most of them do fall apart bc of the weight... if you make a couple of these but smaller, it'd hold up... if not I suggest doing this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZfcvEJKDdo

  2. Hi there, so far so good. It's still holding on strong. Try reinforcing it with gorilla glue. That stuff is tough! :-)
