DIY Makeup Palette from Wedding Invitation Card/Cardboard with/without magnet sheet

Here is another Do It Yourself by reuse/recycle other unused item such wedding card invitation especially with cardboard inside it. Don’t throw it! The cardboard inside are very useful :) You don't have to buy another cardboard.

For that I also made video how to do it, I speak with Bahasa Indonesia and add English subtitle. You can watching it in here :

What we need are :

1. Wedding card invitation or cardboard

2. Lem FOX - I used PVAc glue

3. Asturo sticker paper [Rp. 6000 – Rp.8000] / duct tape ~ selotip bermotif / wrapping paper [I recommended wrapping paper brand Eco greeting, price Rp. 5000,-]

4. Stick ice cream

5. Ruler, pencil, scissor, cutter

6. Magnet sheet 

7. Doubletape

8. Impraboard small size [Rp. 15.000,-]

Cardboard

1. Rip off the paper from the cardboard. If it's so hard, then let it be, as the paper will be cover with new paper.

2. You can cut the cardboard as the size as you want or keep it big or cut in to small size.

3. Measure 1 cm on side of each cardboard.

4. Cut that 1 cm from each cardboard.

5. Make sure that each cardboard has the same size.

Impraboard Frame

1. Copy the size of cardboard onto impraboard. The size of impraboard can be the same or smaller 0.5 cm than the cardboard size.

2. Cut impraboard to 2-4 pieces. Measure the high with eyeshadow pan. More high, more thick impraboard.

3. Cut inner part of impraboard. Leave 1 cm on each side.

4. The result will be look like photo frame.

Impraboard wrapping

1. Glue impraboard to the inner part of wrapping paper or you can use duct tape to wrap it.

2. Cut the inner part with X shape. As you can the result in the picture.

3. Cut the excess of paper and leave 1-2 cm.

4. Wrap the impraboard that look like photo frame neatly.

Wrapping Paper

1. On paper, measure 1 inch each side of it and then measure space between cardboard I with middle part is 0.5 cm and 0.5 cm between cardboard II and middle part. For sticker paper, give fold line to make it easier putting the cardboard.

2. Glue the carboard to paper/asturo sticker.

3. Wrap all the side of cardboard.

4. Cover the middle part with same paper or sticker. 

With/Without Magnet Sheet

1. Glue the 'frame' to cardboard. In this step, if you're not using magnet sheet, you can use doubletape or tack-it [look like bubble gum] to stick the eyeshadow to it.

2. If you're using magnet sheet then use doubletape to stick the magnet into the inside of makeup palette. Cut the magnet sheet as the same size of inner makeup palette. Don't forget to check which one is magneted and not.

happy D.I.Y,
