Creating your own lipstick holder is not only a savvy way to save, but also an eco-friendly choice that breathes new life into otherwise discarded materials. Begin by cutting the cardboard to the desired size, then use wrapping paper or fabric to give it a chic look. Finally, add divisions with more cardboard, ensuring each slot is snug enough to hold a lipstick in place. This custom organizer will not only keep your favorite shades at hand but also display your flair for creative recycling.
