Made from old cardboard boxes.
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.
Now you can easily see all your shades.
