DIY- Vintage Compact Fill
You'll need: vintage compact with metal basin, jewelry cleaner, knife/ spatula, alcohol, paper towels, heat gun, your favorite cream product (lip/ cheek color or cream concealer).
A great place to find compacts is at vintage or antique store- or an estate sale. Soon I'll have them up for grabs on my website! Stay tuned for the store opening!
Disassemble the compact.
Scrape out any remaining powder
Now to make the outside sparkle and shine...
grab your jewelry cleaner from 1996...
Start Scrubbin'... then rinse with water and let dry.
Now for the inside basin pan... wipe with alcohol until completely clean and let dry.
Grab your favorite lip color or cream concealer.
Shave it into the pan...
grab your gun...
Put a paper towel under the pan and the shaved cream makeup-
and let her rip...
melty...
meltier...
almost meltiest...
now let it cool off...
find your pieces to assemble the compact...
ooooo.... ahhhhh!!!!
Now get a little box and some ribbon pretties...
Tulle is always a good idea!
Voila!
I hope you have fun with this!!! It's such a great gift! Especially for the makeup obsessed!
