It’s True!
Lindsey and Twyla From
Two Crazy Crafters Are HERE doing a guest DIY post!!! :D
These Two Ladies are and inspiration to ALL us Vintage Lovers!
They create Not Only Beautiful Crafts BUT also Share their Gorgeous Vintage IMAGES for All of US to use in our own personal work!!!
I’m giddy with excitement with the Adorable Craft they came up with for all you Lovely FPTFY readers!
Here is what You will need to get started:
glue
scissors
empty makeup compact
pretty scrapbook paper
printed vintage valentine
adhesive pearls and mini flowers
little chocolates – I used M&M’s
First clean up an old makeup compact, If it’s not the color you want, you can paint your compact first.
Now, cut pretty scrapbook paper to cover the top of your compact. You can layer several decorative strips of paper to add more dimension.
Print and cut vintage valentine.
click Here to DL original size!
Take a small paper doily or another piece of scrapbook paper and cut a small square. Adhere the valentine to the square and adhere to the scrapbook paper.
Adhere to the top of the compact.
On the inside of the compact, cut more scrapbook paper to cover mirror. Add a cute vintage label or the type of candy you are giving. Add adhesive pearls along the top and a small flower in the corner.
Cut scrapbook paper to fit into the compact’s makeup sections.
Fill sections with small candies or chocolates.
Now…
am I the ONLY ONE kicking myself in the BUTT for getting rid all my Mom’s Old empty Mary Kay COMPACTS!!!aahhh!!
This is what I get for trying Not to be a pack rat.
A clean house BUT not one single Mary Kay compact in sight to be able to recreate this awesome little craft.. ::sniffles::
Now you know to Save Save Save! hehe :)

This is so creative and I have to admit I still have one of these! Love this unique and creative idea!
This is so adorable… a fantastic idea too! I think it is genius! Now, I'm just brain storming to think whether or not I have any of those old Mary Kay Compacts stashed away someplace…gonna kick myself if I don't…seeing how one of my grandma's sells Mary Kay :) Thanks for sharing the tutorial! Congrats Two Crazy Crafter girls for being featured here…
Big Hugs,

Hi Karen,
Thanks so much for the lovely work on my blog. I love it. i am sharing this new blog with my sister Patty. I know she would love to blog but is a little intimidated by it. Love the project you shared with us today.
Love and hugs,
Carey and Patty

I am so glad you liked our creation. When Lindsey said she would like to alter a makeup compact, I who never throw anything away, knew I had just the thing! I often see these at garage sales. Thank you so much for the honor of being featured on your blog. Twyla and Lindsey
