Tuesday Night Activity - DIY Nail Polish Rack for under $5 After watching several videos on YouTube last night, I got super inspired to turn my mess of a collection into this pretty awesome rack - and it’s super inexpensive!! I personally needed just the boards (3) and duct tape (2). Lucky for me I found all of them at the dollar store half a block from my house. My cost: $0.99 x 5 = $4.95 + tax.  I was a little apprehensive when I first saw a tutorial for it on YouTube. But this little bugger is sturdy as heck! I’m definitely NOT a crafty person, so I’m pleased with how this came out.    [Stores approximately 90 polishes, ~15 each shelf]Tools you need:3 - 20” x 30” foam boardGlue gun and glue sticksRulerExacto knife or any kind of bladeDuct tape (of your choice, if desired) How to: Draw lines across Board #1 5-inches apart (total of 5 lines) - this will be where you glue the shelves onto Create seven 2” x 20” strips withBoard #2 - makes shelves Create seven 1” x 20” strips with Board #2 - makes shelf ends Create two 2.5” x 30” strips with Board #3 - makes sides Optional wrap desired strips with duct tape (videos I watched only wrapped the shelf ends.
