How to make a cosmetic organizer

1. Prepare the Candlesticks

Begin by removing any labels or tags from your candlesticks.

On a second candlestick spread hot glue on one side.

Next, stick the two candlesticks together to create a column.

Repeat this step with two more candlesticks.


Balance a heavy object on top of each column while they dry.


Make sure to give the glue plenty of time to dry before moving on to the next step.

2. Paint the Columns

Once the glue is dry, it’s time to apply black acrylic craft paint to your candlestick columns.

Candlestick storage hack

Use a sponge paintbrush and make sure to coat each candlestick fully. This may require several layers of paint, so let the paint dry between coats for full coverage.

3. Attach the First Mirror

Once the candlestick columns are fully painted and dried, use E6000 glue and your hot glue gun to attach the bottom of a column to the center of one of the hexagon mirrors.

4. Stack the Second Mirror

Next, apply glue to the top of the candlestick column and center another mirror on top of it.

Creating a second tier for more storage space

Set the stack aside and allow it time to dry completely.

5. Complete the Top Tier

For the final tier, take your second candlestick column and attach it to the back of the third mirror by applying glue to the center.

Once dry, stack the third mirror on top of the other two to complete your tiered design.

Adding the final tier to your bathroom tier organizer for additional storage

After everything has dried, clean up any excess glue using an X-Acto knife and clean the mirrors with glass cleaner.
