Is your bathroom counter always cluttered with random makeup brushes, eyeliner, and mascara? Mine looks like a tornado went through every morning. No joke. Whenever I go back home for the weekend my siblings yell at me for “destroying” the bathroom counter. Whatevs, at least I admit it, right?
So when I found this ice ‘tube’ tray at Goodwill I knew I wanted to use it for some type of organizer. I get a little weirded out about using food stuff from Goodwill, so I wasn’t about to use this as an actual ice cube tray.
A few labels later my makeup holder was done!. It turned out perfectly and was just what I needed!
Plus, I included the link to the printables so you can make this for yourself.
What you need:
Ice ‘Tube’ Tray (found at Walmart or online here.)
Printable
Old Colored Pencils
Tape
Simply tape the labels on the pencils and stick in the ice tray!
Fill with your makeup and you’re done! A super easy way to organize and keep your makeup off the bathroom counter.
Enjoy! And I’d love to see pics if anyone decides to make this for themselves!
Did you make this?
Tag me on Instagram @designeatrepeat or leave a comment below to let me know how it turned out! I love seeing what you’ve made.

Oh man, this blog post is over 10 years old so I’m not sure they sell these anymore but I will google and email you if I can find it! 😅

Okay it does look like the company stopped making them, dangit! I wonder, though, if you could do the same thing with a test tube tray. Find one you like & has larger enough holes and it might even end up looking better than the old ice cube tray! https://amzn.to/3W9an5X

This is such a cute idea!! I wish I had more counter space, but I might try it anyway ;) My make up bag is a mess and this would really help keep em clean and neat! Love it!

I’m pretty obsessed with this idea. I will definitely be giving this a try — love it! I’m going to be giving my bedroom a total makeover this winter, so I have already started looking for great ideas like this. Keep ’em coming! Excellent post, girly. :)

This is the most original makeup storage idea I’ve seen! And the printables make it SO cute! I just might have to do this. Even though I have makeup storage in my bedroom, there is ALWAYS a random lipgloss (or two or five) on my bathroom counter.
