Nail Polish Storage

This summer I have gone from 4 nail polishes
to somewhere close to 20, and I don't 
think its going to stop. 
My medicine cabinet was getting too overcrowded
and those nail polishes kept falling out. 
I looked online for nail polish storage ideas, but
they where too space consuming.

I went to Joann's last week and they 
where having a sale on storage items. 
SCORE!
I bought one of those "snap 'n stack" with
the idea that my nail polishes would
fit perfectly...
WRONG.
They fit, but they fit laying down. 


At first I didn't care if they were lying down, 
but then I realized why you shouldn't lay them down...
THEY LEAK.

So, off to Joann's I went again and got the biggest "snap 'n stack"
 they had...the ribbon dispenser.

And it was PERFECT!

Here's my first sewing tutorial, so please bare with me.
I wanted to do something fun and yet simple. So, if you're a beginner 
sewer this is perfect for you.
I tried to make the tutorial as simple as possible with sufficient pictures and fewer words.
(that may be due to the fact that I'm more of a visual learner)
