Step 1. Prepare Your Materials
For this rack, you will need:

-Ruler/straight edge
-46 small nails
-A bottle of clear Tacky Glue
-Fabric or fun paper or, a tape with a design/pattern (Optional )
Step 2. Mark the Back of the Rack
Using your ruler, draw a line across the first foam board every five inches. This will serve as the back of your nail polish shelf. You should have five lines drawn afterwards
Step 3. Make the Sides
On the second foam board, mark two lines that measure 2.5 inches vertically. These will serve as the sides of your new rack.
Step 4. Make the Sides and Front
For the next step, take the third foam board then draw six lines measuring 2 inches apart. This will now be the shelves of your rack. After which, draw another six lines an inch apart. These will be the front part of your rack so the polishes do not fall out from where they are standing
Step 5. Cut! Cut! Cut!
Cut out the lines using your cutter. You can now glue the fabric or the tape onto the small six strips you have cut.
Step 6. Glue the Shelves
After doing so, you can glue the medium sized strips next onto the marks you drew on the first foam board.
Step 7. Put Nails for Support
Attach five nails at the back of the rack along each row. This is to add additional sturdiness to your rack.
Step 8. Attach the Sides and The Front
Attach the front (six small strips) and the sides of the polish rack in the same manner: glue, then put nails. This time, you can only have one nail on each side for the fronts of the rack and the sides.
Step 9. Let it Dry
Let your new nail polish rack dry for an hour.
Step 10. Finished Product!
After ensuring that your nail rack has finished drying, you can now organize your nail polishes on your new rack. You can also add other personals besides your beautiful nail polishes!
