Do It Yourself: Makeup Brush Holders ♥


Hey Everyone!
If you’re like me you have a lot of makeup brushes but have no idea where to put them! I have seen some good quality makeup brush holders for sale at places like Sephora or at websites like http://www.shopglitzyglam.com/index.php/brush-holders/make-up-brush-holders.html, but the thing is I just can’t afford to buy like 10 of them, so I decided to made my own customized makeup brush holder. This is a fun, cheap and a cute way to organize and store your makeup brushes. Each brush holder can range in price of just $4 to $15, depending on what you choose to decorate them with.

Customized brush holders are a great home made and thoughtful present for any girl. They can also be used for different purposes, instead of holding makeup brushes you can use them to hold decorative fake flowers or even your miscellaneous pens.


All you need is a glass vase, acrylic vase filler beads, and decorations.
  1. If you want you can first wash and dry your vase and filler beads, just to be extra sanitary (make sure everything is COMPLETELY dry). 
  2. Next take decorations and put them on the outside of the vase using clear glue. Adding a vinyl letter and polka dots can look really good (you don't need to add glue to the back of the vinyl, it sticks on to glass). The best decorations for this project are ones that had adhesive already on them.
