Want to make your own makeup brush holder? Then read on! This doesn't even have to be for makeup brushes you can put anything you like in it; I just think it's a nice way to brighten up your dressing table this summer!
What you're going to need:
- a jar
- old wrapping paper with a cute pattern
- scissors
- glue/sellotape
- ruler and pencil
- nail varnish
- anything else you'd like to decorate with like stickers, etc.
If you don't have any spare wrapping paper or nothing quite takes your fancy you can print off a pattern from the world wide web - sometimes it's actually good for something other than social networks! :)
Grab your jar first (check that your brushes will fit in it before you do anything else.) Then make sure its all cleaned out! We don't want any jam or anything on our brushes now do we! When your jar is all clean and dry measure how much paper you're going to need. I did this by fitting the paper into the jar and marking off with a pencil where to cut, then using a ruler draw a line to make sure its straight across.
When you have it all measured out, stick it on to the inside of the jar. I used sellotape which was quite difficult to get into the jar so glue would be a lot easier if you have it!
Then when the paper is stuck inside you can decorate the outside! I used coloured nail varnishes that matched the colours on the paper inside, pink, yellow and mint green, to paint around the top of the jar just to make it a bit more interesting :)
After the nail varnish has dried and you're happy with how it turned out you can run and grab your makeup brushes and pop them in there! Et voilá! :) I just think it's a nice change from putting them in a makeup bag or brush pouch and the brush holder is a nice ornament for summer!
If you guys try this I'd love to see how they turn out! Hope you enjoyed this little DIY, I'll definitely be doing more soon! Any suggestions are welcome, even if I fail it'll make a good blog post of how NOT to make something :)
Have an amazing day lovelies
