If you are anything like my daughter and I you have a never-ending need for the newest makeup brushes. In addition to that, there seems to be some irrational emotion bond toward brushes you’ve had “since the beginning” but no longer use. We can’t be the only ones?! 🤔😆 As the collection grows keeping them organized gets harder and harder – that where is quick and easy DIY comes into play!
Supplies
To make this DIY Makeup Brush Organizer you will need:
- Plastic/Glass Bowl – I used the plastic one
- Rocks/Glass Pebbles – I used the rocks, but think the glass pebbles might be more user-friendly
- Fake Greenery/Succulents
- Blue Tape
- Paint – I used some leftover Rust-Oleum spray paint, but you could also use Nail Polish (that would make the project even faster!)
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the stones off – I used my kitchen strainer. Stones are very dusty, by rinsing them off and drying them completely you can remove this white residue for the most part.
To dry the stones I spread them thinly on a bath towel. I began by patting them dry and then allowed them to air dry.
Step 2
Next, you need to tape off the top rim of the bowl by carefully applying blue tape just under the lip.
Do the same on the inside edge.
Next, you need to protect the bowl from over-spray. I cut up the plastic bag and taped it in place.
Repeating the same step on the inside of the bowl.
Step 3
Next, it is time to paint the edge of the bowl. As I said, I utilized some leftover spray paint but this would definitely work with some metallic fingernail polish. Carefully apply a thin coat of paint on the top edge of the bowl.
Allow the bowl to dry completely.
Step 4
Carefully remove the blue tape/plastic and then fill with the clean rocks. Insert your fake greenery/succulent and then press your make up brushes in handle down.
Voila! A beautiful way to display/organize your makeup brushes!
How do you keep your brushes organized? I’d love to hear more!
