I have been into make up lately. A little late bloomer for it. So I had just begun my make up collection. First stop are the make up brushes. I had bought individual make up brushes at first and I just store them in multipurpose plastic boxes in their own packaging. It is a tasking thing to do since I have to remove all the brushes I need one by one.
While browsing the internet the high-end brushes like Sigma, have this wonderful brush holders that has a cover to protect the brushes from dusting and other stuff. Since it is pricey and not readily available in our place, I made my own. It is cost effective and it will save mother earth as well.
So here are the things you need:
- An empty plastic bottle (soda bottle, water bottle, etc.)
- Cutter, paper cutter and scissors
- Glue and glue gun
- Old empty carton box or old paper folders
- Any decorated or scrapbooking paper
Instructions
1. Cut the cleaned and dried bottle in half using a cutter and scissors to smoothen the edges.
2. Using the top of the bottle. Measure the length of the area on which you can cover it with paper. Do the same with the lower portion of the bottle. However, if the lower bottle portion has an unusual shape then follow the other steps.
3. Cut the paper and cover the upper and lower bottle using a glue gun. For the unusual bottoms cut a portion of the carton and smoothly paste the scrapbook paper on top of it.
4. After covering, cut the carton in a much higher length than the lower portion of the bottle, about 1 inch or measure the length of your brushes so you can get all of it easily. Then put it inside the lower portion following the circle shape of the bottle. For the unusual bottoms, use the covered carton and put it inside the bottle following the its circle shape. Fasten both using a glue gun.
5. Put your brushes inside and cover.
