Hi, I am Brett from Silvergirl. I’m sharing an extremely easy DIY make-up brush holder to keep your make-up brushes organized and easy to reach.
My make-up brushes were just thrown into different drawers and I could never find the one that I needed. With this practical (and pretty!) container, your brushes will be at your fingertips in the blink of an eye.
Doesn’t this make you want to put on some make-up, just so you can use those brushes?
To get started, I went to Micheal’s with my handy 40% off coupon and bought a glass vase. I chose a tall one for my particular space, but any shape will do.
Next, I bought some glass stones to put into my container. I used stones instead of sand because some make-up brushes are double ended and I didn’t want to get sand on the brushes. I chose blue for my space, but again… you can choose whatever you like.
I just poured the stones into the container. I used about 3 bags of stones for my particular container. (If you save up your Micheal’s coupons each week, after a month you will have a very inexpensive project)
Then I inserted my brushes into the stones. The stones keep the brushes in an upright position and easy to grab at all times.
Voila! The finished product in my bathroom.
I hope this helps you not only to get organized, but also to use those make-up brushes a lot more in the future. Come visit me at Silvergirl and thanks for having me Stephanie!

Great idea, the dollar tree also has stones (both glass and natural) if you didn’t want to have to save up coupons. Also the natural ones are pretty depending on the look of your room.
I have fewer brushes so I made mine out of black river rocks and a large square candle holder that I picked up at the dollar store, it made this a 2 dollar project, (maybe three I had purchases the rocks previously and put them in my crafting center, it might have taken two bags worth.)
Hey Stephanie…
I ran across this idea the other day and thought it was a great idea. 95% of the projects I do are with glitter and I always need a place to keep the small artist paintbrushes while I am working and as a place to dry once I have cleaned them. I put a twist on your idea and used the beanbag pellets used to weigh down stuffed animals. Not nearly as decorative but worked for what I needed. Thanks for a great idea! And great blog…your glitter projects are topnotch!
Such a good idea! And it’s so pretty too. :)
This is such a simple and cute idea! My makeup brushes are always getting mixed up wtih all of my makeup and it’s such a disaster!
That is adorable! So simple & such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
