DIY Makeup Brush Holder

By Iskra BanovićApril 13th, 2019Updated:September 5th, 20222 Mins Read
makeup brush holder

While playing on Pinterest recently, I came across various DIY makeup brush holders and thought that they looked so stunning and chic. I have been using my Sugar & Vice cups as brush holders but wanted to instead use them for my morning cuppa. I decided to make this stunning DIY brush holder that has enough space to hold all my brushes and some of my liners.

What you will need:

  • 4 Tin cans (washed and the lid removed)
  • Piece of wood for the base (large enough for your tins) (bought from a hardware store)
  • Small screws
  • Primer
  • Spray paint in a color of choice

Method:

  • Remove the lids off the cans you have chosen to use. Make sure the tins are smooth and free from hard edges. I used a small hammer to do this.
  • Mark out where you want your tins to stand on the board. Then using small screws and a screwdriver attaches the tins to the board. (I had my dad around for help, so ask your dad or significant other for help if need)
  • Once tins are attached it is now time to prime the whole project. Use a white base primer as it will make your color pop. I used 2 coats of primer, leaving it to dry for about 20 minutes, before applying the next layer.
  • Once the primer is dry, you can start applying the color. Remember to keep the can about 15 cm away from the project. I used 3 layers of paint, again leaving the project for about 20 minutes before spraying it.
  • Leave the whole project to dry for about an hour, to make sure the paint is dry, then style as you desire.

P.S. This would also work brilliantly as a desk aid for your pens and markers. For kids, spray it in different colors.
