Hello Everyone!
If you haven't figured out by now that I love easy DIYs, then now you know. I saw a YouTube video yesterday of this DIY. I actually had no intensions of dong it but yesterday afternoon I finished cleaning my brushes and I just so happened to remember watching that video. I checked to see if I had the stuff on hand, and in fact, I did! I was pretty excited that I didn't need to go but anything and then figured I'd make my own tutorial. So, here it is! I hope you like it and try it out for yourself. It works wonderfully! Now... if I could just think of a way to make them stand or hang upside down, it'd be perfect!
Supplies Needed:
- Elastic
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Makeup brushes (duh!)
First, start by cutting the elastic into pieces. I cut mine in 1", 1 1/2", and 2" pieces. These seemed to fit all the brushes I wanted to use these for. |
Next, fold over one small edge and put a line of hot glue. |
And that's it! Easy enough, right? |
It literally only took a few minutes to make all of these. It's super easy! Let me know what you think or if you'll give this a try. :)
Such a great idea! I wonder if the elastic comes in other cute colors...
ReplyDeleteOf course! This is just what I had on hand. You can get elastic in any color you can think of. I'd love to make some pink ones! :)
DeleteSuch a good idea and money saver!!
ReplyDeleteRight!? Thank you! :)
DeleteI was actually thinking of getting a dry n shape thing from Sigma but buying elastics is way cheaper. Very clever and creative! Will give this a try :D

Yeah, I'd definitely give this a try before I dropped $32 on a Dry N Shape. Let me know if you try it out!
