DIY Glitter Makeup Brush Holders

Add a flash of sparkle to your morning makeup routine with these fabulous glitter brush holders that are affordable, customizable and very easy to make.


Materials:

-Adhesive spray -I have used both Elmer's Adhesive spray and a Krylon one and they both work well.

-A medium height mason jar -remember you want it to be wide enough to hold quite a few brushes but also tall enough to keep them from falling over.

-Craft glitter -I love the Martha Stewart Collection ones!

-Newspaper to protect the area

Optional: An acrylic spray paint to seal the glitter in, preventing glitter fallout.


Directions:


1. Cover work area with newspaper (it is advised to do this outside due to the adhesive spray you will be using).
2. Make sure the inside of the mason jars are clean and dry.
3. Spray an thin, even coating of adhesive spray inside the jar. You want enough adhesive to really pack the glitter but not too much otherwise it will just run down the inside of the jar.
4. Quickly pour the glitter into the jar and tilt the jar around to achieve an even coating. Pour out excess glitter and place upside down to dry. Most likely, there will be a white look from the glue but it will dry clear.

(optional) 5. Once the glue is completely dry, spray the acrylic sealant to the inside of the jar to lock the glitter into place. Let dry for 1-2 days.


And that is it!! Super cute glittery DIY makeup brush holders that you can customize to match the decor of your room! :)
