DIY: Make Up Brush Holder

Hi there! I'm totally back! Though my laptop keyboard is still broken, I will be writing blog posts again! I miss this so much. For my first post this November, I will be teaching you guys how to make your own brush holder that can be used for drying your make up brushes.

After washing your make up brushes, you must prevent the water from dripping down on your brush because it will loosen the glue holding the brush hair. Drying your brushes in a wrong position will definitely ruin it. But how will you dry your brushes in a right position (brush hair at the bottom) without ruining the shape of the brush?

This is why Sigma created Dry n' Shape. But it's so expensive! So why not make your own instead? It's just simple and cheap but you really a lot of effort for this. Do you want to know how I did mine? All you need are these things

Old binder, glossy folder, garter, cutter, scissors, needles and thread.
First, you must cut slits on your folder using a cutter.

Estimate the distance depending on the size of your brushes.
Next, you need to cut the garter into pieces depending again on the size of your brush handle. Make sure to make an allowance.

Insert the garters into their respective slits then sew both ends together.
Make sure to fit the brush handle first before sewing. It's okay to make it a little bit tight since you are using a garter.

Cut the excess garter.
After sewing all the garters, it will look like this.

Unlike Sigma's Dry and Shape, you will notice that this one will not cover the brush hair so the brushes will be air dried.
 

I used glossy folder so that the brush holder wont be ruined since wet brushes will be placed here.

Tada!

I hope this tutorial will help you preserve your brushes without spending too much.

Good luck girls!!

lots of love,
