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.
