D.I.Y.: Brush Organization

He-loooow!

Every time I watch a D.I.Y. brush holder video on YouTube, I always hear the store "Michael's". Every time I watch those, I always think, "I wish we had a Michael's here." 'Cause those bead fillers are very hard to find here.

I don't think I've seen them anywhere actually. So, this idea popped into my head and I tried it out and I actually like it!

It's a lot easier to make and the materials are probably things you already have or ones that are easy to find here.

Here are the materials that you will be needing.

♥ A square-ish pen holder

♥ Tape

♥ Thread (a bit on the thick side)

♥ Scissors

♥ Cotton (not in the picture)

STEP 1:

♥ Cut the thread into shorter pieces.

♥ The length should be able to go across the mouth of the pen holder.

*Before proceeding to Step 2, lay down a thin layer of cotton on the bottom of the pen holder to prevent the tips of your brushes to slip.

(See Step 4)

STEP 2:

♥ Tape one side of the thread on one side of the pen holder.

♥ Tape the other end of the thread to the other side of the pen holder.

STEP 3:

♥ Leave a bigger space on either side to accommodate fatter brushes.

♥ Otherwise, make the spacing similar to the photo above.

STEP 4:

♥ So the same on the other two sides to form a criss cross pattern.

STEP 5:

♥ Run an extra layer of tape around the pen holder.

♥ Position the tape so that it's slightly lower than the first batch of tape you placed.

FINAL PRODUCT!

Hope you guys found this useful!!

If you decide to try this out, make sure to blog about it and post a link below. I'd love to see how yours turn out.

Thank you sooo much for reading! :)

Oh and a few months ago, I did makeup for a fashion show and I kinda forgot all the brushes and I used a lip brush for the eyes and it was just a mess.

Look what I decide to do.

Yes, I labeled them. Don't laugh!

I just thought that it should make things more organized and convenient especially in hectic atmospheres such as that of fashion shows.

I'm used to doing photo shoots where it's a lot more calm and you're working at your own pace. But this was a good experience and I'm looking forward to more! :)

Hope you like!

D.I.Y.: Necklace Organizer

He-low!

I mentioned in my "Organization: Bangles, Watches or Bracelets" post that I will show you how I organize my necklaces. I know that that was a long time ago, but I kept putting this off 'cause I was to lazy to actually get the things together.

Finally, I did it and here it is!

First, I will show you how I organize my long-chained necklaces. It's really a no-brainer. I just stuck hooks on the back of my closet doors.

A tip that I could give you, that I regret not thinking of earlier, is to spray paint the hooks first so, it'd match your color scheme better. I might still find a way to make these hooks black but for now, they remain a boring white.

The next is probably the more exciting and out there bit. It is my short necklace organizer.

So, what I did is I put a collage on a cork board and I used fat pins for my necklaces to hang off of. I got the inspiration for this when I was watching room tours on YouTube and I saw that a lot of other girls do this with a plain cork board. As you probably know by now, I cannot handle anything that's plain. That's why I jazzed it up with a collage.

That was the part that I kept putting off. I literally just finished doing the collage before writing this post. It took me less than five minutes and virtually nothing to make this organizer. (My friend gave me the cork board as well as the pins.)

So, there you go! I hope you guys enjoy this post and if you decide to do this as well, link it in the comments below so I can see your rendition of this.

D.I.Y.: Dangle Earrings Organization

Hello!

So, this is another one of my organization tips but this one's a D.I.Y.

Way way way back, I had a bunch of dangly earrings and I stored them in a box. I got tired of getting them tangled with each other so I devised a plan to organize them in an aesthetically pleasing way.
