This is really easy to do. You will need.
Jam jars, various sizes, as in size of the opening
A bag of cheap marbles, or if you have teenagers, ask if you can have the old ones.
A few old bits of ribbon, or any decorative braid.
Old buttons or a few sequins.
All you do is...
Add the marbles to the jar, about half way up, I find works.
Attach ribbon around the top of the jam jar with PVA glue or craft glue, and add another round the middle of the jar too.
Wait for it to dry, and then pop in your cosmetic brushes.
They look nice grouped on a dressing table. The small marbles are best for this.
Instead of ribbon, you can add lace to your jam jars for a real touch of femininity, and add pearly buttons to the jars too.
Works great with eye shadow brushes, lip liners, and those thinner blusher brushes too. No more mucky brushes at the bottom of the make up bag, just don't forget to wash them every few days.
Happy making..
*Add sequins or old buttons to make a pattern, or use a few odd sequins, any thing you have is fine, even old broken jewelery, to make it look pretty.
I have also used those Christmas angel confetti bits glued on, looks pretty too.
