made a brush holder

hmmm..Just when I was thinking I needed something that would hold more brushes, and still be compact. I Likey! Now to find my sewing machine!

Love It!!! Love It!!! Love It!!! Thank You for sharing... )

Thanks for sharing..My little boys decided that they wanted to make personalized Tshirts for their teddies,,so I will have my sewing machine out tomorrow..what superb timing for this post..Thank Nancy!

I made a similar thing and didn't even think about posting it up here, being a 'newy' and all!

I love the idea of making it out of a towel so that you can just throw it in the wash.

I made mine out of a "wipe-able" plastic/material...I haven't put my dirty brushes in it though . . . now that I think about it I could of course! I could also put an extra piece of material or towel in between the dirty brushes and the holder to avoid the fabric from staining. I will try that this weekend.

I would post a picture of mine but have no idea how to do that!

hope this works...[img]http://www.facepaintforum.com/ . . . I'm a bit over the top and write which brush goes it which holder . . .a bit much I know![/img]

Nice Aussie3070..

Wow, you girls should market these! Really I can't sew and would totally buy one from you guys!

I also made something like this about 2 years ago from an old towel..I keep all my brushes in it..

Fantastic! Going upstairs to craft room right now to make one!! I remember my mother making one of these for my school crayons (1976 LOL!!)

you know i missed the posts from april 28 completely! missed the picture of that beautiful brushholder you made aussie. it's great, so colourful. thanks for bringing the thread back up funfrogotherwise i would not have known!

I will definitely be breaking out my Singer sewing machine shortly.

Awesome idea! Shame I can't sew for toffee...

Quick question about the brush holder that was made here.. Do the tips get bent because of the softness of the towel, when they are wet or being toted from one place to another....

You fold it over ABOVE the tips of the brushes, then when you roll it up it stays so, no, the brushes do not get bent or otherwise damaged.

I've used a fabric brush roll (my mom made for me!) for 15 years for my make-up brushes and not a single problem.

HOWEVER you should NOT be putting dirty/used, or wet brushes back in the roll!

When on a make-up job I just roll up my used brushes in a towel to wash at home. Once rolled up they are well protected.

Thanks again Shannon....My mom sews great and I have lots of fabric hanging around when I tried to learn.
