If you know me, you know that I'm
obsessed with glitter. And mason jars. And makeup. So what better way to
combine all three than to create a makeup brush holder! I love DIY projects and
even more when they can be used as functional tools in my life. Follow these
simple instructions to get beautiful, glittery mason jars!
What You'll Need:
2 Mason Jars
1 Can of Elmer's Aerosol Glue
Glitter
Rubbing Alcohol
Cotton Pads
Paper Towels or Newspaper
Optional Stuff:
2 Bags of Marbles
Makeup Brushes
Where to Buy:
Mason Jars: Walmart, Publix,
Michael's, Hobby Lobby
Glue: Walmart or any craft store
Glitter: Walmart or any craft
store
Rubbing Alcohol: Any drugstore
Cotton Pads: Any drugstore
Paper Towels: Your kitchen...
Marbles: Any craft store
Do It Yourself:
1. Prep your mason jars by
cleaning them with the rubbing alcohol. Having a clean surface will ensure that
the glue and glitter stick to the inside of the jar.
2. Once your mason jars are
cleaned and dry, carefully spray the inside of the jars with enough glue to
coat the entire inside. I "swooshed" the jars around to make sure
that no part of the jar was missed.
3. Dump your glitter, in the
color of your choosing, into the jar and begin turning the jar so that the
glitter covers the entire inside surface of the jar.
4. Once you've double checked the
jar to make sure that there are no spots missing glitter, dump the remaining
glitter onto the paper towels or newspaper. Discard the extra glitter.
5. Let the jar dry for at least
2-3 hours before adding anything inside. I've decided to add marbles to the jar
to make makeup brush holders. I filled the jar about half way in one jar and
3/4 of the way in the other to accommodate for my smaller travel brushes. You
could always add flowers or seasonal/holiday decorations.
