I think it’s safe to assume that most of us would love to be able to tuck vanity necessities—such as makeup brushes, tubes of lip gloss, and mascara—in a drawer where they can’t be seen, yet there’s often not enough room to hide everything away. In those cases, we have to get creative with the way we display these overflow items. In order to keep your bathroom sink area looking trim and organized, I’m sharing a simple tutorial for DIY Beaded Brush Holders that come complete with printable labels, too! Get the DIY details and linked shopping list below. Be sure to download the Free Makeup Label Printable here!
Download the Free Makeup Label Printable here! Print our free labels template onto 8 1/2″ x 11″ White Cardstock. Use scissors to cut along the outlines of the tags, and punch out the marked holes with a hole punch. Click the “download template” button under the materials list to get the free printable.
Cut individual lengths of Neutral Cording from the spool using scissors. Note that the lengths of the cording will vary depending on the containers you choose to use, but longer is better since you can always trim them down to size when you’re finished. Slip the cut cording through the holes in the labels, and then set them aside until Step 6.
Remove the lid from your large Jar, and pour in 5 bags of Small Round Wood Beads to fill the vessel almost to the top.
Remove the rim and lid from the first Pint Ball Mason Jar, and dump 4 bags of white Pearl Beads into the container to nearly fill it.
Again, just as before, remove the rim and lid from another Mason Jar, and pour in the 8 bags of multi-colored St. Patrick’s Glitter Round Beads to fill the final container.
Wrap each of the corded labels that you set aside in Step 2 around the rims of your bead-filled jars. Tie into a bow, and wiggle the label until it comes around to the front of the jar for easy viewing. Trim the cording, if needed, with scissors.
Finish by pushing your favorite makeup brushes and tubes down into the beads according to the jar’s label. If you’d like, you can even keep the jar lids on hand to avoid dust collection or to use the labeled jars while on the go!
