Handmade Brush Belt!!!

[Miss Pumpkin]

Here's what I've been doing today hehe, I did it with a fabric folder type thingy and a blue plastic-y apron.

It messed up a bit because I didn't calculate how much space the handles would take once inside the slots, but hey not bad for my first try, I can't wait to wear it for my shoot tomorrow!!

It has a big spacey department for other stuff too

[thelove4tequila]

I wish I could do something like that! I SUCK with the sewing machine. I need lessons...anyways nice belt!

 

[Magic Markers]

Looks like you bought it. Great job!

 

[ladynpink]

i like that!! very creative....

 

[happy*phantom]

That's amazing!

Awesome! I've been meaning to make one, but couldn't think what to start with - I would never have thought of a paper folder! Now I'll have to hit the nearest stationery/craft stores to see if they have fabric ones.

Wow, that's great! You could make a bunch in different fabrics and colors and sell them or something. Come to think of it, I should totally start sewing again, imagine making a brush roll in some really cool fabric (why something Pucci-ish comes to mind, I have no idea, LOL).

That's does look very proffesional, great job.
How long did it take to make, if I may ask?

that looks awesome! i've been thinking about making my own brush roll for the longest time.. now you might just have motivated me to do finally do it!

 

[Miss Pumpkin]

Thanks girls!!!

It took around 7 hours of work, not too bad... I think I should give it a go with some other fabrics, like some funky pink zebra or polka dots... maybe I can make some money!!!

 

[thelilprincess]

that's really cute!

i thought about making my own brush roll but not good at sewing. i knit, and this other board i frequent, the knitters also make their own rolls for knitting needles, so that's where i thought about making it for my makeup brushes, too. lol.

anyhow, Amy Butler makes cute fabrics (ans she designs patterns - i have one for a weekend bag....but um yeah, i only can sew straight lines)

again, that is a really cute pattern for a brush belt!!
