i made one of these a while ago using Colorfill, but it was really gritty & started to scratch my brushes. it also left a sandy residue all over them. so today i was snooping in the craft section at walmart & found 1 lb of bean bag filler for under $5 (i think i paid around $10 for the same amount of Colorfill - CDN prices by the way). the bean bag filler has rounder, smoother edges than the Colorfill & isn't anywhere near as gritty. i'd definitely recommend getting it instead of the vase filler.

Bean bag filler is what I use too! Since posting my pic, I've made another! I got the smaller container from Office depot. It has a diagonal divider down the middle which is cool for separating my larger brushes from the smaller ones...like ones for liner and stuff.
Here's my update:

Is this softer than the floral filler? I think the floral filler is scratching my brushes. Has any of you notice that??

Beanbag filler
thats an awesome idea. The vase filler (@ Michaels) is pretty expensive in Canada

I had a hard time finding the floral fillers but I substituted it with bean bag fillers. It seems to work pretty well but it was a bit plain for me so I decided to do a lil decorating with my favorite MAC promo pics. Also, I had a hard time finding containers with a cover because I didn't want my brushes to get dusty. I'm still trying to think of other ideas for it but this will do for now. Hope you like it!

OK, did a little research this morining. I'm sure that no one really needs six 1 lb. bags, but we could do a group purchase.
Just an idea.

I never use mine since I do my makeup at school, so it only has a couple brushes in it regularly....but here it is anyway!
bad picture, but it was taken at night and with my crappy old camera.
Better one soon!
thank you dollar tree/unused childhood items!!!

After seeing everyone's, I felt so creative and went and made one for myself. That and my brush collection just wasn't fitting in the normal place.
So here it is:
I used stones and sand. My husband thought the sand was a bad idea (messy and sticking to the brushes) but it is so fine that it really hasn't caused a problem! Thanks for looking!

i guess you could call this my mac AND sephora inspired style holder but even from the beginning, it hasn't been enough to hold everything. i'm also using the round brush holder from antiquitease to hold all my powder brushes and stuff. i bought a table from ikea today to turn into a vanity so i'll prob. invest in more stuff to hold my brushes!*
*edit: i bought a second brush holder to hold my growing brush collection. the left holds all mac (except for one) and the right holds all the misc. (not pictured: 182 brush).

My wonderful boyfriend just got me this Hello Kitty thing with a swivel thing on the bottom (it spins!!). The moment I got it, I ran off to the art store to get some of that colorfill stuff. So happy I don't have to keep them all cooped up in a cup anymore haha. Ughh I need to clean my brushes lol
