Post your 'Sephora inspired' brush holders

[Dominikanmorena]

I just made mine yesterday. I used sand because it was cheaper. I also heard that the colorfills are made out of acetone, which makes it toxic. Mine is pretty simple but I think I will buy some colored sand to layer n make it pretty =)

I went to the dollar tree and they have the CUTEST vases that are perfect for this. I got two tall square glass ones and filled it with beads...PERFECT!

I'll be sure to let you all know how it turns out. I'm moving this week but plan to order next week and they should be there soon after.

Someone posted these on another board too, could be yet another option.
Kit Kraft inc., Glitter, Clear, Tiny Glass Balls - 3mm

Here are the photos of the beads directly from Sephora for those of you that want to compare.

Since I just moved, it was time for me to make a new place for my brushes! I just used Colorfill even though it seemed too rough for the handles... oh well. I bought everything from Michael's, including the stickers I used to put my name on it:

Thanks for all your ideas!

Well, I finally got around to putting my brush holders together now that I've moved. I only got my order from KitKraft. The other order was returned to them for some reason so I just said forget it and requested a refund.

So, the KitKraft beads are awesome and so so so close though they are just a bit smaller. The Sephora beads are the right size to run your hands through. The KitKraft beads are small enough to catch your fingernails which ruins the smooth feel but all in all I'll buy them again.

Hi all
I bought one of the holiday brush sets this xmas for a travel set, and because I have a really short attention span or something, I have changed my brush holder and am now using the box that the brushes came in. As most of you have probably seen, it has a lot of holes of different sizes in it. I put some oasis flower arranging foam in it and made a couple of the holes slightly bigger and am using it. I actually like it because the brushes are a bit more spread out and easier to see. Will have to punch more holes in it becuase I haven't put all my mac ones in there yet, just as many random ones as I could fit in there for the photo.

Thanks! They are just small purple crystal beads I picked up in my local florist (they are made by a UK company - KM Crystal Colours - Decorative Aggregates, Glassware & Candles)

I was actually going to buy clear or black beads but they only had purple in the size I wanted!

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Hmmm i checked my local Wal-Mart for the floral filler and they didn't have any. I also found some bean bag filler but it was styrafoam and very staticky. I'll have to check Michael's or order online!

Yep I tried the bean bag filler too - had read online that it was better for your brushes. I also thought it was far too staticky and didn't hold my bigger/face brushes upright at all!

Yup definite pass on those. I want mine to be just like Sephora's. I swear i never thought in a million years about doing that until i saw this thread and was shocked how many people have it at home!

Another reason why

If you want to go the super cheap method, I know someone who posted pics and she had used plain old rice, it worked equally as well. Please read:I've had quite a few messages from people asking about the sand stuff I used in my vase. I do not recall the name as I threw the packaging away so please do not PM me to ask what it is called. It came in a plastic screw-top container and I bought it at a well-stocked craft & hobby store in Switzerland. I also saw a similar product at a larger garden & florist shop, I think some people use it in vases but I am not sure.

I love the pink layering you used. It looks cute and different.

i was inspired by the pink granules in different layers. instead tho i used sand =] all from the dollar store *the container and the sand* $5 cant beat that!*
