DIY Galaxy Makeup Brush Holder

This is a super easy and fun way to spice up your makeup brush holder. In four easy steps, you can have your own customized makeup brush holder! You don't have to use these "galaxy" colors, but I think it looks cool. So here are the things you will need:

• an empty candle jar
• Modge Podge
• paint brush
• glitter
• hair spray

Step 1:

Clean out your candle jar. I used a Bath and Body Works candle that had a little bit of wax in it. To get the wax out, put the candle in the freezer. I left mine in over night (so about 10 hours). Once you take it out, get a butter knife, wedge the knife between the wax and the jar. Do that in three spots and the wax and the wicks should easily pop out of the jar. Take some dish soap and make it spotless.

Step 2:

Take your Modge Podge and apply a thin layer all over the inside of the jar. It's okay if there's some thicker clumps on the bottom. No one will notice.

Step 3:

If you want to use one color, then go ahead and put it in your jar. If you want to use the galaxy colors, get another bowl and mix in the black, purple, blue, and white glitter. You'll use more purple than any other colors and less white than the other colors. After you mix it, add it to your jar and distribute the glitter evenly by twirling (the best way to describe it) the glitter all over the inside of the jar.

Step 4:

After you get all the glitter to cover the Modge Podge, let it sit until all the glue dries up. To help the glitter stay in place, take some hairspray and spray it inside the jar. Make sure you keep the hairspray about a foot away from the glitter because if you don't some of the glitter will fly out.

To make this into a makeup brush holder, I put in some plant filler from Micheals that's about $5-$6. You could also use this as a little vase and put some artificial white roses in. Enjoy!
