How to make a brush organizer


Couple days ago, one of my team mates Lana from BelleCoccinelle shared an idea how to make a brush organizer of sushi mat. I found this idea brilliant! I was thinking to make some organizer because I have quite a few of cosmetics brushes that has to be organized So Lana's idea was given in a very right time :)

Here we go... To make the organizer, sushi mat and an elastic are needed.

  7. АфbricFascination, yes, I guess, it should work. You simply need to make the holders smaller.
