Makeup Brush Holder

I have always been a fan of makeup and for the holidays I received a bunch of makeup brushes. I ordered some brushes from E.L.F which was recommended to me by a friend. E.L.F was having a deal that any order $20 would get a free 100 eyeshadow palette. I thought it would be a good idea to organize the brushes.

Supplies Needed 
Vase
Vase filler rocks
Makeup brushes

I kept the brushes in the protective plastic to prevent them from getting dusty.You can also use the vase to hold the brushes so they can dry after you wash them.

How do you organize your brushes?

DIY Magnetic Necklace/Jewelry Holder

This jewelry holder makes accessorizing easy since you can clearly see everything. It also adds to the decor of your room and is simple to make.

The magnets are decorated with cute buttons.

Supplies Needed
Magnetic strip
Magnets
Buttons (preferably larger than the magnets)
String
Hot Glue Gun

I had a magnetic board and magnets which were used to hang photos up. Ikea has a similar magnetic strip for $14 here.
You can purchase magnets, buttons, and string at any craft store like Michaels or A.C. Moore.

I will post the full tutorial with more pictures if requested.

Easy and Cheap DIY Carafe

I think the glass Voss bottles have such a simple yet elegant design. You can usually purchase a bottle from a grocery or convenience store for less than $3. Use it as a carafe next to your bed or anything you  want.

Supplies Needed:
Glass Voss Bottle
Cup or mug
Brillo pad or knife
Gloves

I got mine for free from an event I attended. Since the label is not a sticker, I thought it would be a difficult task to remove and my search online recommended a chemical soak. Since I plan to drink from the bottle, this was not an option. I tried using a Brillo pad to scrape off the ink and it worked! A more efficient method would actually be to use a knife. Use gloves to protect you hands and steady the bottle (rubber kitchen gloves make it easier to grip the bottle). I angled it so that it was about 60 degrees from the surface of the bottle and scraped away.  Voila! A beautiful bottle to fill.

Since the bottle top is flat, I flipped a mug on top of the bottle. Then I purchased this cute cup from Ikea for about $2.

No more trips in the middle of the night to get water and no more stray glasses of water all over my room!
