Keep your beauty tools in check—stylishly and sustainably!
Makeup brushes have a magical way of going missing or getting covered in mystery dust when left loose in a drawer or makeup bag. Enter this DIY Denim Makeup Brush Organizer—a simple, roll-up holder made from old jeans that keeps everything neat, clean, and right where you want it. Plus, it’s washable, portable, and super cute on your vanity.
🧵 What You’ll Need:
- Large denim rectangle (approx. 12″ x 16″)
- Optional lining fabric (cotton or canvas)
- Sewing machine or fabric glue
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- Ribbon, twine, or denim tie
- Pins or clips
- Optional: elastic band or extra pockets
✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cut Your Base & Pocket Fabric
- Cut one large denim rectangle (this is your roll).
- Cut another piece about 12″ x 6″ to form the pocket where brushes will slide in.
2. Assemble the Pocket
- Place the smaller denim piece on the bottom edge of the large piece, right side up.
- Stitch vertical lines 1–1.5″ apart to create individual brush slots.
3. Add a Tie
- Sew or glue a ribbon or denim strip to one end of the rectangle so you can roll and tie the organizer closed.
4. Finishing Touches
- Hem all raw edges for a polished look or use pinking shears to reduce fraying.
- You can even add an extra flap at the top to fold over and protect brush tips when rolled up.
