made a brush holder

I made a brush holder with a towel. I'm so happy with it! Picked the idea somewhere from the internet. Folded a black towel, stitched straight lines and some ribbons and that's it. It looks greyish on the photo because of the flash, but it's black. When I have painted somewhere I put my brushes in it, doesn't mind if they are still a bit wet. At home I clean the brushes and throw the towel in the washing machine.

very cute Nancy!

great idea!!

look at you!!! so clever. great idea! i love it.

That's a really good idea--I've been thinking I want a brush holder, but I don't want to pay loads =D

What a great idea and execution! You are one smart cookie btw I love the added touch you gave it with the ribbons and charms.

Love it Nancy!

From one sewer to another, good idea!!!! I may just have to try that.

Great job Nancy! I made one very, very similar out of upholstery fabric for all my knitting needles, it is great!!

Great idea!!

Love this, so simple and effective. Absolutely awesome, now I need to find someone who can sew straight!!

Great idea!

Wow now this is genius!!! I wish I hadn't gone out and bought one two weeks ago. Thank goodness it was only like 7 bucks. I like this idea better. It seems more compact. AnD I love the idea that it can be washed. Hope you don't mind if I make one for myself.

Thanks for your reactions.
@Anramire2 Ofcourse you can make your own. I'm glad I can post something that can be used. i learn so much on this forum.

great job..I may have to sew one too looks great

hmmm..Just when I was thinking I needed something that would hold more brushes, and still be compact. I Likey! Now to find my sewing machine!

Love It!!! Love It!!! Love It!!! Thank You for sharing... )

Thanks for sharing..My little boys decided that they wanted to make personalized Tshirts for their teddies,,so I will have my sewing machine out tomorrow..what superb timing for this post..Thank Nancy!

I made a similar thing and didn't even think about posting it up here, being a 'newy' and all!

I love the idea of making it out of a towel so that you can just throw it in the wash.

I made mine out of a "wipe-able" plastic/material...I haven't put my dirty brushes in it though . . . now that I think about it I could of course! I could also put an extra piece of material or towel in between the dirty brushes and the holder to avoid the fabric from staining. I will try that this weekend.

I would post a picture of mine but have no idea how to do that!

hope this works...[img]http://www.facepaintforum.com/ . . . I'm a bit over the top and write which brush goes it which holder . . .a bit much I know![/img]

Nice Aussie3070..

Wow, you girls should market these! Really I can't sew and would totally buy one from you guys!

I also made something like this about 2 years ago from an old towel..I keep all my brushes in it..

Fantastic! Going upstairs to craft room right now to make one!! I remember my mother making one of these for my school crayons (1976 LOL!!)
