DIY Makeup Brush Holder
11:00:00 AM Instead of throwing out your candle when its all used up, why not recycle it. I always struggle trying to find ways to store my make-up brushes and then an idea came to me that the candle jar is the perfect size to store my brushes. The only problem was that there was still the wax and wicks where still there, trust me it is not difficult at all. I used a bath and body works candle but any candle in a glass jar would work.
What you need
♡ used up candle
♡ glitter
♡ mod podge
♡ nail polish remover
♡ foam paint brush
♡ knife
Step 1
Start with taking your used up candle and putting it in the freezer for several hours. I left my candle in the freezer over night
Step 2
You will need your candle from the freezer and a knife. Start by going around the wax with the knife and then place the knife in the middle and twist it to crack the wax and then remove the wax.
Step 3
Wash out your candle holder with soap and water just to remove the residue. Also remove the price label and ingredients label on the bottom. It removes easily with water and the knife. The front label just peels off also.
Step 4
If there is any sticky residue left n your candle from the stickers use the nail polish remover and it will easily come off.
Step 5
Take your candle, mod podge and foam paint brush. Evenly paint the inside of the holder with mod podge and then sprinkle glitter on the inside. Turn your holder as you are spreading out the glitter to easily dispense it.
Step 6
After the glitter is evenly around the holder shake off the excess glitter and turn it upside down to dry. It takes about 5 hours of so to dry, your best bet would to be to leave it over night.
