I know there are also other tutorials and such on how to make the brush holder jars like the ones at Sephora, but I also put my own spin on it by adding a few gems to the jar to give it a little pizazz. My OLD brush jar was a mesh pen holder I got from Office Max, and I was quickly growing out of it! So I transferred all the brushes from the old holder into a clear glass jar of similar height from Michaels for only $2.99. It comes with a lid which I just took off. I then bought a transparent vase filler, which are tiny round "bubbles" that will hold your brushes in place.
You do not need to fill it half way because when you add you brushes it rises up (like when you have a glass of water and add ice cubes, there's "more" water).
The glue gun and jewels I used to decorate the jar are also from Michael's.

The jewels make it that much cuter =).
Thanks for responding to my question and commenting on my entry. I've been lurking on your blog for ages so I know how many fans you have; I appreciate your taking the time.
this is sooo pretty! you always put something "Nessa" on whatever you do! :D
Great idea! I never thought of putting some gems! :) Thanks for this idea :D
You're so creative!! They look very cute :)
i have seen enkore's tutorial for this brush holder before and it is brilliant!
you made it even better with the extra decoration on the outside. so cute!
that's so cute!
Cuuuuuute! That's really creative!
That is very pretty! You are so creative!
hi ate nessa!:) you are so creative with what you do, you manage to add that "you" in your stuff :) cool!
girl u realy dont play. ur posts are on point
haha cool! i did something simmilar but i let my niece "decorate it" with this crazy looking glitter nail polish haha
Awesome, thanks for the great ideas... the jewels are such a cute touch :D!
I like the added crystals. It's so you for some odd reason! :)
INcredibly cute and great idea! Too bad I'm always on the go so I just have to keep my brushes in my brush roll.
The big jewels are such a Nessa touch! I would do this, but my makeup box is always moving with me. I never do my makeup in the same place, haha.
Laav it (:
We have the same exact brush holder, except mine isn't decked out with jewels. :D
cool tut!!! it looks cute with the big jewels! ^^
that bent eyeliner brush is seriously amazing.
that is super cute! gotta have some bling bling! is it ok to keep your make up brushes in the bathroom? moisture and all.
Pretty! I just use a box (a nice box) that came from the Boots Collection 17 Vintage promotion. Have you ever tried glass painting? I bet you'd be good at it =x
Ethereal Prey- Oh I don't keep my brushes in the bathroom, I just took a pic of it since the bathroom has better lighting LOL. But I keep it on my vanity... :)
Anastasia- I should try that out sometime! I have been eyeing it!
You are so cute! Thanks for the ideas! Must run to wal-mart now. :P
very cute!
so cute ur very creative :D
oh i voted for ur friend hope she wins
love your blog, thanks for the idea.
:)
have you tried the FLIRT! brushes? i heard they're really good
Very nice, I think it looks even nicer than Sephora's! You're definitely one of my favorite bloggers!! =)
That's really cute. I put Epson Salts in mine instead of the filler.
Great idea. I think I like to see what your latest nail job is in each of these tutorials even more - you've always got great designs on them!
i love diy projects and the pressing pigments.. so much fun! thanks for sharing!
i love ur fake nails!! its soo cool u kno how to work wit them =) im not into them cuz they get in the way of everything... you're soo creative n unique!
Hi Carina! I haven't tried their brushes (Flirt!) but I have tried their other products, but I can see why they are good since they are in the same company family as MAC and Estee Lauder. :)
awwww. so cute sis! you should toss some of those gems in with the fill too! :D
I love the jewels!
This is a great idea! I went to Micheal's today to get some of their products but they didn't have the color fill so i ended up getting tiny marbles =/
where can you purchase that at?
