DIY: Make Up Brush Roll

An easy DIY Tutorial on how you can store all your make up brushes, a make up brush roll. Convenient for traveling and hygienic for home!

Inspired: I'm a very out of sight, out of mind person - when I don't see my stuff in front of me I completely forget I even own them. So when I was looking through Pinterest I stumbled across a picture of a similar make up brush roll made from a place mat, I was inspired. I made myself one and decided to document it for all of you make up brush hoarders (like myself), who like to have all their things laid out in front of them when getting ready, or who want something convenient to grab and go when traveling.
Verdict: It's been really convenient, when I'm finished getting ready I just roll and tuck away into my make up drawer. Convenient when it comes to cost as well, everything I used I already owned, but after making a visit to the Dollar Store, I calculated how much materials would cost to purchase and it all would cost $8.00 AU. 

Materials You Will Need:

• Bamboo Place Mat 
• Sewing Elastic
• Scissors
• Ribbon
• Matching Thread & Needle

Step One
Cutting the elastic twice the length of the bamboo place mat, I then threaded it through one side of the place mat. 
Hand sew it in place as indicated in the picture. 

Step Two
Using my brushes as guidelines I then threaded the elastic through the bamboos. 
Make sure to make it tight, but not too tight that the place mat actually gathers together - just tight enough to secure the brushes in place. 

Step Three
Once I had completed the weaving for all my brushes I then repeated Step One. I weaved it through the end and secured it in place by hand sewing it, cutting off any excess of the elastic. 

Step Four
To secure the roll I then turned the place mat over and weaved my ribbon (30cm in length) through the elastic and tied a double knot. 

Step Five 
Now to close it up, I just rolled it, wrapped the ribbon around the roll and secured it by knotting a ribbon. 

Voila! Finished and organized!

Organizing.
