I have an overabundance of makeup brushes. In addition to jewelry boxes as seen here and here. It comes with the job. So I got rather excited when I saw this little desk organizer at target one day for $3 in their back to school bin of goodies.

Admittedly it’s not particularly attractive, but 50 yards of ribbon can fix anything… or is that duct tape?

I didn’t want to paint it or decoupage it because it’s something that is going to have to be cleaned regularly just like my brushes. (speaking of which need a good wash) A little bit of tape or hot glue securing the ribbon on is easily removed for washing.

I just continued to wrap the ribbon around the cylindrical shape of the (now) makeup brush holder … and…Tah-Dah!

Much less cluttered than the drinking glasses and candle holders that previously housed my brush collection.
