Polka Dot Ribbon Jars | Makeup Brush Storage

As a general beauty fanatic and the owner of a rather extensive collection of makeup brushes, I am always looking for cute ways to store my stash. When this collides with my love of both polka dots and bows, you get a darn cute way of storing makeup brushes. Today, I am going to show you how I store my makeup brushes in recycled glass jars, with a little added touch for the aesthetic side of things. There isn't much depth to this post really, I just thought it would be nice to snap a few pictures and pop them up for you to have a gander. I guess you could say I was having a spontaneous photography session, why not ey? 

I popped a few of my eyeshadow brushes into this smaller glass jar, to give you a feel of how it looks. This jar is a curry paste jar that I have (very) thoroughly washed out. Reusing and recycling glass jars is a great idea, as not only is it jolly good for the environment, it also means you can store your brushes in a cheap yet effective way. Just to add a little more pizzazz to the jar, I tied some polka dot ribbon around the rim and secured it in a bow at the front. I simply adore anything with a bow on it, and I think it adds a super cute and girly touch to my dressing table. These cute little DIY jars can be used to store so many things, be it makeup brushes, toothbrushes, hair combs, or even sweeties if you're letting your sweet tooth take control. I love how these jars look and will definitely be collecting more from my kitchen over the next few weeks to make more. 

The next jar was one I bought ready made, which could be more suited to you if DIY's aren't really your thing. I actually received this as a Christmas present, and I believe it was from our local garden centre. It has a bark-like coating around the outside of the jar, with  two little heart shaped gaps at the front. The red and white polka dot bow gives a very Minnie Mouse-esque to the jar, which, as a Disney lover, makes me rather happy. It also has a shiny red heart charm threaded onto the ribbon. Bigger jars like this one work a dream for storing face brushes, as they tend to have bigger handles, thus requiring bigger storage. If you're a person with a creative initiative, then I'm pretty sure you could create a jar on the fancier side of things just like this one. 

I love finding cute ways to store my brushes, and really am very fond of these little jars. What's your favourite way to store makeup brushes? Thanks for reading!
