The Dollar Tree makeup brush storage hack
If you’re wondering how you can achieve all of the above with just a few simple products from Dollar Tree, you’ll want to watch a TikTok video, posted by @juju.cares, showcasing a creative and budget-friendly method to keep all your makeup brushes and tools organized—no need to overspend on a makeup brush organizer when you can make it yourself!
The video shows a very simple way to put the organizer together and it’s a piece of cake—even if you’re not the crafty type!
Items needed for makeup brush storage
To build your own makeup brush organizer, swing by Dollar Tree and pick up two small mesh/wire baskets, a metal paper towel stand, pliers and zip ties (if you don’t already have them on hand) and a bottle of gold spray paint if you want to make it sparkle! The wire baskets sell for just $1.50 each, the paper towel stand is $1.25, the pliers range from $1.25 to $5 (depending on which pair you select) and the zip ties are $1.50. Overall, you can spend as little as $7 to create this easy organizational system.
DIY instructions for makeup brush organizer
To create this makeup brush organizer, follow these simple steps:
First, cut a hole in the bottom of each wire basket, using the pliers.
Next, slide one basket onto the paper towel stand and push it to the bottom, letting it rest there. Fasten the basket to the stand with zip ties. Slide the other basket over the paper towel stand a few inches above the first basket, and secure it with another set of zip ties.
If you choose, you can add a splash of color by spritzing with a coat or two of gold spray paint (or any color you prefer!). Once the paint dries, fill the baskets with makeup brushes, beauty blenders and any other makeup-application tools you use regularly. Note: If you’re worried about the organizer toppling over, fill the bottom basket with the brushes and other heavier items and use the top basket for smaller, lightweight items, like beauty blenders and makeup sponges.
What Dollar Tree shoppers say
Like always, there were mixed reviews about the organizer but many agreed it is convenient—and not just for storing makeup tools! One person wrote, “Great idea but not for that use. Onions and potatoes for me.”
Another viewer wrote, “Cute!! I’m gonna have to try this out!! Keep them coming,” while another said, “Such a great idea!!!”
