Get Organized: Dollar Tree Finds for a DIY Vanity Upgrade

If your vanity is a chaotic mess, you might just need some better organizational tools. Makeup brushes can be a big culprit when it comes to clutter. But the good news is you can use simple Dollar Tree supplies and a bit of DIY magic to create a stylish brush holder that looks way more expensive than it actually is. All you need are some Dollar Tree candle holders, a few bowls, hot glue, and some decorative stones or gems.

The idea is to build a raised container by gluing the candle holder to the bowl. This gives it a cool pedestal look that adds some style. Then you just fill the bowl with stones to hold your brushes upright, which helps keep them clean and in good shape. It’s a major upgrade from just leaving them on the counter or in a bag.

The steps are super simple. First, remove the labels from the vase and candle holder and clean them up with some white vinegar. Then just apply hot glue to the bottom of the vase and press it onto the candle holder. Once the glue dries, fill the vase halfway with decorative stones and stick your makeup brushes right in there.

You can customize this DIY in lots of ways – try different vases, cups, or jars instead of the Dollar Tree ones, or use different candle holders as the base. You can also switch up the stones, try painting it, or even use it to store other things like eyeliners, mascara, or pens. It’s a really versatile little project that’ll keep your vanity way more organized.
