DIY Project: Glitter Mason Jars


If you know me, you know that I'm obsessed with glitter. And mason jars. And makeup. So what better way to combine all three than to create a makeup brush holder! I love DIY projects and even more when they can be used as functional tools in my life. Follow these simple instructions to get beautiful, glittery mason jars!

Optional Stuff:
2 Bags of Marbles
Makeup Brushes 

Where to Buy:
Mason Jars: Walmart, Publix, Michael's, Hobby Lobby
Glue: Walmart or any craft store
Glitter: Walmart or any craft store
Rubbing Alcohol: Any drugstore
Cotton Pads: Any drugstore
Paper Towels: Your kitchen...
Marbles: Any craft store

Do It Yourself:
1. Prep your mason jars by cleaning them with the rubbing alcohol. Having a clean surface will ensure that the glue and glitter stick to the inside of the jar. 


2. Once your mason jars are cleaned and dry, carefully spray the inside of the jars with enough glue to coat the entire inside. I "swooshed" the jars around to make sure that no part of the jar was missed. 


3. Dump your glitter, in the color of your choosing, into the jar and begin turning the jar so that the glitter covers the entire inside surface of the jar. 


4. Once you've double checked the jar to make sure that there are no spots missing glitter, dump the remaining glitter onto the paper towels or newspaper. Discard the extra glitter. 


5. Let the jar dry for at least 2-3 hours before adding anything inside. I've decided to add marbles to the jar to make makeup brush holders. I filled the jar about half way in one jar and 3/4 of the way in the other to accommodate for my smaller travel brushes. You could always add flowers or seasonal/holiday decorations.
