Glittery Makeup Brushes

Hey guys! Today we’re gonna teach you how to make your brushes sparkly without having messy glitter fall off.

(Abbey’s comments are bold, Emily’s are not.)

So the things you need are:

• Mod Podge
• very fine Glitter (We used blue, purple, pink, black and silver)

(Sadly, the pink glitter wasn’t fine enough, and it was really chunky and wouldn’t dry, so we eventually ditched the pink.)

• Bowls
• Paint Brush
• Newspaper
• Your Makeup Brushes
• popsicle sticks
• A box to set the drying brushes on

Step One: Mix the glitter and the Mod Podge together with the popsicle sticks in the bowls, using a lot of glitter until it becomes a thickish paste.  

Step Two: Use a paintbrush to paint the handles of your brushes. Be careful to avoid the bristles! (Unfortunately, we didn’t have any paintbrushes, so we used old eyeshadow brushes.)

Step Three: We used a cardboard box to set the brushes on while they dried. Any of the brushes that could stand on their own just dried like that. 

Step Four: Once those feel dry, paint them with the glitter mixture again, making sure to cover all the blank patches.

(Once the second coat is dry, you can go over it with a thin layer of plain Mod Podge to seal it all in. We didn’t do that, but we think it might be a good idea.)

Tada! Now you have glittery brushes! Since the glitter was mixed in with the glue, it’s gonna stick really well and not get all over the place. We hope you like your fancy brushes!

See you next Tuesday!

Love, Abbey and Emily
