Not Sewing, But It Is Embellishment
This was not my idea - I saw this years ago in a fashion mag, and it was SO long ago I can’t even recall when it was or what magazine it was! Basically, it’s a sushi mat used as a roll for makeup brushes. Take about 27 inches (3/4 yard) of 1 inch black elastic, and thread it through the bamboo sticks to secure your makeup brushes. Roll them up and secure with the elastic.
Last week I was in Sephora (my absolutely favorite place to shop, other than a fabric store) and the tech doing my makeup loved the idea and brought over about 4 or 5 of her coworkers, who all declared “I am so stealing this idea.”
So steal away yourself!

What a fabulous idea! I will steal it, thanks for the invite! I think I’ll try putting velcro on the back of the elastic to secure it. I’ll let you know how it goes. -Ann

Hey, this is a wonderful idea. It could be used with other items too–art supplies come to mind.

What a fantastic idea. I love Sephora, too! It’s fun to go there with a group of friends and try things out.
