DIY Rolled Item Holder

So, as to where last Thursday's DIY is....well, I had familial goings-ons that were a priority and the DIY got put in the back-burner. Sorry! As for the title of this DIY, confusing right? That is because this DIY can be whatever you want it to be. The Rolled Holder can be used for your makeup brushes, your paint brushes, your pencils/pens, etc. Really whatever you want to put use it for you can. 

For this DIY you will need:

-Bamboo Mat (Used for rolling sushi; these can be found in most grocery stores).

-Ribbon 

-Lighter

-Sharpies (The items that the holder is for).

Step 1: Slip the ribbon through the first bamboo rod on the mat. 

Step 2: Take into account the width of the items you are using the holder for. I am making this holder for my sharpies and the width of one sharpie is two bamboo rods. Now slip the ribbon in through the mat. 

Step 3: Continue on slipping the ribbon throughout the mat. If you are using brushes, or items with different widths, make sure the ribbon will fit the item snugly or it will slip out. 

 

Step 4: This is what your mat should resemble.

Step 5: Now run the lighter at the edge of each ribbon to ensure that it won't fray. Make sure the ribbon is long enough on each side to enable you to roll and tie your holder. 

Step 6: Slip your items in and you have a new holder. Any extra slots can be used as you need them. 

Here is the finished product:

So there is another DIY just for all of you! This is something great to do with brushes especially! See you all next Thursday.
