Best DIY Paint Brush Holders to Help You Carry and Protect Your Brushes (2021)

Thinking of making a paintbrush holder by using minimal products?. Give this PVC Pipe a try. This holder has a cover that protects the brush bristles from breaking down or falling off. Also, the material is waterproof, thus it does not need additional protection. In addition to all that, it is just like a pipe, which you can put on your table and take anything out of it whenever you need it without messing things around.

The materials you need to make this simple yet affordable paintbrush holder are two sizes of PVC pipe (2 feet sections of each); one approx. 1 ½ inch, and the other one of 2 inches, threaded and non-threaded PVC caps that can easily fit on the pipe, sharpie pen, measuring tape, fine-toothed saw, 150-200 grit sandpaper or a fine filter also works, and glue.

Start by measuring the lengths of your paintbrushes, so that you can make a holder that fits rightly to their size. Next, create marks on the PVC pipes by using a sharpie pen. Make sure that the pipe is not smaller than the brushes. This is so because it will squish the bristles and damage them. The normal length of the pipe is usually about 12 inches without the cap and it becomes 15 inches when the cap is attached.

We recommend you increase the one-inch extra length of the pipe, on the safer side. After this, take a fine-toothed saw, cut the PVC pipes from the marks and then sand them to get rid of rough spots. While sanding the inside surface, put in some extra effort so that the soft bristles of the brush do not get caught and break down. Now, slide a rounded cap on one end and the two-piece screw at the cap, to the top. If it does not fit, apply a little glue. Lastly, try to keep the holders with the bristles facing up when you place them on the table to make them last longer.

The supplies you need to make this holder are two big plastic soda bottles, a cutting tool, a black marker, a glazing paper or covering sheet, hollow glitters, liquid glue, a ribbon, and tape. Start by measuring the length of your paintbrushes. Next, take a soda bottle and remove its outer plastic covering. Now, take a measuring tape and put a mark on the bottle. Make sure that you put marks just half in length as compared to the length of the paintbrushes. This is so, because, this holder is for the table and you only need a compact base for the brushes to keep in. After this, take a cutting tool and cut from the marks. Make sure to make the edges smooth.

Now, take a glazing paper and apply it to the bottle by using liquid glue. Try to apply the paper as smooth as you can, because the creases in the paper will make it appear a little bad. Also, do not apply the paper at the base, as it can disturb the balance of the bottle. Next, take different glitters, and make any artistic design that you like. Lastly, tie the ribbon on the neck of the bottle with tape to enhance the look.
