Step-by-Step Guide to Making Beadable Makeup Brushes
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First, you need to collect everything to make your customizable makeup brushes. You’ll need a makeup brush (one with a handle that you can add beads to), some pretty beads (like glass or plastic ones), strong glue, and a small string if you want to tie the beads. You can also get a beads makeup brush holder to keep your brushes safe after decorating them.
I once used some shiny pink beads to decorate my brush, and it looked so pretty, like a princess brush!
One time, I forgot to get glue, and the beads kept falling off. It was so messy, and I had to start again.
Step 2: Pick the Right Makeup Brushes
Before you start, you need to know what are the basic makeup brushes you should use. There are some must-have makeup brushes like a big fluffy one for powder, a flat one for foundation, and a small one for eyeshadow. If you’re wondering what basic makeup brushes do I need, these three are a good start. You can find a beadable makeup brushes set on beadablebliss.com or even buy bulk beadable makeup brushes if you want to make many at once.
I picked a fluffy brush to decorate first, and it was so easy to add beads because the handle was long and smooth.
Once, I chose a tiny brush with a short handle, and there was no space for beads. It looked so crowded and not cute at all.
Step 3: Choose Your Beads
Now, pick the beads you want to use for your beaded brushes. You can use makeup beads in colors like red, blue, or gold. Make sure the beads have a hole so you can put them on the brush handle. If you want to try other unique beadable items, you can also get a beadable hair brush or beadable combs to decorate in the same way.
I used some sparkly gold beads, and my brush looked like it belonged to a queen!
One time, I picked beads that were too big, and they didn’t fit on the brush handle. I had to go back and find smaller ones, which took a lot of time.
Step 4: Decorate Your Brush
Take your brush and start adding the beads. If the handle has a hole, you can slide the beads onto it. If not, use a little glue to stick the beads on the handle. Be careful not to use too much glue, or it will get messy. You can also try making patterns, like red and blue beads one after the other, to make it look extra nice.
I made a pattern with pink and white beads, and it looked so pretty, like candy! My friends loved it.
I used too much glue once, and it got on my hands and the brush. It was so sticky, and I had to wash everything and start again.
Step 5: Let It Dry
After you’re done decorating, you need to let the glue dry. Put your brush in a safe place, like in a beads makeup brush holder, and wait for a few hours. Don’t touch it until it’s completely dry, or the beads might move or fall off.
I left my brush to dry overnight, and the next morning, the beads were stuck perfectly. It looked so shiny and strong!
One time, I touched the brush too soon, and the beads slid off. I had to glue them again, and it was so annoying.
Step 6: Use or Gift Your Beaded Brush
Once your brush is dry, you can use it to put on makeup, or you can give it to a friend as a gift. If you don’t have makeup brushes, you can use your fingers or a clean sponge to put on makeup instead. These brushes are so fun to use because they look pretty while you’re doing your makeup.
I gave my beaded brush to my best friend, and she loved it so much. She uses it every day!
I tried using my brush before it was fully dry, and some beads fell off while I was putting on makeup. It made a mess on my face!
Step 7: Try Other Beadable Items
If you enjoy making beaded makeup brushes, you can also try decorating other things like beadable markers or beadable combs. These are just as fun to make and look so cute when you’re done. You can even mix and match beads to make all your items look special.
I made a beadable comb with blue beads, and it looked so nice in my hair. Everyone at school asked where I got it!
I tried decorating a marker, but the beads kept slipping off because the marker was too smooth. I had to use more glue, which made it look a little messy.
Conclusion
Making beadable makeup brushes is such a fun and easy craft! You can turn a simple brush into something beautiful with just a few beads and glue. By following these steps, you’ll have your own pretty brushes in no time. Plus, you can try decorating other things like combs or markers too. I hope you enjoy making your beaded makeup brushes as much as I did!
