Dollar Tree Flower Vases Are The Perfect Solution For This Bathroom Storage

When you're trying to get ready in the morning, it's frustrating if you can't find exactly what you need. Clutter often means scrambling through bathroom drawers to track things down. Beauty products and tools often turn into a mess if you don't find clever ways to keep them organized. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to help alleviate this headache. Dollar Tree sells a plastic flower vase with multiple holes. Although the openings are meant to hold flowers, they're also perfect for storing makeup brushes. Easily organize small bathroom essentials with this genius Dollar Tree hack and enjoy less stressful mornings.

First, buy yourself a Plastic Flower Holder from Dollar Tree. It has six holes for brushes and the top comes off, so it's a breeze to clean the inside. Two benefits of using a container like this are that it gives the brushes room to breathe and preserves their form, as opposed to being crowded into a makeup bag. This storage system helps keep the brushes clean, too. They're stored upright, which means the bristles won't pick up oil and dirt from the vanity countertop. The other Dollar Tree item you'll want to grab is a bag of Black Decorative Accent Polished River Stones to keep the brushes upright. You'll likely find them in the same aisle as the vase. Don't like black? They come in various colors, so pick the hue that matches your existing bathroom décor.

Dollar Tree offers all kinds of ways to elevate your bathroom with cozy and affordable décor — and this DIY is no exception. Simply pour the decorative stones into the flower holder until it's mostly filled up. Then, stick one makeup brush into each hole. The rocks will keep them snug, holding them in place. Not only is this idea useful, but the stones turn it into something that's as decorative as it is practical.

Switch out the river pebbles with glass beads, such as Dollar Tree's Floral Garden Ocean Blue Glass Accent Gems. You could also decorate the outside of the container. If you still want to see the stones, wrap the top of the vase in washi tape, creating a gorgeous border. You could also create a border using peel-and-stick wallpaper. Both materials come in a variety of patterns; choose a design that fits your style. If you have more than six brushes, glue two flower holders together end-to-end. Add a third vase in the middle for fake — or real — flowers.

If you're not fussed about seeing the stones, decoupage the outside of the holder. Lightly sand the plastic, then cover it in torn patterned paper napkins sealed with Mod Podge. You'll beautify your bathroom and clean up clutter, too. However, you might still want to fill the vase with stones to hold the brushes in place.
