Tags for your Bags

You could use the gift tag already attached to gift bags, but using one of these homemade gift tags is so much more personal. Plus, if you are reusing a gift bag, then most likely the tag is used, so you could use one of these. These are very simple to make, and I had a lot of fun making them!
You can decorate them, then add your name and a message on the back before. You can add these to all your presents!

T-shirts Blooming with Flowers


This is a very quick and easy DIY, and the result are these adorable flower hair pins.
I got this idea when I wanted to recycle a couple of t-shirts I was about to throw away. I was inspired by a flower clip that I already have. These are really cute to add to buns or to pin your hair back. If any of these instructions are confusing, watch my tutorial video on my Youtube channel diysbymegid, linked here.

Makeup Brush Washer and Dryer


By the title, you might think this a tutorial on how to wash your brushes with  your washing machine and dryer... but no, this is a DIY project to make something that you can use to wash your brushes and then use it to dry them, too.

Not this type of washer and dryer! ;)

Even though I know it is super important to wash my brushes out, I rarely do, because:
1. I am lazy
2. It takes too long for them to dry, and I don't like doing my makeup with damp brushes. 

I came up with this DIY when I saw secretlifeofabionerd's video on Youtube. Here is the link to the video She used a plastic clipboard, but I wanted to have mine hold my brushes for them to be able to dry. Usually when I wash my brushes, which is every couple weeks, at most...I leave them on my counter to dry. With the basket, you can hang it on a hook or shower ring by the handles and put it in a sunny place to dry. This project is super easy to do, and it makes washing your brushes a lot easier.
