How to Make a Brush Tote

A helpful painting tip from a fellow artist.

Painting Tip From: Papaya.

To make this brush tote, I took an empty coffee container with a very convenient handle, had hubby round out four holes in the lid, put some soft spongy shipping stuff (another recycle) in the bottom so brushes don't move around and rattle, screwed on the lid and inserted my brushes.

I hate to throw out something that can be utilized for another purpose. This particular container has a nice comfortable handle making it easy to tote the brushes around, but this is a tip that'll work with other styles of containers with lids too.
