Paintbrush Sorting, Solved!

| April 15, 2014

Today I’d love to share a cheap, color-coded system to store your paintbrushes. The system is also student-friendly and will make keeping your brushes sorted a breeze! Having already used recyclables as a storage solution in another area of my room, I began saving containers of multiple sizes. I simply spray-painted each recycled container black for uniformity and added a little flare with acrylic paint. See how the matching system works in the video!

Do you have a system in place for paintbrush clean-up?
