Recycled Brush Holder

When using oil finishes, I like to keep my brush immersed in thinner until I'm finished with the project.

Problem is, if you stand the brush up in a can or jar, you'll eventually ruin your brush with permanently curled bristles.

One way to keep bristles in like-new condition is to temporarily store your brushes in baby wipe plastic containers. The lids already have an expansion hole in the top, which makes it easy to insert the brush handle.

With the lid in place, the brush stays suspended and the thinner doesn't evaporate as quickly as it would in an open jar.
