How to make a paint brush in five minutes, let's try to figure it out with you.
Now everything is in stores! Buying any brush and quite cheaply is not a problem, but imagine such a situation. You need to color something. Literally two brush strokes. After such short-term use, the brush will have to be thrown out. It's a pity, but nothing can be done; washing it somehow is not handy.
And in this situation, this article will come to your rescue.
how do it yourself, it’s very simple and cheap to make a paint brush that does not need to be thrown out and does not need to be washed, with detailed photographs and will be described in it.
What can I make a brush from?
This does not require much time and materials. It will be enough for an old dried brush or any other pen, which is convenient to hold in your hand during painting and a few more details.
We disassemble the old brush so that the handle remains intact, and discard the rest.
Next, we select an ordinary clerical clip of the width that the width of the brush you need, and adjust the width of the handle to the width of the clip. It is better not to cut the handle with a knife, but to saw it off, it will be more accurate, and there is no risk that the tree will break off where it is not needed.
To fix the clamp to the handle, you need to pick up two small and not thick screws. Depending on the diameter of the screws, you need to take two drills. The larger one is for drilling the clamp, and the smaller one is for drilling the screw holes in the handle (so that it does not crack when the screws are tightened).
We drill holes.
We fasten the clamp to the handle.
Cut the foam of the desired size and insert it into the clip.
The brush is ready.
A brush for painting with your own hands is made, it can be used indefinitely and not worry that the paint will dry out and the brush will have to be thrown away. After painting, you simply throw away the used foam rubber, and simply wipe the handle slightly from traces of paint. You can not even throw away the foam, but leave the brush, as it is.
In order for the brush to be ready for further use, simply change the dried foam rubber to a piece of the new one and the brush is ready for use again.Foam rubber can be taken any, such as you have.
If no foam was found, then you can use a piece of old fabric, folded in several layers, a piece of felt or something like that.
As you can see, there are no hopeless situations.
Good luck to you.
