Homemade Airbrush Holder

Airbrushes are used for crafting a variety of things, from customized t-shirts, to canvas paintings and temporary tattoos. Whatever you use your airbrush for, having an airbrush holder is vital for times when you need to set your airbrush down as you are working. While holders are available in many craft stores, making one is inexpensive and relatively easy.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the cover from your shoebox. You can discard it or save it for use in another project.

    • 2

      Draw several u-shaped marks along the top edge of your shoebox. The marks should be large enough so that your airbrush will rest comfortably in them, usually about an inch deep by 3/4 of an inch wide. Space them roughly 2 inches apart.

    • 3

      Cut along the u-shaped marks at the top of your shoebox.

    • 4

      Reinforce the cut areas with duct tape. This will help your airbrush holder to remain durable with regular use.

    • 5

      Set the shoebox near where you use your airbrush, usually on a craft table or desk.

    • 6

      Put the brick inside the shoebox so that it keeps the airbrush holder in place. Set your airbrush into the grooves created, allowing one end to rest on the brick inside the shoebox.

Tips & Warnings

  • For additional durability, spray your holder with one or two coats of acrylic sealer.
