Hey guys, here’s an idea or DIY project. I really wanted to have a portable watercolor set with good pigmented colors. I mean I know I could just buy those crayola or prang watercolor sets but I wanted more “features” to the set. Plus I did find a high quality portable watercolor set with a mini brush and a section where you can pour water into, BUT it was $32.00! I am not gonna pay that much money for a set! So I’ve decided to make my own where I can store any brush(es), have a bigger section where I can pour water into and customize my own colors.

So this is what I did:

I bought a organizational container for scrapbook things from Michaels. This container had removable tabs where you could customize the size of each section (either into a square or rectangle size section). There were 3 permanent rectangular sections and built into these sections are curved edges where I can store my brush. This container also has three locks on all sides.

I haven’t used my Loew Cornell watercolor tubes and I thought it would be cool to put the paints into the container. So I put the paints in each square section and left the containter open so it could dry into a solid watercolor paint (just like those Crayola and Prang sets).

I hope you guys like this idea!!
