</a><p>The struggle is real when it comes to cleaning those makeup brushes once a week. If we're being honest, it's all too easy to skip a week or two. But don't forget: dirty brushes harbor dirt and bacteria that can cause breakouts and irritation!</p><br /><p>That said, there are silicone brush cleansing mats on the market that make getting the job done so much easier. While they're convenient, they can cost upward of $30 or more. But you can actually DIY</a> your very own cleaning board . . . with a clipboard!</p><br /><p>This project will set you back only a few bucks (clipboard and hot glue included!). The plastic clipboard is a great dupe because it's waterproof, and the textured surface helps break up dirt and grime just as well as those fancy designer mats.</p><br /><p>Would you make this at home?
