This is not only practical, it also doubles as an air freshener! Fill up a small vase or glass jar with things like coffee beans, dried beans, marbles, popcorn kernels, rice, or mini crystals, and they can use it to store makeup brushes. If there are youth in your unit who aren’t into make up, it also works as fun storage for paint brushes, pen & pencils, or it’s a fantastic idea for table centerpieces, or a little room ambiance on the bedside table or dresser. With this in mind, simply throw a tea light or battery-operated candle in there.

I got this fun idea from: They Say A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words
