Abstract: A brush-bristle carrying device that is attachable to a handle member to form a brush. A thin layer of an adhesive overlies a flexible strip of material and is protected by a flexible protective cover that is peeled away when a brush is to be made. A bundle of bristles are adhered to one another at a first end so that the second end has utility as a brush. The first end of the bundle is adhered to the flexible strip on its adhesvie covered side. To make a brush, the protective cover is peeled from the adhesive covered flexible strip and that strip is wrapped around the end of a handle. The handle is provided by any available material of generally linear configuration.
