Use string to tighten the opening of the brush and to keep the bristles in.  glue the end of the string to keep it from unraveling.

Great idea for making brushes! I had one possible idea concerning it. Using the constrictor knot (Ashley Book of Knots #1249) instead of wrapping, might be easier and hold stronger.

This is a very easy knot to tie and is nigh on impossible to undo, it usually has to be cut off, so in this case the knot could be tied and then just a little glue to lock it even further.
