Gather the materials
To make a DIY toothbrush holder, you will need a few simple materials that you probably already have lying around the house. Here’s what you’ll need:
- An empty plastic bottle or container
- A pair of scissors or a craft knife
- Decorative paper or fabric
- Mod Podge or glue
- A paintbrush
- Optional: additional decorations like stickers, ribbon, or beads
Prepare the plastic bottle
Start by ensuring that the plastic bottle you are using is clean and free of any labels. Remove the cap and use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut off the top section of the bottle. This will be the main part of your toothbrush holder.
Decorate the toothbrush holder
Next, choose your decorative paper or fabric and cut it to fit the size of the plastic bottle. You can use patterned paper, colored paper, or even wrapping paper for this step. Apply a layer of Mod Podge or glue to the back of the paper or fabric, then carefully wrap it around the outside of the toothbrush holder, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. Allow the Mod Podge or glue to dry completely.
If desired, you can further embellish your toothbrush holder with additional decorations like stickers, ribbon, or beads. Get creative and let your personal style shine through!
Create the toothbrush slots
To make the slots for your toothbrushes, use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to make small, evenly spaced cuts around the top rim of the toothbrush holder. The cuts should be just wide enough for the handles of your toothbrushes to fit through. Make sure to leave enough space between each slot to accommodate the number of toothbrushes you plan to store.
After making the cuts, check that the toothbrushes fit comfortably in the slots. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure they are secure and won’t fall out.
Enjoy your DIY toothbrush holder
Your DIY toothbrush holder is now complete and ready to use! Place your toothbrushes into the slots, taking care to keep the bristles clean and dry. You can place the toothbrush holder on your bathroom countertop, attach it to a wall using adhesive strips or hooks, or even hang it from a suction cup hook in your shower.
Remember to regularly clean and sanitize your toothbrush holder to keep it hygienic. It’s also a good idea to periodically update the decorative paper or fabric if it becomes worn or dirty.
