If you need a place to rest your toothbrushes (or some pencils) than look no further! Rather than buying one of those old plastic cups, why not make one?! This piece works great if you are going for a clean geometric look. You can make any shape you want by simply taping cardboard together and pouring quick cement into your created mold. This is a fun and easy way to create a unique piece for your bathroom.
The price listed is for the ENTIRE box of cement which you only use a super small portion of, so this really only cost probably $1-2.

SUPPLIES:
STEP 1: Cut out cardboard
STEP 2: Tape the pieces to make a mold
STEP 3: Create toothbrush molds
STEP 4: Tape it together
STEP 5: Make three of them
STEP 6: Mix your cement
STEP 7: Place the toothbrush mold into the cement
STEP 8: Cut away the molds
STEP 9: Sand it down
Now you just add your toothbrushes and BAM! New holder!
The great part about this piece is you can customize it in so many ways! You can make whatever shape you want, you can paint it or add some gold leaf (which I might end up doing)... the possibilities are endless!
If you are not a fan of the gray, as I mentioned earlier, you can paint it, or you can also buy add in colors from the hardware store and mix it in with your cement mixture before pouring it into the mold!
Another great thing is that all my toothbrushes fit! Have you ever bought one of these and the holes are too small for your toothbrush? Not a problem with this guy!
Enjoyed the project?
