My kids are constantly losing toothbrushes, or breaking the toothbrush holder, or dumping out the toothbrushes and using the holder to dig holes in my back yard. So, I came up with a cute way to hold the tooth brushes.
Here is what you'll need:
- hot glue
- grosgrain ribbon
- buttons
- large push pins or thick magnets
Here is what you do:
- Line a simple clothespin with ribbon. Just the outside. If you put ribbon on the inside, it won't close as tightly.
- Glue on a button or a fun "finding" on the side that opens or the middle of the clothespin.
- Glue a large pushpin or a thick magnet on the back of the clothespin.
The large pushpin or the magnet create enough space between the wall and the clothespin in order for little hands to get a good grip. The pushpin may swivel a bit when you take the toothbrush out. A magnet works well if you decide to put the holder on the mirror. They work better with small toothbrushes than regular sized ones. I get mine at the DOLLAR TREE.
If you make one-please let me know how it works! If you find a better way to fasten them to the wall-let me know! Send pictures!
great idea! I think you should add them to your site!
ReplyDeleteMaybe make them with magnets and sell a small magnet board with them or something? it would have to be a strong magnet..or make a cute board with them already attached and then they just hang the wall hanging???
