The Magnificent Mason Jar
In recent years mason jars have been a decor must-have item for at least one room in the house! Join the trend with our DIY mason jar toothbrush holder. This easy project will leave your bathroom looking fashionable in no time. All you need is a mason jar, chicken wire, and wire cutters. Take the 2-part lid off of the mason jar. Take the flat metal circular part of the lid. Line it up against the wire and use the wire cutters to cut an identical circle from the chicken wire. Now place the circular-cut chicken wire on top of the mason jar and screw on the top part of the mason jar lid. Bam! Now you have a brand new toothbrush holder! Let your child decorate it with permanent markers, string, stickers, or even a little paper mache to add a little extra originality!
The Always Incredible Animal Friend
