Use a Toothbrush Holder as a Vase!


I've had this little idea floating around in my brain for awhile now.


I bought this toothbrush holder a few years ago, but you see, I only have so many toothbrushes that need to be held and those ones already have a very fine holder indeed.

So I just kept it on a shelf and thought it had a pretty shape.


I bought some cheap flowers the other day to make the house feel a little happier and the time was right!


I made sure the little plug in the bottom was in tightly and filled it up with a bit of water. If you try this out, double-check that your plug fits tightly, or place the "vase" on a little plate, just to be sure you don't have any leaks.

 It only took a few stems and it makes for a nice little arrangement. Kind of like a built-in flower frog. Do people even know what those are any more?


Anyway, there you have it! It's a pretty neat trick, right?

That's a great idea Courtnay. I have several flower frogs that were my mum's. They aren't something one sees in stores today unless it is a garden store perhaps.

Smarty pants! Plus I don't have a toothbrush that would even fit those holders.
