How to make a mason jar toothbrush holder:
Use the method of your choice to cut the chicken wire to the same size as the round lid portion of the two-piece jar cap. You can use a strong pair of scissors or I have these multipurpose scissors that work perfectly.
Add the chicken wire to the band part of the lid and screw it on top of your mason jar as shown.
Add in your toothbrushes and you are ready to add this to your bathroom. Much better than a plain old toothbrush holder don’t ya think?

You can also do this same thing with a pint jar. I am not crazy about the toothbrushes being able to touch each other so the quart jar works well for our home. What do you think? Is a mason jar toothbrush holder for you?

very cool and effective!
my problem with toothbrush holders is that water drips down the toothbrush and congeals at the bottom of the holder and goes all slimy! yuck!
but now this has given me an idea to upturn a biscuit or tea tin and poke holes the top so it can drain properly at the bottom!! 😀
Great idea, using a mason jar and chicken wire. I love it. Thanks!
This is really cute!! Where do you get chicken wire that comes in small pkgs like that?
Whoops! Sorry y’all! Get your chicken wire here: http://www.consumercrafts.com/store/details/catalog/decor-home-metal-sheets/6614-100
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely adorable! I’m definitely pinning this for later!
I love this! I might just make it b/c my holder is icky!
Clever, clever, clever. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for the mason jar HOA!
Hi Angie! Just wanted to let you know that I featured this post on my Facebook page during April and people loved it. It made it into the top 20 for the month, of which I always do a round up. So today I’ve featured you on my blog as well (link below). Thanks for such an awesome post! http://craftsbyamanda.com/2014/05/great-craft-ideas-may-2014.html
I think it is neat BUT I would want it so that the toothbrushes can go in the other way so that they are not exposed. I do NOT like them collecting dust and stuff that is in the air – and other people touching them when they are trying to get out their own. If you do not put too many in one jar then they would not touch each other if put in head first. Any thoughts or ideas on how to do this? Will they go in head first using the same chicken wire or is the space too small? I sorta dry my brush off a little before storing so ooey gooey would not be a problem for me. Thanks for any idea to solve my problem. 😉
I would still keep a cover on the brush head – but I am a bit germaphobe
Would be great to arrange flowers in…..the chicken wire would act sorta like a flower frog to keep the flowers in place.
Just wondering if the chicken wire rusts? It’s so cute, I want to do this and have been looking for a new toothbrush holder:)
I had no issues with the chicken wire rusting! 🙂
Love this idea! Would look perfect in my rustic bathroom. Thanks! 🙂
This is super cute. My only hold back is the icky stuff that accumulates in the bottom of toothbrush holders. Wish I could come up with something this cute that would drain.
This idea can also be used as a vase for flowers. 😉 Enjoy!
