Bru it for a Brush Holder

'Bru' it for a Brush Holder

I was searching for a Tooth brush holder that matches my Guest Bath decor and linen. I was almost tired after looking in every other Home store and then decided to make one myselves when i gazed at the empty Bru bottle ready to be tossed into the storage.

I collected a thick brown colored paper matching my shower curtain.

A painting brush and a brown oil color tube

Strong glue

A pair of scissors

A pencil

I cleaned the bottle, peeled the bottle clear of the label and sticky glue. While it was drying well, i drew patterns similar to those on my shower curtain with a pencil on the brown paper. Once the patterns were cut, i pasted them on the dry bottle using the strong glue ( can be Mod-podge or any strong glue). After they stuck well to the bottle surface and dried, i also painted them with a matching brown oil color ( inorder to stop the paper from color fading ). At this stage, the bottle needs to be set aside for a couple of days as oil color takes longer to dry. Last step is to coat the patterns with Mod-podge to give them a glossy and water-resistant finish., i initially tried coating them with clear nail polish but that couldnot stand the constant water spills from the tap. And atlast that coffee jar is ready to hold tooth brushes and goes well with my Guest bath decor too. No one new it was home decorated. You can transform the other glass jars in your stock into pencil, utensil, paint brush, sketch pen holders....go ahead now !!!
