Brighten Your Bathroom: How to Make a DIY Mason Jar Toothbrush Holder

You don’t need to be a craft expert to create something useful and visually appealing for your home. A mason jar toothbrush holder is one of those easy DIY projects that turns an ordinary item into something charming and practical. Plus, it keeps your counter neat—and adds a bit of character to your bathroom. Here’s how to make your own in about 20 minutes.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 mason jar (pint size works best)
  • 1 piece of chicken wire or metal mesh
  • Scissors or wire cutters
  • Pencil or pen
  • Spray paint or acrylic paint (optional)
  • Clear sealant spray (optional)

Step 1: Get Your Jar Ready

Start with a clean, dry mason jar. If you like the vintage look, leave it as is. If you want to match your bathroom colors, give it a quick coat of spray paint. Soft whites, blues, or matte black all work well. Let it dry completely before moving on.

Step 2: Cut the Wire or Mesh

Use the jar lid ring (the metal outer part) as a guide. Place it on the mesh and trace around it with a pencil. Cut along the line carefully using scissors or wire cutters. You’ll end up with a circle that fits snugly into the ring. Tip: If the edges feel sharp, bend them inward slightly so they don’t stick out.

Step 3: Fit It Together

Place the mesh circle inside the metal ring, then screw the ring onto the jar. You now have a grid-like top—perfect for sliding toothbrushes through. You can adjust the mesh holes if needed, making them wider for electric toothbrushes or narrower for kids’ brushes.

Step 4: Add Finishing Touches

If you painted your jar, a quick spray of clear sealant helps protect it from moisture. For a farmhouse touch, tie a bit of twine or ribbon around the neck of the jar. That’s it—you’re done.

Step 5: Put It to Use

Pop in your toothbrushes, set it by the sink, and enjoy that small hit of satisfaction that comes from making something with your own hands.

A Tiny Project That Makes a Big Difference

This project demonstrates that small DIY ideas can go a long way in making your space feel personal and cohesive. It’s cheap, easy, and adds a warm, handmade touch to a room that often gets overlooked. So next time you reach for your toothbrush, you’ll be reminded that you don’t need fancy tools—or much time—to make something beautiful.
