This
week for Trash to Treasure Thursday I show you how to make a simple
push broom out of a toothbrush. Once again this is a super easy
project although it does require some cutting (you will need either
an Easy Cutter or a small saw) and a drill.
The
hardest part of this project was finding a toothbrush that had all
white bristles and I had to settle for one made of clear plastic
though I would have preferred to have one that was a solid color. Not
a huge deal though.
Be
very careful when cutting the head off the toothbrush it cuts fairly
easily but does take a bit of pressure. Same with drilling the hole
for the handle, take your time and ask for help if you are not well
experienced with using a drill. I used a length of 1/8” dowel for
the handle, if you don't have any you can use a wooden skewer from
the kitchen just a easily. Just be sure to check the drill bit with
the handle to get the right size hole.
You
will need a glue that can hold the plastic and wood together. I used
527 glue but E6000 would also work. I think the secret is look for a
slightly thick clear glue that smells bad, those seem to do the best
for this kind of job.
Have
fun with this easy project and check back next week for another trash
to treasure project.
So cute!
