It’s amazing how there’s actually a lot of things you can do with scrap wood. One weekend, my husband and I were having our second cup of coffee when he suddenly stood up. Surprised, I asked him where he was going half-way through his drink. He said he’s making a toothbrush holder.

It was so random that I found it almost funny. After several hours, he came in proudly showing me his work. He was, indeed, holding a wooden toothbrush holder which he made at zero cost. Isn’t it amazing?
If you have scrap wood, this is a great project to work on. You can make several and then wrap them nicely, give them out as presents. You can stencil in names, too, to make the gift more personalized.
