10 Crafty Uses for an Old Toothbrush

July 8, 2013 by Cheap Eats and Thrifty Crafts

Look in your recycling bin or trashcan. Chances are, there are few things in there that you could use to make recycled crafts. Stop tossing money away and look at reusing and recycling things that you’d normally just toss away, including old toothbrushes, toilet paper rolls, and quilting scraps. If you love crafting and saving money, you’ll love these great ideas that take old junk and turn it into something new.

Some of the best projects come from upcycling old, used things or things that are left over from previous crafts. You can also buy something really cheap and turn it into something fancy. With your imagination (and a glue gun) there’s really now limit to what you can do with something you’d otherwise throw away.

To make sure that you never miss another budget project or recipe, click here to find out how you can sign up for our free Cheap Eats and Thrifty Crafts newsletter. With just a few clicks, you can have projects and recipes like these delivered to your inbox every week!
