    Default container from old toothpaste tubes?

    Don't know. I thought this was cute. However, I also think that if I put this out, I'd have to cover it as DH would NOT like it. I do really like the idea of reusing the toothpaste tubes though! I wonder if you could do something else with them?

    What do you think?

    LOL! I've got other trash that would be less effort if I needed a toothbrush holder.

    Default Another use...

    I cut both ends off my tubes and use them as knife sheaths for larger sharp knives.

    I think it looks pretty neat. Great for a kids bathroom. I would have never thought of use the tubes this way!
