You may have noticed that I don’t put many DIY craft projects on this site – okay, there are actually none. There is a reason for that: I am not a very crafty person. I love looking at ideas on Pinterest and dreaming of doing the projects on my own, but I don’t really try DIY crafts of my own.
There is one thing in my bathroom that really bothers me and it has motivated me to try a DIY project. I don’t have a toothbrush holder. I just put my toothbrush in a small kitchen glass and put the toothpaste on the (almost non-existent) counter. I decided that I could do something about this and set out to come up with an easy idea that didn’t involve a store-bought toothbrush holder.
How to make a mason jar toothbrush holder
Since this is my first crafty DIY home project, I decided to make it as easy as I possibly could… and I did! This is crazy easy and can be completed in less than 5 minutes. I purchased my supplies at Michael’s, but you can also find them online at Amazon (affiliate links below).
Supplies:
Directions:
- I removed the mason jar lids since we wanted to use the jars as water glasses. However, if you do not want to use them as glasses, you could take the circular lid insert out and keep the outer ring on top of the jar for more decoration.
- Write Mr and Mrs on the chalkboard labels. It may take a few tries to get it to look like what you want… that is what is great about the erasable chalk – it just wipes off!
- You could also choose to write your names, or His and Hers. If you just use one jar, you could put your last name or initial, or maybe write the word ‘smile’.
- Peel the labels off the backing and center on the side of the jar with no raised writing on it. Press firmly to adhere to jar.
Get back your wedding day smiles
As you can see in the photo above, my husband and I had beautiful white smiles on our wedding day! I’m sure most of you did as well. My smile has never looked as good as it did on that day. I’d love to get it back, but I don’t like spending the time or money. Recently, while shopping at Walmart, I discovered Colgate® Optic White® Express White in the toothpaste aisle. The shiny red boxes really caught my attention!
After reading the box, I found that I could get whiter teeth in just three days*. Plus, I didn’t have to do any extra work – all I had to do was brush my teeth! How is it possible for this toothpaste to give you a whiter smile in just 3 days? Well, Colgate® Optic White® Express White has twice the professionally recommended whitening ingredient** – Hydrogen Peroxide.
Both my husband and I look forward to getting our wedding white smiles back. Now Colgate® Optic White® Express White toothpaste will be the only toothpaste in our Mr & Mrs mason jar toothbrush holders!
How about you? Do you want your wedding smile back? Will you be adding Colgate® Optic White® Express White to your brushing routine?
*For best results, use as directed for 4 weeks

I like the idea of repurposing a jar to use. I have to try these chalkboard markers!

confession: We don’t have a holder for our toothbrushes and toothpaste either. But I do have a shelf full of mason jars! I see a DIY project in my future now!! (and we just started using Express White and I am loving the results!) #client

I love using mason jars for anything! We use them for many things all around our home. Sadly, I never thought to use them for toothbrush holders!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
This is a neat little idea! I always love Mr. and Mrs. things!
Lenze says
Such a simple and cute idea.
Anne says
My daughter and I share a plastic cup. I definitely like the look of a mason jar better though.
Tonia @TheChattyMhomma says
These are such a cute and inexpensive idea. I love picking up mason jars from Dollar Tree just in case I run across a fan craft like this.
Beth@KCMompreneurs says
Such a cute idea for toothbrush holders. I need to whiten my smile.
Kim Croisant says
What a darling idea!!! I have jars and I have those stickers!! AND…you both have beautiful smiles.
Rosey says
That’s a simple, wonderful, easy to make idea on the jars! I like it a lot!!!
Mary O'Malley says
What a cute idea! This would be good for couples who like to use different toothpastes. Not to mention it would look absolutely neat in the bathroom. I think that this would also be a great project for multiple child families too!
Gina says
Very cute idea! I love crafts with mason jars
Debbie Denny says
Love the labels. I I have my teeth, but part of them are store bought. lol
fancygrlnancy (Nancy Partin) says
Cute Idea! I love the chalk board labels.
Pam says
I love how popular mason jars and chalkboard labels are now. They’re both so fun to work with.

This would be great to set out for a newlywed couple coming to visit for the holidays etc. So easy to make.
Marcie W. says
This is such an adorable idea and would make an amazing gift. I pinned these on my projects board so I can keep them in mind for the next wedding celebration I attend.
TerriAnn van Gosliga says
I just got some mini adhesive chalkboard! I’ll have to try this on some of our glasses so we don’t get mixed up. Right now, we just use a color Sharpie which looks horrible 😛
Colleen says
Cute idea, it is often hard to find something that holds both brush and toothpaste. My hubby and I have separate bathrooms (his is inside the bathroom, mine is a sitting room outside) so we have our own holders.
Betsy Barnes says
I love these, so very cute! I am definitely going to add this to my list of DIY projects! 🙂
Rachel Ferrucci says
That’s a super cute idea and you should get your craft on more! It gave me ideas for other jars and who doesn’t love a white smile!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
Those are super cute. What a fun DIY project idea 🙂

I’ve always wondered where to get those chalkboard ( totally love them ) labels. I even want to do a chalkboard accent on one of my walls.
