Save your old toothbrush and turn it into something crafty that you can wear! With plastic toothbrushes it is easy to mold any way you want by heating them up in hot water; specifically round shaped and wear as a funky bracelet. I will admit in middle school these were the thing to wear. My Mom is a dental assistant so toothbrushes were easily and Freely available, she gave me the idea to remove the bristles and make something out of them. My favorite were the glittery ones which were usually children’s toothbrushes.
