How to Make a Toothpick Holder
While you can buy a toothpick holder by paying a small amount of money, making one at home is a fun little project, that not only allows you to make a one-of-a-kind toothpick holder but also utilize various spare crafting items in your pantry. You can also involve your children in this for a fun afternoon.
Things Required:
– 1.5-inch terracotta pot
– Cotton cording
– Felt
– Kitchen shears or Scissors
– Hot glue gun
– Craft glue

Cover the outer surface of the terracotta pot with a thin layer of craft glue and let it dry completely.
