At Brush Club, we're all about sustainability and eco-friendly DIY projects, which is why we love our biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes. They're a great alternative to traditional plastic ones, helping in reducing plastic waste, a global concern as outlined in the United Nations report on Single-Use Plastics. When it's time to replace them, consider these creative upcycling ideas instead of discarding them. From DIY near me to featured DIY ideas like IKEA hacks, these fun activities will appeal to the Reddit DIY community and fans of shanty2chic, my outdoor plans, and doityourself.
