ReplyDeleteI am sure this would work for brushes! You might want to make the holes a bit smaller and space the holder section farther apart by making wood dowels longer to accommodate the brushes. If you don't have a way to work with wood you could glue several layer of non-corrigated cardboard together for each holder section. That would hold brushes alright.
Ok Great Thanks.
