How To Make Pvc Hair Dryer Holder

In-cupboard hair dryer holder

Are you sick of my bath yet?

Can you hang in there for one last post on how I organized information technology past making an in-cupboard hair dryer holder?

Prior to my bath makeover the other solar day, I was using a shop-bought hair dryer holder that just hung over my bathroom cupboard door – and it worked perfectly – except that over time it scuffed and scratched up my cabinetry. While painting my bath cabinets wasn't a ton of piece of work, it'south certainly not a job I want to have to do over and over once more considering the metal hooks continue scratching and chipping away at the new paint task….

then I decided to build a DIY (in-cupboard) hair dryer holder that would permanently reside on the inside of my closet door.

DIY hair dryer holder

You lot will need:

½" plywood cutting to ix″ x ix″
½ plywood cut to 9″ x 3″
½" plywood cutting to 9″ 10 one″
jig saw or scroll saw
drill
1″ woods screws
wood gum
mitre saw
sandpaper

I started my DIY hair dryer holder by copying the example from my metallic 1 – and cut my ½" plywood down to 9″ by 9″ foursquare.

I then measured in from each top corner 2 ½" and then downward two ½" to requite me an angled edge and cut information technology on the mitre saw. This angle is so that y'all don't bonk your legs on a sharp corner when you lot use your hair dryer, and so that in that location isn't extra wood in the way when you open and close your cupboard door.

I drilled a pigsty where I wanted each of my circles to be (the 3″ for my hair dryer itself and the 2″ ones for brushes) then cutting the rest of the circumvolve/s out with a roll saw, but a jig saw volition work but as well.

You can see I was a bit indecisive virtually where I wanted the placement of each pigsty and how many I wanted.

(I bought a router final week, so I did a piddling playing on the edges of my DIY pilus dryer holder.)

Adhere your nine″ ten 3″ lath to the back of your dryer rack past pre-drilling, using wood glue and then screwing into identify with 1″ wood screws (from the back).

Because you'll be dropping your hair dryer into the slot on a regular basis, I decided to reinforce the rack section by adding a 9″ ten 1″ strip of ½" plywood underneath, screwed upwardly into the rack from the bottom.

Sand smooth and pre-drill holes in the back for hanging.

I still had some bluish paint leftover from the bathroom makeover, then I gave my hair dryer holder a coat so it would blend in with everything else.

Check for the thickness of your cupboard doors before choosing the length of screw to attach (trust me, I learned this the hard fashion and put a pigsty through the front end of my cupboard – ugh!)

Then clean, and then organized – happy sigh!

I don't use a flat-iron so I'm not sure if this would work or not? I guess y'all could store one here if you lot cut ii holes shut together, one for each arm, and so stored it (one time completely cooled).

For my purposes, I usually leave my pilus dryer plugged in and run the string through the top of the closet door, so this DIY hair dryer holder is perfect for keeping everything shut at mitt and however tucked out of sight at the same time. My friend told me that her Dyson hair dryer fit nicely in here as well., so it should fit a range of hair dryers.
