I'm already trying out so many of them, Thank you. As for this post, I just wanted to say that I make these bracelets occasionally, and I've found that soaking the tip of the brushes in the water as it's starting to warm up really helps soften the bristles and makes it easier to pull them out. Then when it comes time to bend them, you might try just grabbing each end with some pliers and bending without a glass bottle. It could be that the slightly cooler temperature of the glass mixed with the heat of the fresh boiled brushes is what makes it so hard to bend. It does take a couple of dippings back to the boiling water, but it works if you wanted to try it again.

It worked great. The only difference I can see is that the toothbrush I used was just a plain, clear-ish plastic handle. It wasn't "rubbery" or very thick either. Maybe that has something to do with it? I do remember it bent very easily... But it looks like you guys had fun anyway. And wow, that's a lot of "old toothbrushes" :) I made one of these a looong time ago, when I was a kid. It worked great.

When I pulled this post up I first scanned down the photos and all I could think is "What in the world is she up to?!?!" Too bad the bracelets didn't turn out but you get an A for effort. And the fishing expedition looks like fun. Very funny.
