DIY hair dryer holder

Those who like to dry their hair in the bathroom are very familiar with the problem of where to put the hairdryer. And numerous detectives, ours and foreign ones, regularly scare people with a hairdryer in water as the most popular method of murder. So what should we do? There is only one way out - to purchase a special holder for a hair dryer or make it yourself.

What kind of stand should a hair dryer have?

First, let's determine what requirements the hair dryer holder must meet.

• Convenient to use, the device can be hung and removed without difficulty.
• Stainless and free of harmful substances that may react with moisture or evaporate when heated.
• Properly positioned so that the appliance cannot fall into the bathtub or sink. And also so that splashes do not fall on it, and at the same time it is accessible.

Magazine holders, as a rule, already meet safety and ergonomic criteria. And when making such a device yourself, you will have to carefully think through and calculate everything.

Materials and tools for DIY

The best materials for a hair dryer holder are plastic, stainless steel and moisture-inert alloys, moisture-resistant plywood and wood.

Depending on the choice of raw materials and the design of the device, you will need different tools.

• Glue and soldering iron when working with plastics and plastics.
• Grinder and welding for metal.
• Jigsaw and wood glue when using plywood or wood.

Let's look at the most budget-friendly and easy-to-make holders and figure out how to make them yourself.

How to make a hair dryer stand

From plastic bottles

The simplest and absolutely inexpensive option is a holder made from unnecessary drink bottles. Both milk and lemonade ones will do. It is enough to measure the length of the hair dryer and cut the cylinder of the required length with ordinary scissors or a knife.

For convenient placement of the device handle, you can make a rectangular or shaped cutout on the front or side. The edges of the cuts need to be melted using an iron or soldering iron to avoid injuring your hands.And.

It is best to place such a device on the wall using a hook or self-tapping screws.

You can decorate the holder using fabric, paint, rhinestones or stickers.

From metal wire

The magazine devices are made in the form of a spiral of elastic wire. If you have the same wire in the garage, you can make the holder yourself.

To work you will need:

• wire;
• welding;
• self-tapping screws;
• round pipe or log.

First you need to bend 2 wire rings using a pipe or a wooden round.

Important! The diameter of the rings should be such that the hair dryer easily fits inside, but does not slip through the rings.

Next, we attach both rings to a vertical base by welding. The distance between them should be 2–3 cm less than the length of the hair dryer to the handle.

The wall part can be made of wire, folded in half so that there is an “eye” on top for fastening with self-tapping screws. Or you can create a real masterpiece “forged” in country style or lace in Provence style.

From plywood

Wood and plywood are the most fertile materials for creating decor. Why not make a hair dryer holder out of them? It can also be a rectangular basket that can accommodate not only a hair dryer, but also a bunch of other useful little things.

You can create a carved masterpiece. Or this cute little fence to decorate the bathroom of a country house.

From drain fittings

If, after installing the plumbing system and drainage equipment, you still have extra splitters, then you can put them to use. They make excellent holders for hair dryers, combs and other useful little things.

There’s no need to do anything here, Simply mount the splitter on a shelf or wall and decorate it to your liking.

Stand design and decor options

When choosing the decor of the holder, you must first of all pay attention to the overall style of the bathroom.

If you use a lot of plastic in your bathroom, bright and functional things, then holders made of fittings or plastic, painted in bright colors, will blend harmoniously into the decor.

For Mediterranean style with an abundance of natural fabrics and marine themes can be used decor with twine or jute nets.

For Provence style better to apply dyeing in light colors, decoupage or lace decor.

In a word, it all depends on your imagination and sense of style.
