Does anyone make a stand that would attach to the wall? I live in an Apartment and its a small pedestal sink with no counter space other then my tooth paste and soap. So I figured i would buy a wall mounted stand, thought it would be easy but I was wrong. So if anyone knows of a wall mounted stand or a DIY method I would really appreciate it. I've been searching for days and have given up and figured I would head to Home Depot for some kind of solution. My main concern it to hang the brush upside down to dry out.

Here's my version of home-made brush stand
Here's how I made them:
Here's the deal. My wife had these coasters that she graciously parted with. I used Zap-A-Gap (a waterproof crazy glue that I use in fly tying) to adhere the wine bottle corks to the coasters (I chose to center the cork on the base; I suppose it would be fine, for example, to set it on a corner and have the brush hang over center of coaster instead.) I then cut a piece of wire hanger and shaped its roundness on one end of wire using cans of different diameters to accomodate the different-size brushes, and bent the other end straight to stick into cork. I then dipped the exposed rough end of wire (at the bend) in Loon Hard Head (a pseudo epoxy used in fly tying to finish head of flies) and allowed it to dry while stuck in a piece of styrofoam. I then painted the end covered in Loon Hard head. Once it dried, I added a drop of Zap-A-Gap to the end of the wire that was inserted into the opening already created when wine bottle was opened and positioned its orientation as I desired. The end

you can also loop a shoelace or similar around them and hang them from something.
its a big can of worms, but about half of B&B dont think you need to have your brush upside down for it to dry

Honestly, the upside down drying thing is not necessarily all that important. Far more important is that the brush end up in a well ventilated area. Best by far is near a window to hasten the drying.

some of the acrylic stands i've seen would allow a screw through the back of them to attach to a wall
looking for links now
here it is

"free standing or can be mounted by the screw hole or self-adhesive backing included"
$5.95 - and in a variety of colors
good luck!

WOW very nicely done.
i have one of shane's stands and it's perfect
you could probably drill a hole to mount to a wall - or use an adhesive of some sort

Here's a project I've had on my to-do list for awhile . . .

Great idea though I think I'd rather use dowels instead of metal hooks (there are chemical reactions when incompatible metals touch).

Flyfisherman, love the stand! Nice work! Are those hangers coated with plastic? If so great idea.
