Cutting boards aren’t just for cutting anymore. In fact, these clever ideas in the video below show us just how versatile cutting boards really are! If you have a plastic cutting board, you can easily transform it into a brush cleaner with just a few well-placed lines of hot glue.

Then, once the glue dries, you can stick the board in a bowl of warm, soapy water and get your brushes nice and clean. It works for makeup brushes as well as paint brushes, though we suggest making a different cleaning board for each kind of brush.

Another unique way to use up two old wooden cutting boards is to make them into this awesome DIY tv tray! I love that this is a custom fit over the arm of your couch. That way, it’s nice and snug and you know it won’t tip over. I’ve seen things like this go for thirty bucks in stores, but you can make your own with just a few wooden cutting boards and some glue!
