Collecting STAR markers lids & old toothbrushes for clay projects!

Dear Pack Rats like me,

I am looking for some particular marker lids (for texturing) for our upcoming clay projects (CLAY IS MY FAVORITE!!).  They look like this. . . I am taking BIG, medium, and little ones.

I would love some stiff old toothbrushes too (25 or so)

 

If you have ANYTHING like this or simliar, please let me know.  It would mean the world to me!!
