I figure if you put stones in the plastic thing it would hold it down to the bottom .I have some of the parts and just looked at lowes and think I found the plastic bottom thing

Just a hint I have this hanging in my pantry also .Cleaning supplies at the bottom ,sponges and dishcloth 's and then ziplock bags and foil and plastic wrap and top ones hold those often used things from my pantry that used to get hidden on the back of the shelves.In the bathroom closet shoes and then soaps ,shampoos and other bathroom cleaning stuff in the bottom holders handy and does not clutter the drawers and under cabinet of my sinks .Hubby likes it because his shaving stuff can be found and all his personal products are easy to find .Wash cloths go in there also .He does not need me to go in and find his stuff

What neat ideas! Yes, I would also prefer to have my diffuser weighted instead of attached.

I saw this idea on Pinterest, using the over-door shoe pockets, very similar to what you've done: use the pockets to hold all the zillions of sports bottles we seem to accumulate. The bottles take up way too much shelf space, but I hate to get rid of them... Works great! The possibilities are endless!

Pretty cool ideas! Wonder how big the holes have to be in the liner?

so far this is it .It was a 1/4 inch adapter with the hole being a 1/2 hole saw bit and the end cap is a 4 inch one .I got these pieces so they would fit my airlines i have now.You need channel locks or something since it goes in the hole tight .I figure this way it needs no sealant .I used a little cooking spray to make it easier also .Next is poking little holes in rubber

I didn't drop it to the bottom .I put a rock inside and then put the rubber in a pan of hot water from the tap to soften it up and then put the clamp on and tried a safety pin and holes were to small so tried a paneling nail and i think that is the right size .I think I have to put a small clamp on the air line because the weight with the rock in it wants to pull the air line off .Maybe a zip tie not sure .it is just to windy out today to try it

Looks darn easy when you show it. Now the holes might be kind of tricky...................I was just posting this when your above post popped up. Show the nail you used next to a dime or other coin for comparison. Are you happy w/the bubbles?
