AskTrees How would you make a floating ashtray?

My partner smokes and one day last year I had an idea to make a floating ashtray and he likes to smoke in the bathroom and loves his baths but often has to lean out the bath to get to the ashtray

I’m trying to think of ways to make a floating ashtray and my only idea in my head is a pool float which won’t be any good

I would love any and all suggestions so much! Thanks!

As long as it isn't a heavy ashtray, some PVC would work

Does your tub not have an edge wide enough to set an ash tray on? I've never had this problem, I just set them on the edge of the tub.

I used a small donut inflatable and it had a perfect indent to put my ashtray in it and it floated!
