What are the measurements for the 3 rectangles!

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
The fun thing about this project is that there isn’t exact measurements needed for the rectangles- they just need to be the same size.

What size do you cut the laminate cotton for the brush holder

This is actually up to you. Around a 9″x11″ rectangle is similar to what was made in the tutorial, however you can cut your pieces to suit whatever it is you want to put in your holder.
Hope this helps!
