Know what's missing in that bathroom of yours? Nooo, not an oh too obvious role of toilet paper. Uh-ah, certainly not that ugly, dirty, filthy toilet plunger. Nope sillies, it's a customized hand pump soap dispenser. I have been working on some majorly time consuming projects- as well as dealing with some medical crap with the hubs- so I thought I'd share one last pre-holiday project I'd "pumped" out.

Since there are a zillion people to thank around the holidays I made some monogrammed soap dispenser bottles. I saw a tutorial fromThe Idea Room about a bazillion months ago and saved the link.

Here's what you need:
-Soap Bottle
-Something to help Remove the Label from the bottle {I used Goo Gone}
-Transparency Sheets
-Monogram
-Laser Printer
-Scissors

4] Cut out the monogram {leaving the space at the bottom that I just mentioned} and Insert into the bottle- I just curved mine, like shown in the pic, and popped it right in the bottle. I used my little finger to push it against the front of the bottle.

There you have it, an easy peasy way to show your gratitude! And, a very nice way to encourage people to wash their filthy little hands.
For anyone wondering- The artichoke tea light holder is from Anthropologie and both soap dishes are from West Elm.
Now get to pasting, printing, placing, and pumping!

ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'm going to have to make one of these! I made a canning jar soap dispenser, but it's now rusted. This will be a good idea for a new one!

I found that Odorless Mineral Spirits will take the adhesive off, even better than Goo-Gone. I just removed the labels on 15 bottles...goo-gone, soaked them in water, used Dawn and Dawn Power Desolver...in the end, peeling the labeling, then rubbing w mineral spirits worked the best.
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to pop over and tell you that this is fantastic! I can't even remember how I found you, but I'm glad I did.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I need to find some transparency sheets!
ReplyDeleteThis project is being featured today on Tell it to Me Tuesday @ Creatively Living!

These are lovely and practical. Remember watching Martha use glass bottle dispensers at her sink. That would last one day at my house. I would knock it over and it would break. What a great alternative.Elegant and handy.
