Jazzin Up the Soap

Have you ever wanted to make washing dishes more fun?  I saw a tutorial on House of Hepworths and fell head over heels for her… soap dispenser.  I forgot to take a picture of my unpainted Dawn Direct Foam bottle so you can check hers out if you would like.

First, find two bottles of expired food in your refrigerator.  These bottles will serve as the holders for the two parts of the bottle.  It will make you feel slightly less guilty to throw away an unopened bottle of salad dressing because you put it to good use for this project.  I made a little skirt out of a cupcake wrapper so that the white tube that sits inside the bottle wouldn’t get paint on it and discolor my soap.

I spray painted outside when it was 12 degrees.  It was one of the worst decisions of my life.  My left hand was coated in spray paint after I accidently sprayed the can in the wrong direction and I could not get the paint off for three days.  I did not document this because I did not wish to make my camera suffer as a result of this poor decision so just envision me spray painting in 5 inches of snow.

Here is the freshly painted bottle with two coats of Krylon plastic paint in “Textured Shimmer.”  I used my Silhouette SD to add the T.

My jazzed up soap bottle has a place to call home and I can look forward  dread doing the dishes a little less.
