Soap Dispenser

I came up with this simple idea to use a bottle from a thrift store, add a little paint and a pump, and turn it into a soap dispenser. It was actually pretty hard to find pumps in a local store so I ordered online and bought a few extra to have on hand.
The pattern inspiration came from the shower curtain and vinyl flooring in my brother's bathroom.
Soap dispensers you buy at the store usually cost $12 minimum and this was only about $3 worth of supplies. The painting was difficult on the curved surface and didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but if you find cute enough pieces to start with, you don't need to paint. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for more things to convert into soap dispensers.

  1. Super cute! I think I may need to start looking for bottles to try that with.
