DIY Hand Soap Dispenser

You may remember our pretty hand soap dispensers with initials? Well, in our house some things need to be super-sized.

See, how much bigger this warehouse-sized hand sanitizer is compared to one that would sit by the bathroom sink?

Nana taught us this fun craft and helped us make hand soap gifts, personalized for teachers.

Then, for Christmas, she gave us a Hodgepodge hand sanitizer – personalized – for us to enjoy. This hand sanitizer bottle sits on the counter in a prominent spot. Now it is pretty! It’s a makeover: Most Used Hand Sanitizer Bottle.

Instructions: We are grateful to Brown Paper Packages for the step-by-step instructions. And there is plenty of time for you to make a pretty and practical gift for Mother’s Day or end-of-the-year teacher gifts. Small or super-sized!

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    This is one of the best DIY items that I’ve seen! It looks nothing like the original. Brilliant job! I love the matte black. What brand and color paint did you use?

      Hi Helen, I love these too! The important step is priming the bottle first, then regular, black spray paint. All the instructions are supplied by Brown Paper Packages in the link above. We used Goo Gone to remove the labels, Krylon spray primer, and Color Place Interior/exterior spray black. I’ve uploaded more photos to this post which I hope will help.
