DIY: Make and personalize your liquid soap dispenser

Because many of you like to create with your own hands, alone or with your children, or are involved in sustainable development and therefore interested in recycling, LOVE&SOAP offers you an idea to make a unique soap dispenser using your favorite bottle, a jar, a tin can or even an empty bottle that you have kept, because it is too beautiful...

The basic material for your creation:

• A pump
• A bottle, a vial with a neck adapted to your pump or a jar
• A straw
• A chisel
• A drill

Making your liquid soap dispenser:

The first step is to get yourself a pump, either on an old bottle that you no longer like or by buying it alone: ​​You will then have the pleasure of treating yourself to the pump that you want given the many models on sale, plastic or stainless steel, straight or curved spout..., etc. In short, it's up to you to choose.

After you have decided on the bottle or jar you want to use, check that the pump fits the diameter of the neck.

Now you need to check the length of the plastic tube of your pump compared to the size of your bottle. If it is too short, the straw comes into play to solve this problem. The choice of its color can be in accordance with your future dispenser or with the liquid soap that you will pour into it. If you have trouble making it hold, cut small notches to widen it and add a touch of glue for more security. All you have to do is cut the straw to the right size.

To also make this DIY with a jar, it's the same principle but you have to pierce its lid to insert the pump. The drill is welcome to accomplish this work. Then, apply extra strong glue on the back of the lid and let dry for 30 minutes.

There you have it, the hardest part is done! Now, enjoy:

Decorate and personalize your unique soap dispenser.

Glue is glitter, shells, personalized label, paint with a brush or spray, pearls, plastic flowers, rope for a nautical look, wool, fabric and why not insert a small funny or glamorous object... your imagination has no limits.

Your child will be delighted to participate and, what's more, it will be much more fun for him to wash his hands or help you with the dishes if his own creation is on the sink or in the shower.

Remember that your soap dispenser must be waterproof so be careful with the materials you use for decorations. It would be a shame to ruin your work!

That's it, you can fill your dispenser with the soap of the color of your choice and admire the result!
