Hand Soap {Labels}

By 3 Comments

If the zombie apocalypse descends upon us tomorrow I totally prepared – as long as the only things you need to survive are spools of ribbon, hot glue sticks, Cheetos, and antibacterial foaming hand soap from Bath & Body Works. I keeps a large stock of all those items on hand at all times. If you go into any of our bathrooms and open up the cupboards below the sink you will find a reserve of hand soap, probably 2-3 bottles, at any given time. They might be half used, they may be holiday specific, they may even be full and 3 years old – you never know! But when we were having people over to watch the Gators last weekend I wanted to make one of them into Gator Soap! 

I decided the best, fastest, & easiest way was just to make a new label for the bottle. I opened up the Silhouette Studio software and racked my brain. After taking careful measurements of the current label I drew a trapezoid roughly the same dimensions (a little larger so it would cover, but not too large that it wouldn’t fit on the bottle font) and filled it in with a football-esque background, added some text and a little logo. Print it out on sticker paper, hand cut the baby out, and stuck it over my label! 

Now, if I would have thought ahead and been really smart I would have print it out on waterproof paper, but I didn’t think that far ahead (water + regular paper = disaster). However, if you dont have waterproof paper (b/c really who does besides those of us waiting for the Craft Zombie apocalypse) you could just cut out your shape, and before you peel the backing off, lay a piece of clear packing tape over the front of your design and trim the tape to the shape of your label. THEN peel off the label and stick it your bottle and you should have a waterproof label!!

 While I was in my half bath taking photos of soap (which is so normal to do) I decided to take you on a tour of my mostly DIY bathroom makeover!

 This mirror frame is from Mirror Mates and I assembled and installed in while my husband was out of town on business (I might have also not told him I even ordered it in the first place). Guess how long it took him to realize something was different.

 This is just a re-DIY’ed DIY that I blogged about here.

 How fun are these little wooden pennants that I painted with homemade chalk paint and distressed with vaseline?

 The shell piece was found at Home Goods, although you could DIY that.

 This is also a re-DIY’ed DIY piece that I blogged about HERE.

And this is just a DIY piece that I haven’t redone yet that I blogged about here.
So there you go you.  A fun way to personalize soap & a little tour of my half bath!!
