 Diy Animal Print Soap Dispenser  

Easy Animal Print Soap Dispenser 

I have been wanting an animal print soap dispenser for the guest bathroom, so when a disposable soap dispenser became available I decided to make my own. 

This diy soap dispenser was so easy to make, and I think it turned out super cute. I had everything on hand so it cost me nothing to make.

Start off by giving your empty soap dispenser two coats of the tan color paint letting dry between each coat.

Using a paint brush start dabbing on black spots of paint fairly close together.

Once the black spots of your animal print soap dispenser is dry start adding some burnt umber paint to the center of each black spot.   

  

Let dry throughly. 

 

Now water down a dab of your antiquing medium and working a section at a time.

Brush on and gently wipe off with a clean rag.

Once dry seal your soap dispenser with two coats of Mod Podge. Letting each coat dry throughly. 

  

Fill your bottle with soap and your good to go. Wasn’t that easy?

    This is an awesome idea! It is one of those things that you say why didn’t I think of that! I love the black plunger, I have never seen one black before and was wondering if this was something you would consider painting to get the right colour or do you think this would be too fiddly?
    Thanks for writing this awesome post!

      Thanks Sharon! My soap dispenser came with the black pump, I don’t think if you painted it that it would withstand the pumping action and the paint would wear off pretty quick.

      Thanks you Pili! I wanted a soap dispenser to match my theme in the guest bath and couldn’t find one I liked so I decided to make my own. And very happy how it turned out. Now I’m working on another project for the bathroom, but not going to tell what it is. Hope to have it ready before long.

    Linda this is a great idea. I love the technique you used with the antiquing agent. I’ve never seen that before. I also like the idea of being able to reuse the soap dispenser instead of throwing it out. Now you have this one for your bathroom and it matches all your decor.

      Thanks Mary! I love my antiquing gel, I use it a lot. When something just isn’t quite dark enough or look aged enough for me I break out the antiquing gel. Soon I will have another project that I’m working on in my guest bath to show, and I used the antiquing gel as well.

    […] first thought was to make one for my craft room, then I thought why not make the animal print Valiance for the guest bath. It will match the shower curtain I made and the other animal print […]
