The Ugly Before

My family has always been of fan of foaming hand and dish soaps because, hello, instant lather! Those on-demand bubbles are just the neatest little timesavers.

Too bad the bottles they come in are not exactly stylish and don’t really blend in with a room’s decor, amiright?

The Upgraded Foaming Soap Dispenser Bottles

Luckily, attractive glass soap bottles (both regular and foaming) can instantly fancy up your kitchen or bathroom.

I snagged a couple of this kind to replace the current monstrosities that have been living by our kitchen sink. They’re a nice heavy-weight glass bottle with a screw-on oil rubbed bronze dispenser. Best of all, they’re affordable too.

And the neato trick for getting the store-bought foaming soap into these babies is…pouring in the soap from the original (and ugly) bottles!

I know. Mind blown.

Or you can make your own foaming soap concoction by mixing one part regular liquid soap with five parts water. This lovely recipe also came with the bottles. I’ll have to try it sometime (and save a little money that way, too).

The Pretty Foaming Soap Dispenser Designs

Since I’m obsessed with my beloved Silhouette Cameo, I knew I would put it to good use with this little project.

The only question was…should I cut out a stencil and use etching cream (REALLY FANCY), or go the easier route and just cut out decals in some etched glass vinyl (FAKE REALLY FANCY)??

I was feeling lazy so I took the shortcut method and made some fake really fancy decals.

Here are the designs I created in Silhouette Studio along with the cut settings I used for etched glass vinyl:

UPDATE ABOUT FONTS!

*A lot* of people have asked what fonts I used for these decals so they can make their own additional labels for hand lotion, body lotion, etc., so here they are!

The pretty hand-scripted font is called Nafasyah (I used the brushed file but removed all the inner brush stroke bits before cutting), and the ‘Soap’ font is called Smoothy Sans.

And you can also use these cut files (download them below) as stencils and actually ETCH THE GLASS using etching cream.

Check out a couple posts where I share how to make etched glasses!

Cutting Out The Etched Glass Vinyl Decals

Next, I pulled out my handy vinyl storage organizer and found a sheet of some leftover etched glass vinyl, then loaded it into my Silhouette Cameo.

Just moments later, my decals were cut and weeded:

After cleaning off the bottles with some rubbing alcohol, I started applying the decals using some washi tape. No need for transfer tape here!

(And please forgive me for showcasing my super old but insanely comfortable pajama pants in this photo. Hey, I do my best crafting in my PJs.)

Our New and Improved Pretty Foaming Soap Dispensers!

Here are our new pretty foaming soap dispensers, looking all filled and fancy. MUCH better than before, huh?

And have I said the word “fancy” enough in this post? No? Good. Didn’t think so.

Now, whenever I walk through the kitchen, I say to my husband, “Just LOOK at our fancy soap pumps! Have you ever felt so high class in your life??”

He’s still trying to wrap his head around the fact that the Dawn foaming dish soap we’ve been using for years is actually NOT blue. Just the bottle is. Now he feels like his whole life has been a lie. Poor fella. ;)

Here’s a little before-and-after for you. What a simple yet amazing upgrade.

Doing the dishes has never looked better. ;)
