The Great Soap Makeover || painted soap pump

So, is there any way I can make this look better?

DSCN9019

You betcha! Check this out!!

painted_soap_pump_hoh

(Look familiar? Yup, I’m on a vinyl tangent at the moment. Check out the knife block post for more deets on vinyl.)

Yes, I know, I know. It’s totally awesome. Don’t hate!

I’m gonna show you how you can make your own. YOU CAN DO IT. This project is EASY.

~*~*~*~*~*~

First: Wash the bottle out really well (I pored the soap into a little dish while I was prepping this craft). Also, use some Goo-Gone to remove all the stickers.

Second: Find something for them to sit on while you spray paint. Liquid Children’s Tylenol and a bottle of Pepto-Bismol pills works great but isn’t mandatory. 🙂

DSCN8269

Third: Spray paint using paint for PLASTIC stuff.

DSCN8272

Is my paint setup looking familier? Yes, this project dates back to my When Bad Ideas Happen to Good People post. Oops.

DSCN8943

So I wasn’t lovin’ the solid black look so once they were painted with the plastic paint I added a coat of regular ORB (not made specifically for plastic). I had tape around the top so if you look closely you can see the difference that ORB makes. The top is NOT with ORB, the bottom part IS. Kapish?!

DSCN8945

Also, I wasn’t feelin’ the solid blackish ORB look either so I used a brownish metallic for the top pump part. It’s hard to tell but the pump and the base are two slightly different colors. It gives just enough contrast.

And now, another tutorial on how to apply vinyl letters.

DSCN8972
DSCN8973DSCN8976

From L to R: Remove staples. Trim off about a 1/4″ of the backing. Position your letter exactly where you want it. It should stick at the bottom where you removed a section of the backing (I do this with bumper stickers too. It helps to get it placed perfectly w/o bubbles).

DSCN8978DSCN8980DSCN8981DSCN8982

From L to R: Get the vinyl positioned exactly where you want it. Slowly roll the backing off the sticker as you smooth the sticker onto your surface. Once it’s applied smooth it out really well with a scraper. Now Slowly peel off the top sticker layer revealing only the vinyl.

It is that easy!

DSCN8990

Now go and craft something great and show me your results!!

Do you recognize that little glass jar with the jelly beans? It’s from my Keepin’ Myself Busy post. A little dishwasher action and now it’s an adorable little candy jar… that is until I think of some cool craft for it.

And just for fun, I <3 vinyl!

    ❓

    Ok, I really like this idea, but how durable is it? I want to try this, but if it isn’t gonna last…
    won’t the paint wash off after a while?

    I am not too familiar with paint for plastic-
    that is why the questions.

    Yours looks really nice and the fact that it matches your knife block.. Cool!

    these would make cute gift ideas —

    I just have to know…Did the paint last?? I use the same foaming pump soap, and would LOVE to do this!!! But, oh! All the effort if it doesn’t last! 🙂 Also–where did you purchase your vinyl letters? With the staples in it, I am wondering if you can purchase them from a craft store? Even typing that sounds like a silly question. But, I have just never noticed them there. I have thought you could only special order online, or from a friend who sells that stuff…

    I LOVE your crafty projects!!! Thanks for all the inspiration!

    Love this project! I’m thinking of making seasonal ones for our half bathroom using my Cricut to cut out leaves, snowflakes, flowers, etc out of vinyl! Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know where to find your project!

    Beautiful! I’m gonna give it a whirl too. I will say, though, that we have reused these bottles (un-beautified, just took off the stickers) for handsoap and “foamy bath soap” for the kids, and the bottles themselves didn’t hold up as well as I would have hoped.

    Still, even if it holds up “only” for a dozen refills, it’s worth it just ’cause it looks sooo good!

    I made the spray painted soap containers. Turned out cute, but could have been better. They were a little messy for my taste. Here’s the picture.

    Love this. I do have two questions though. Is the block for your knives wood or plastic? I have a wood one and would like to do the same thing. Also where can I find the letters? Any arts and crafts store should have them right?
    Thanks

      The block is wood. As for the letters, I ordered mine online from a vinyl shop, but I’ve seen them at craft stores. Or you can buy a stencil and just paint the letter on.

    How do you get your paint to not bubble? I tried the rustoleum on two different bottles, and it bubbled on both of them. It was not a “dawn’ container, it was a “method” container and another one from the dollar store. All of it bubbled.. It is such a great idea!!!!
