🫧My super easy DIY soap dishes! 🧼

Everything is from Walmart and Hobby Lobby! This is such a cute budget friendly (and beginner friendly!) DIY! I have recently switched over to using all bar products! I’ve never felt happier in a routine than my shower one lately! But these ceramic dishes you can get from Walmart (4 for $10). I used the apple barrel paint which is like .50 cents per bottle! The uv resin came from Hobby Lobby but without this your dish may be vulnerable to water damage! It was like $12 for the whole bottle. And I used pebbles from dollar tree to elevate the soap. Soap shouldn’t be sitting in pools of water! Let me know if you try making these! It was such a fun project and only took me an evening to complete! #diyfavorites #painting #crafting #DIY #diydecor

... Read moreWhen I started making my own soap dishes using the materials from Walmart and Hobby Lobby, I found that choosing the right paint and protective coating is crucial for durability. The Apple Barrel acrylic paint is great not only because it’s affordable but also because it dries quickly and holds well on ceramic surfaces. However, since soap dishes often come into contact with water, sealing them with UV resin really makes a difference. The resin provides a waterproof layer that protects the paint and ceramic from damage over time. I also realized that keeping your soap elevated is key to preventing it from becoming soggy and dissolving too fast. Using small pebbles or stones from Dollar Tree is a clever, inexpensive way to lift the soap, allowing water to drain away and air to circulate around the bar. This project is perfect for anyone new to crafting because the steps are straightforward, and you don’t need advanced tools or supplies. Plus, it adds a personalized touch to your bathroom decor. If you’re switching from liquid soaps to bar soaps, this DIY will complement your routine beautifully by improving soap longevity and maintaining cleanliness. Overall, this DIY soap dish project took just one evening to complete but continues to enhance my shower routine daily. I'd highly recommend trying it out—it’s fun, cost-effective, and results in a charming, functional accessory for your bathroom.
