Lily of the Valley Soap Dispenser

Here's a super duper, easy peasy, little bitty Mod Podge project.

And it uses my favorite flower, Lily of the Valley.

Let's think spring!

I have been forever looking for the right soap dispenser for our Master Bathroom. 

I know, First World Problem.... 

I have gone through several soap dispensers there over the years, 

always fancy ceramic numbers that inevitably chip or break.

I am hoping this one works better.

The hardest part of this project is finding the right soap dispenser to start with.

They need to be a simple shape.

I saw these at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $1.00 each!

I bought a few, thinking they were reasonably pretty 

and the labels peeled right off, with no trouble at all.

Then I went to my stash of Napkins That Must Never Be Used because they are too pretty

and selected this treasured Lily of the Valley napkin:

I peeled the napkin layers apart and cut out the flower motif with tiny scissors.

I left a tiny border all around it.

Then I decoupaged the flower cutout onto the dispenser

using a matte finish Mod Podge.

Then I covered the entire bottle with Mod Podge, using three coats.

Here's a close up of the decoupage.  

I like the matte finish because it softens the shiny plastic look.

It looks really pretty on the counter.

And it only cost a dollar...

(The soap smells nice, but it absolutely refuses to lather...

What do you expect, for a dollar?)

Before and after:

So soft and springy!
