Ok..so remember the post "squ'eek'y clean"? I was really happy with how cute it turned out - UNTIL I saw Gluesticks post on personalized soap/sanitizer bottles. Brandy was inspired by a post from The Idea Room.
It's basically a clear bottle (for soap or sanitizer) and transparency
film.
I actually used clear window decals (from Staples).
The fun part is deciding what wording/font to use. The Idea Room has a template you can download. I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween-y one :)
Here's a close up of what I came up with (created it all on Microsoft Word).
I trimmed it to fit my bottle. I'm not a big fan of measuring...so I kinda just eyeballed it. I ended up cutting 'happy halloween' off the top :) Since I used a window cling, I just stuck it to the outside of the bottle. My inspiration posts actually slipped the transparency paper inside the bottle. I was afraid the ink would run (and/or I wouldn't be able to get it straight) so I just kept it on the outside.
Pair with the 'eek' and they make quite the scary duo.

| ignore the tiny bubbles...they make me happy :) |
I have plans to make a few of these as gifts.
You can find soap, sanitizer and lotions all in the same size bottles...I thought it would be fun to do a soap/sanitizer set or soap/lotion set - you get the idea.
cute staci...we all must have "soap" on our minds...I've got a post coming up related to the subject! *wink*
ReplyDeletewow! great idea!
ReplyDeleteCute, but I actually like the EEK one better! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gracious! I totally love it! This is awesome for goobers like me who don't own a Cricut! I didn't even think about clear window decal whatever you call it. I am so gonna do this. I just gotta make a trip to Staples sometime. Where in staples are they?
ReplyDeleteWow!! I love it! I just spent over $4 on a bottle of Halloween soap. Wish I'd seen this first. Maybe once it runs out. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I have never heard of clear window decals but it sounds perfect for a couple projects I've been trying to figure out how to make happen. And now I might add this one to the list too. Thanks for linking up to Get your Halloween ON.
