Ladies & Gents, I finally have a soap dish...and it was not an easy task by any means to come up with a cheap, fun idea. I was lacking creativity this week & I almost did not complete my DIY project but I am proud to say I finished! Take a look:


This was not what I had originally planned-- I was going to do something interesting with twigs from outside but my vision did not go as planned and the twig idea was a total flop. Thank goodness for good friends  helping me come up with some neat ideas; they came up with doing things like melting crayons [which I still think I'm going to use for another project] to molds to paper mache. Cookie reminded me that Lowes was right by so I ended up going there to get some inspiration. Altogether my project really only cost me $.50 [I left out cost of the glue I used to put the pieces together because I am using the glue itself for several other projects-- The ceramic pots only cost me $.25 a piece!] To make your own soap dish here is what you will need: Cardboard, a ceramic pot, some sort of adhesive glue, & a gloss spray to go over the final piece [& spray paint if you choose to add color or texture].
&& Here we go:







On other accounts of the day, here is the awesome jacket I bought from the thrift store last week- I absolutely LOVE it:
