Monogrammed Hand Soap

Heres a fun, easy and inexpensive gift that is perfect for teachers, neighbors and friends...Monogrammed Hand Soap and/or Sanitizers.

And all you need is:

A bottle of hand soap or hand sanitizer

A sheet of overhead transparency

Measure the width of your bottle. In your word program edit the monogram and size it to the proper size for your bottles. Add the letter you need in the center. Then print out the monogram. If your printer is a laser printer, you can print the monogram right onto your overhead transparency paper. If you don't have a laser printer, print the monogram onto a regular piece of paper. Then copy the monogram onto the overhead transparency with a copy machine. Most Copy Centers will be able to do this for you

I usually buy my bottles of soap and hand sanitizer from the Dollar Store. {Or you can buy empty bottles and fill with soap and sanitizer}. Then I remove all the stickers and labels from the bottles. I got my paper labels wet and they easily scraped off. To clean off any glue residue, I used Goo Gone which I purchased at Home Depot.

Cut around your printed label as straight and as close as you can get to the writing so that it fits properly into your bottle. Check before you cut the bottom of the label to be sure that it will sit as high in the bottle as you would like it to

Roll up the label so that the writing is in front. I roll mine backwards. Stuff it into the top of the bottle carefully.

Use the soap dispenser to push the label to the front wall of the bottle and to straighten it in the right position

The best part of these is that they are so afforable and practical. They are also completely customizable. You could really put anything on the transparency and they could be used for so many things...birthdays, home decor, for new parents and their frequent guests, etc. Here is a version I made two years ago for one of my child's teachers.

OR DO THIS ONE..........
