This idea was born when I came across some amber glass soap dispensers on the Internet, with the prettiest labels – only to discover they were about $28 each. Thirty dollars for an empty bottle, ladies and gentlemen! I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to pay nearly $30 for a bottle, the least they can do is fill it with something, ha! So I set out on a look-for-less quest.

I’ve previously shared roundups of 1) modern oil dispensers, 2) beautiful salt and pepper sets, 3) neutral everyday dishes, and 4) laundry and mudroom organization tools. Today we’re taking that form+function topic and adding a recycling element to it with a simple DIY tutorial that repurposes kombucha bottles into beautiful glass soap dispensers.

You’re likely already familiar with my never-ending quest to update all utilitarian household items with ones that combine both form and function. I cannot help it; I need everyday household items to look pretty – without compromising on function, of course. The extra investment is worth it to me, because it makes mundane tasks that much more enjoyable.

I’m linking all supplies below, along with the super quick tutorial. If you make this DIY, be sure sure to tag @FOXYOXIE on Instagram. I would love to see your version!

I saved my kombucha bottles and transformed them into an entire set of dispenser bottles – six to be exact! That would’ve cost me $168, but it only cost me $23! Even if you’re not a kombucha drinker and have to buy a bottle solely for the purpose of making this DIY soap dispenser, you are still saving so much money.

A super easy way to fancy up your dish soap so you can get rid of the plastic container.

I decided to hop on here and show you how to make an easy DIY dish soap dispenser since I was changing mine out. You’ve probably seen them around, but I decided to share just in case there’s this thin chance you haven’t.

I decided to change my bottle up this time. You can use just about any bottle as long as the spouts will fit the mouth correctly.
