3 ways to reuse your gin bottles in your bathroom

Are you like me and never want to get rid of pretty gin bottles? If you are then here are 3 really quick way to reuse your gin bottles in your bathroom.

1. Bubble bath/body wash dispenser

What you will need:

• Screw top gin bottle x1

• Soap dispenser pump x1

• Your favourite bubble bath/body wash

• Decoupage glue and paint brush (optional)

Step 1:

Choose your gin bottle. Make sure it has a screw top so that the pump has something to screw in to.

Step 2:

Fill your gin bottle with your favourite bubble bath/body wash.

Step 3:

Screw on the soap dispenser pump.

Step 4 (optional):

I painted decoupage glue on to the gin bottle label to try and protect it. Decoupage glue is a sealer so i'm hoping it will stop the water ruining the label. However, I cannot confirm if this helps or not as I have only recently done this project which is why I have added it as an optional.

Step 5:

Run yourself a nice bath and enjoy your new soap dispenser.

2. Bath Salt holder

What you'll need:

• Any type of gin bottle x1

• Your favourite bath salts

Step 1:

Choose your gin bottle, any bottle will do and give it a clean.

Step 2:

Fill with your favourite bath salts.

Step 3: Run yourself a nice bath and enjoy your bath salt holder.

3. Hand wash dispenser

What you will need:

• Screw top gin bottle x1

• Soap dispenser pump x1

• Hand wash

• Decoupage glue and paint brush (optional)

Step 1:

Choose your gin bottle. Make sure it has a screw top so that the pump has something to screw in to.

Step 2:

Fill your gin bottle with your hand wash.

Step 3:

Screw on the soap dispenser pump. I used a Bombay Sapphire bottle here and the pump I have isn't as secure on this bottle but it still does the job. I'll just need to be a bit careful.

Step 4 (optional):

I painted decoupage glue on to the gin bottle label to try and protect it. Decoupage glue is a sealer so i'm hoping it will stop the water ruining the label. However, I cannot confirm if this helps or not as I have only recently done this project which is why I have added it as an optional.

Step 5:

Place gin bottle next to sink and enjoy.

I hope you have found these tips useful. I would love to know if you give any of these a go. Feel free to tag me on instagram (@projectshobrooke) if you do.

Hi | Howdy | Hello

Welcome to our blog. I say our blog, it's really just me, Kath. Whilst Carl won't be writing blog posts this whole project wouldn't be possible without him so I think he deserves a mention.

I thought I'd start off with a little introduction post. So, who are we? We are Kath and Carl, both 29 years old renovating our first (and forever) home in Pembrokeshire, Wales. We first saw Shobrooke back in August 2015 and we finally got the keys in December 2015. We then spent 3 and a half years renovating and in May 2019 we finally moved in.

Fast forward to 2020, we are all settled in and we are living in a global pandemic. I am home a lot more and have spent some time organising renovation photos. I want to document these memories so I have decided to create a blog for Project Shobrooke.

I'm hoping this blog is going to include lots before and after pics (who doesn't love a before and after pic), top tips for renovation, upcycle project ideas, how to's, DIY furniture inspiration and plant tips.

I think I'll leave it there for today. Thank you so much for reading my first blog post and I hope to see you back here again soon.
