Hi crafty ladies! I’m Steph from Crafting in the Rain and I’m so excited to be in this fun series!Â
Of course with my ballerina daughter I had to pick the “9 ladies dancing” for my theme. I wanted to make something fun for her to give to her ballet teacher. Here’s how I turned a regular soap dispenser into a cute ballerina.
You’ll need:
A bottle of hand soap (I chose foaming to minimize soap drips and I liked the color)
TulleÂ
Vinyl ballerina cut out
Glue gun
Start by measuring the soap pump and determining the right size for the ballerina. I cut mine 2.5 inches tall.
Stick the vinyl down on the soap bottle.
To make the tutu, cut a strip o tulle that’s long enough to wrap around the bottle at least 2 times, and 4 inches wide. Fold the tulle in half and hand stitch along the fold. Then pull the string to ruffle the tulle.
Starting on the back side of the pump use hot glue to attach the tutu. When you reach the back again, trim any excess and use a bit of glue to connect the ends.
And there you have it. A lovely lady dancing and a perfect gift for any dance teacher. Do you have any dancers in your life?
So thanks for having me here today, but I can’t leave without sharing a fun glitter project too. I made it after our Disneyland trip a couple of years ago.
Thanks for a really easy to follow tutorial! There are definitely some little ballerinas in my life who’ll get these as stocking stuffers this year. Great job & something I would never have thought of.
That tulle tutu is SO cute! These would be great favors for a ballerina themed party, too!
Now this is so cute. My girl would wash her hands all the time. LOL
I am inspired, this is so nice. The tutu is so cute!
it’s adorable! My girls would love all the pink!

You are so talented. My nieces would LOVE this and I am thinking it would make a great little stocking stuffer!
This would be perfect for our dance studio. We have a lot of ballerinas there, including my own daughter. 🙂
