Container redo for homemade laundry soap

Hello and Happy New Year!
How many of you make your own laundry soap?
​Here are just a couple of reasons why you need to be making the change.

• The cost of laundry soap versus the cost of making your own soap.
  
• ​The warnings about laundry pods to children and pets.
• ​The sensitivity towards allergies.

But, I wanted to store my homemade soap in a convenient location and have an easy way to dispense the soap to the machine, and the container had to be pretty!  After searching for the right container, I finally found what I wanted at Bed, Bath and Beyond. 

First I took off the silver clamp part. Like I said, I wanted this to be easy, because who wants to clamp and unclamp, not me. 

Then I took the seal off the container and spray painted the container, with Valspar Frosted spray paint.

I was ready to place the knob that I purchased at Hobby Lobby on top of the lid. I used an electric drill to drill the hole and threaded the
​bolt/knob through the lid and placed the washer and nut.

​I added a blackboard label that you can just pull off the adhesive back and place on your container. The writing was done with ​the method of chalkboard transfer.  See how to do this here: ​https://www.shellknoblakegirl.com/chalkboard-transfer.html

Here is my laundry soap container sitting on a little shabby chic stool my husband made to fit in my laundry room.

I will have a follow-up post of my recipe (actually my daughter's)
​ for my laundry soap, with a price comparison. Stay tuned!

I thought you might enjoy a picture of my laundry room. The room is not very wide, so it is hard to take a picture that shows the whole room.
