embellished hand sanitizer

Two of the birdies are off having fun with family this week, so since I'm flying solo, I think it's a perfect time for a super-duper-simple craft idea. And I have just the thing. We found this idea over at Just a Girl. Hand sanitizer is a great way to slow the spread of germs. This embellished hand sanitizer is a quick and easy project perfect for the cold and flu season. It would make a great teacher or office-mate gift!

We peeled the labels off of hand-pump hand sanitizer and let the kids replace them with pretty stickers. Rub-ons used in papercrafting would work great, too. Then we added a stamped tag with a coordinating ribbon and voila, pretty enough for any desk or bathroom! This is a great, inexpensive way to coordinate your bathroom soap pump with your decor as well.


Let's all stay healthy so we can keep crafting!
