Do the dishes with a smile! Make one of these unique "dish dollies" to put next to your kitchen sink. This is a great way to turn odd bits of fabric, trim, beads and other craft supplies into a useful and unique hostess or bridal shower gift, too. Best of all, the dish dollies are refillable, so your creativity can be enjoyed for months to come.
Approximate Time: 45 minutes
Cut piece of fabric large enough to make bottom half of apron "dress." Denim from old jeans, pretty florals and cheerful stripes all make good choices - separately or together. Trim if needed and glue into place directly on bottle. Next, cut separate piece for bib top and glue into place. Glue a strip or two of lace, beads or ribbon around middle for "belt," leaving enough to tie in back of bottle. Embellish with beads, rhinestones, buttons or charms. Tip: Don't glue anything around top of bottle cap; you'll need to remove this periodically to refill.

I love this. I have always wanted to have something on my dish soap bottle but I don't sew . Now I have a simple and easy design to make and will no longer hide my bottle under the sink.thank you so much
Very, very cute idea!
I think this is one of the cutest things I have seen in a long while, and the price for making it is "great"! Thanks for sharing with all of us. deb
I LOVE THIS ,Thank you for the idea ...
GREAT IDEA!
I'm gonna get doing one of these tonight, I've just come back from shopping and have bought a cheap washing up liquid. This way no one knows that you are using the cheap brands!
Great idea! Someone gave my son a "robe" for one of his wine bottles. A Christmas gift from some distant relative.
Has anyone found the plastic face and hands for this project . My late mother made these back in the day and she was the best at it . I remember some of how she made them so going to give it a try.
