Are these DIY Mini Aprons for Soap Bottles the cutest thing or what?! Thanks to Kristen from Kio Events for the fabulous DIY tutorial on these adorable themed favors/gifts from the 1950′s Inspired Bridal Shower posted earlier today. She also demonstrated these on HGTV’s “That’s Clever!”.

Fabric
Apron template (download the PDF here)

Ribbon
Buttons/Bows/Accents
Hot Glue Gun

Thread
Scissors
Pins
Optional: Paper & Safety Pins
DIRECTIONS
1. Print and cut out the pattern for the apron.
2. Pin pattern to fabric and cut out 2 pieces
3. Pin pieces right-sides together and sew rounded skirt of apron, leaving top open
4. Pull fabric through the top turning it right-side out and iron it flat
5. Hot glue rick rack/lace around skirt part of apron
6. Glue ribbon around top of apron to make neck strap of apron and tuck unfinished part of fabric under and secure with glue.
7. Glue ribbon for waist of apron leaving 2 loose ends that can be tied around apron

9. (Optional if gifting your item) Make up a “clean name” paper tag for your apron and safety pin it to the apron. We’ve used names like “Soapy Sue”, “Clean Cathy”, “Donna Dishwasher”…
10. Put your apron on your dish soap bottle so she is a little lady that can be proudly displayed on your counter next to the sink.

How stinkin cute is this?! Love those water bottles!
What a fantastic and creative idea.
What a great favor idea for a bridal shower or a fun little housewarming gift. This can even be taken one step further by slipping the cute bottle and apron in a cello bag and tie off with a complimentary ribbon or ric-rac.
I love the retro look!

Could you use fabic glue instead of sewing the apron together? I want to make some but my machine is out right now.

Love these! Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to make some. Seems easy enough!
I found a halloween print apron for my soap bottle at the goodwill thrift shop brand new! What if it falls into a soaking pan of pork chop grease?
adorable
