Use Old Shampoo Dispensers As Handy Wall Hooks For A Genius Bathroom Storage Hack

Wall hooks are an essential part of organizing your bathroom, especially when you are looking for easy bathroom storage hacks to help keep your favorite items together and countertops clear. Rather than purchasing new hooks to help organize your space, you can create this DIY at home for a creative bathroom storage hack that uses an old shampoo dispenser as wall hooks. All you need to get started is some empty shampoo bottles and a soldering iron.

Begin by collecting some empty bottles. You want the kind that has the pump dispenser. If you find extra bathroom items while looking for empty bottles, they make perfect, affordable DIY hummingbird feeders.

Lock the pump into place and then unscrew the lid from the bottle. Then, using the soldering iron, cut through the tube towards the top of the lid. The bottom of the lid where you unscrewed it from the rest of the bottle should now be flat. Thoroughly clean the lid to ensure there is no remaining product on the plastic.

Before continuing on with the project, decide if you like the look of the bottle lid or if you want to make it a different color. If you decide you want to paint the lid to match your bathroom, it is relatively simple to do. Start by lightly sanding the exterior of the lid, which will allow the paint to adhere to the plastic. Once sanded, wipe off the lid. Then, use spray paint or acrylic paint to coat the lid in the color of your choice. You may need to paint a few layers. Once completely dry, you can continue to the next step.

Complete this project by attaching the lid to the wall. Use hot glue around the bottom edge of the lid and hold it to the spot until dry. Alternatively, you could use some sticky tack or a command strip if you think you might want to remove the hooks later. These hooks can also be put inside a cabinet for hidden storage.

While this project is definitely on theme in the bathroom, you could also use it in the rest of the house. For example, it would make storing plastic bags so convenient!
