Soap tray recycling plastic cans

Soap tray

In the soap dispenser craft, we used the dispenser, today we are going to use the plastic bottle to make a soap tray, since we can use it as a soap dish or as a tray. You will see that it is a very simple craft to do, although you have to use fire so with caution.

Do you want to see how we do it?

Materials that we are going to need

soap tray materials

  • Plastic pot
  • Scissors and / or cutter
  • Lighter
  • Spray paint (optional) I'm not going to use it for example.

Hands on craft

  1. We cut the plastic pot in half, If you have chosen a very large one, keep the part of the bottom of the boat and about 10 cm more or less.

Soap tray step 1

  1. We cut the edge making like four petals. It is important take the cut to the limit with the ass of the plastic can, so that later when it is burned it is good.

Soap tray step 2

  1. Once cut, we take the lighter and, very carefully, we are bringing the heat closer to the inside of the petals that we have cut out. We have to see how the plastic wrinkles, at that moment we will move the flame from one side to the other until the petal is folded out. If it is folded inwards, heat the plastic and bend it by forcing it outwards. We will repeat this process with all the petals.

Soap tray step 3

  1. Once the petals are finished, we will travel the edge with the flame quickly to eliminate any burrs cutter or scissors cut. And finally, we will pass the flame through the ass of the tray. Thoroughly wash the tray of possible soot.

Soap tray step 4

An option that is very cool, although I have not done it finally, is paint the tray with a colored spray. If the idea is to use it as a soap dish, I recommend that you paint it only on the outside, so that the plastic is in contact with the water and soap, being more practical.

I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
