Creating Vintage-Inspired Shower Dispenser Labels

October 4, 2025Leave a comment

Adding Personality to Create Vintage-Inspired Shower Dispensers.

Last Spring, we started a complete remodel of our upstairs bathroom.

What was supposed to be a 6-week project ended up taking 14 weeks.

Life happens, and I’m generally a patient person.

(But, not necessarily that patient.)

Anyway, I’ve been working on the finishing touches to the bathroom,

and these Vintage-Inspired Shower Dispensers* are the look that I needed.

(FYI…Finished bathroom before and after video coming soon!)

For the shower niche, I found a set of 3 black plastic refillable shower bottles

on Amazon with gold stainless steel pumps.

They fit my style and matched the gold handles on my vanity faucets perfectly.

(This is the link to the exact dispensers I purchased*.)

Adding the Personality…

I decided to make gold labels using StyleTechCraft adhesive vinyl

instead of the white labels that came with the dispensers.

Did you know that StyleTechCraft makes several colors of gold vinyl?

The gold craft vinyl ended up being the closest match.

Directions:

I designed the label using a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die-Cutting Machine*.
Once the label has been cut, you’ll need to remove the excess vinyl in and around the letters and frame. (Use a vinyl weeding tool* or craft pick*.)
To help the vinyl stick securely to the bottle…Wipe the surface of the bottle with rubbing alcohol* to remove any oils or fingerprints.
Lay StyleTechCraft Transfer Tape* over the label and gently rub over the letters with a vinyl scraper tool*.

Remove the StyleTechCraft Transfer Tape* and design from the white protective backing and place it onto the bottle.

Rub over the transfer tape* with the scraper tool to ensure the vinyl has transferred.
Remove the transfer paper.

These bottles elevate the Shower Niche with a Classic Vintage-Style.

They look a whole lot better than the bottles that they came in.

Cute Valentine/Spring Décor with Vinyl

Creating Cute Valentine/Spring Décor with StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

Did you ever get a song stuck in your head while working on a project?

I’m showing my age here, but this Karen Carpenter song kept going through my mind while

I was putting together the Bird on the Branch and, I just had to create the words to go with it.

I love creating projects for my home using vinyl.

My favorite vinyl is the Glossy Craft Vinyl from StyleTechCraft.

There are so many great color choices to choose from.

Project Details:

I used a 5″ x 7″ decorative piece of chipboard that I’d had around for a while.
I cut a piece of woodgrain paper a little larger than the chipboard.
Place the paper in the Xyron Creative Station* design side up through. As you turn the handle, it runs through the machine and adds a complete layer of adhesive onto the back of the paper.

Adhere the paper to the chipboard and cut away the excess using a craft knife and cutting mat.
Use a fine Sanding Block* to smooth out the edges of the chipboard.

I used my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* and the “Bird on the Branch” SVG file to create my design.
I sized the image to fit onto my chipboard and cut the various layers of the red in three shades to make a cardinal.
After weeding the excess vinyl from around my images, I transferred them onto the chipboard using the Clear Transfer Tape*.
After having the song stuck in my head, I decided to create a few words for my sign.
For added detail, I went around the edge of my sign with a Silver Leafing Pen*.

I cut an extra little cardinal to fit inside a small circle frame and added small red hearts on the top and bottom.
To complete my decorations, I added my small faux heart topiary to a reddish metal and added the words “choose happy” in Olive vinyl.

I have Cute Valentines Decorations that will take me into Spring. (and maybe longer)
