How to Make a Two Tone Concrete Soap Dish

Find two plastic Tupperware containers, one smaller than the other. These will serve as molds for your DIY concrete soap dish.

Pour a small amount of oil into the larger, spreading it evenly over the whole inside surface. Then, use the excess to coat the outer surface of the smaller vessel.

Mix up approximately half the concrete you will need for the soap dish in a similarly sized Tupperware container to help you estimate the proper amount you need. Slowly add water until the concrete has a smooth thick consistency. The concrete should be wet, but hold itself in place as you mix.

Wear protective latex gloves and cover your clothes to ensure there are no dyeing mishaps. These dyes are very strong and spread quickly. Use a small amount and seal the packaging immediately after use.

Add a small amount of mica powdered dye to the concrete mixture.

Mix the dye into the concrete until the color is even. If you want a stronger color add a little more dye to increase the color.

Pour the concrete into the container that we previously covered with oil. Smooth out the concrete and burst any air bubbles that rise to the surface.

Take the smaller container and place on top of the concrete making sure it's in the center of the concrete surface.

Leave the concrete to dry overnight.

Mix up the other half of the concrete. This time do not add the dye. Pour this into the larger container around the outside of the smaller container to create the sides of the soap dish.

Leave to dry for 2 to 3 days. Once the concrete is stable ad firm remove from the large container. Carefully squeeze the smaller container at the sides to detach from the concrete, pulling gently out at the same time. If the concrete begins to crack or looks flaky leave it set for another night before completing this step.

Sand the edges of the concrete smooth.

Sand the top surface also, if necessary. Once the sides are smooth, your DIY concrete soap dish is ready to use.
