I love working with polymer clay, especially for those tiny details that bring a dollhouse to life. This time, I made a full bathroom set: a cute soap dish with a striped bar of soap, a toothbrush cup, and a little soap dispenser.
It’s a fun and beginner-friendly project, and you can make it with just a few colors of clay and some toothpicks or sculpting tools. Whether you want to decorate a bathroom roombox or just enjoy mini sculpting, this one’s a satisfying build.

1. Sculpting the Soap Dispenser
- Start with a small ball of air-dry clay and press it into a slightly rounded cube shape.
- Create a little top with some black clay and make it a little flat and round by using sculpting tools or just your fingers and some patience 🙂
The step-by-step instructions are quite easy to follow with all the pictures below!
Roll a tiny piece of black clay and shape it into a pump. You can bend it slightly at the end to mimic a real dispenser.
Sand the edges if needed to smooth them out.

- Roll a small piece of white clay into a ball for the soap dish.
- Gently press in the middle to create a dip, and round off the edges.
- To make the dish, shape it into a shallow oval ( which should be slightly larger than the soap bar you will create after )
- Gently press in the middle to create a dip, and round off the edges
For the soap bar: roll out 2 pieces of colored clay and ‘swirl’ them together, like in the pictures below, and gently press them down.
Sculp it into a piece of soap that fits the dish:
3. Creating the Toothbrush Cup
- Once again, first sculpt a ball from air-dry clay
- This time, use a pencil or something round to push it in deep to form the cup.
- Use a craft knife to slice off the excess clay around it, revealing a clean and neat cup shape.
There you go, cup is done!
4. Making the Toothbrushes
Now, I have created these tootbrushes to complete the setup, but I am looking for a different way to make them more realistic. To be continued, but for now:
- Roll out a small piece of clay into a flat circle using a rolling pin.
- Cut thin strips with your craft knife—these will be the toothbrush handles.
- Take one strip and bend one end slightly to imitate the toothbrush neck.
- Add a tiny piece of clay to form the brush head. Use your knife or a needle tool to score bristles into the surface.
That’s it for now, to be continued!

Hi everyone!
My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.
So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.
I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).
I love to write as well about all things happening in the miniature world, hence the reason why I created this blog!
I wish you happy reading and crafting!
