Upcycled Outdoor Handwashing Station

"Rinse bottle out well, so it isn’t sticky water for handwashing! Heat the nail with the lighter and carefully poke a hole with the hot nail. Place the hole near the bottom, on the corner of the jug opposite the handle, so it will be at the bottom when it’s hanging. Make the hole small enough that you have to force the golf tee in, and it forms a good seal.Place the bar of soap in the stocking, and tie it to the handle of the jug. Keeping it in a lightweight stocking will allow it to be used through the material, but also keeps it from falling on the ground and getting dirty."
