DIY mason jar soap dispenser

DSC_1463
What you will need:
  • Mason jar: less than $1 each, Target sells these at $8 for a pack of 12 8oz jar
  • Pump: I bought mine at dollar store, just reuse the pump and keep bottle for other purpose
  • Some pain/ink that is washable for marking
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hammer
  • Flat head screwdriver
Procedure:
  • Start with a mason jar and a pump

  • Use acrylic paint, smear it on bottle edge and press the edge against mason jar lid

  • Using hammer and screwdriver to punch holes around the paint mark (if you have a drill bit that's big enough, this process would be easier but I don' have one that big, hence the manual work)

  • The inner side looks a bit dangerous to leave it like that, so I use hot glue gun to cover it up, this also helps secure  the pump

  • This is what the final product look like
