Canning Jar Soap Dispenser

My canning jar soap dispenser turned out so cute!  And it was so easy to make. The supplies you will need are:  a canning jar with a zinc lid, the cleaned out pump from a bottle of Suave lotion (which has a similar zinc color), hot glue gun, marker, nail, hammer, pliers, scissors, ruler and liquid hand or dish soap.  Now, let me show you how……

First, using a ruler, find and mark the center of your lid –

  The underneath side of the lid is made of ceramic –

With the lid right side up, and using a hammer, tap a nail through the lid on your center mark –

Carefully remove the broken ceramic from underneath the lid (it can cut you).  I used the nail to help pry out the pieces –

On the underneath side of the lid, mark an X roughly the same size as the base of your pump –

Using pliers, gently bend back the edges of your center hole –

Insert the pump into the hole –

 Hot glue the pump to the underside of the lid and let it cool –

Using scissors, trim off the excess length of the straw part of the pump so that it is about 1/4″ from the bottom of the jar –

Fill the jar with liquid hand soap, screw the lid on and that’s it!  I made this one for the bathroom, but I love it so much I think I’ll make one for the kitchen with dish soap, too.

Thanks blissfullycontent.
