How to Upcycle a Glass Jar into a Soap Dispenser

soap dispenser DIYI use one soap dispenser in my kitchen. I use non-toxic plant based dish liquid soap so I figured, if it’s good enough for  my dishes, it’s good enough for my hands, right? So I only use one type of soap in my kitchen in one soap dispenser. Less clutter so I’m good.

But the soap dispenser I was using was too small and I was refilling the thing every two days.

So I decided to make my own soap dispenser with one of many glass jars I have in my stash.

Without further ado, here is the tutorial with my sexy squeaky voice.

So what do you think?

Pretty cool, huh?

The thing is, you can fill it with your favorite lotion too. And imagine how great holiday present that would make.

Let me know what you think and if you like the tutorial, please share with your friends.

Love it. I’m always looking for a large dispenser. I like the idea of using a mason jar…Thanks for that.

This is especially great for people who make their own lotions and such. I love the idea of making up a batch of lotion and putting it in a pretty pump jar like this and giving it as a gift! Fantastic idea. Thanks for the tutorial!

Lotion is a great gift! Pretty mason jar would work great for a gift with a little pretty ribbon tied around the neck of the jar. Definitely!
