Modified Mason Jar
I saw this mason jar soap dispenser idea on several blogs and loved it! Such a great idea to repurpose something (which I'm a huge fan of because these things tend to be FREE). I got these Mason jars from my boyfriend Jeremy's mom and decided to try it out! I liked this mason jar the best from the blogs: http://revamphomegoods.blogspot.com/2011/10/dear-pinterest-challenge-accepted.html
I like the turquoise look of it (of course), but I really like the silver top (most are gold). This is another pretty simple project with only a few small steps and can really give a cool, unique look to a bathroom or kitchen.

This is the original mason jar:
Materials:
- Mason jar
- Soap
- Soap pump (I used one from a bottle I already had but you can buy new ones at most craft stores)
- Silver spray paint (or colour of your choice)
- Nail and hammer
This is the original mason jar:
To create the hole in the top of the lid, I just took a nail and used a hammer and simply punctured through the top of the lid several times creating a hole. It doesn't have to be perfectly circular, just large enough to fit the pump in it. I decided to spray paint the top silver to match the silver accents in my bathroom:
I let it dry overnight. In the meantime, I took my old soap dispenser (just a typical Bath and Body works container) and poured out the soap into the mason jar and then cleaned off the pump, put the lid on jar and put the end of the pump through the hole.
I really like the way it came out and matches nicely with the bathroom. I think the next soap I put in will be turquoise in colour so that it matches even better :)
