Although I prefer Mason jars for all of the foaming soap dispensers in my house (I pick antique Mason jars out of a 1950-s era dump that the former owners of my home didn’t tell me was in the back of the six-acre property–good times!), this tutorial will work just as well for any glass jar whose mouth is the right size to fit a canning jar lid. Some spaghetti sauce jars, for instance, are actually really cute, and some even have the embossing to make them identical to canning jars. Here’s what you’ll need to make your own Mason jar soap dispenser:
Supplies And Tools
Mason jar or any jar with the correct mouth size Foaming soap dispenser lids. You can buy these for either a regular mouth or wide-mouth canning jar. Before these started to be made commercially, I’d buy just the foaming soap dispenser parts and hammer an opening into a canning jar lid to fit them–what a stinking pain in the butt! This is the one case in which I am THRILLED that I don’t have to DIY every part of my project. Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap. I was obsessed with peppermint for at least a decade, but now nothing will tear me away from almond. Water.
Directions
Now with your very own mason jar soap dispenser, you have no excuses not be as clean as a whistle!
