Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

Thanks to heritage and travel, I am both Australian and British. You can throw in some Finnish to the mix but I'm also a 'Southern Gal' at heart. I love the Deep South of the US and you can't get more Southern than using a Mason Jar.

So my first craft project was to paint a Mason Jar to drink fruity summer delights from .... but then I wanted more!

Next project? A Mason Jar soap dispenser. It can't be that hard, right?

After looking on eBay and Etsy for converter kits, I decided to forgo the expensive but cheap looking converter kit and make my own. Enter YouTube and The Sorry Girls.

 

What a brilliant tutorial. I couldn't wait to get started. I checked off my supplies (Mason Jar - check; Cheapo Soap Dispenser - check; nails, hammer, pen and Gorilla Glue - check, check, check and check).

 

In no time at all (not withstanding the 24 hour curing time for the glue), my first Mason Jar soap dispenser came alive. I luuuuuuurved it!

 

 

But why stop at one when I had other colours and gold metallic paint to try....

 

So incredibly chuffed and so easy to make. Try it yourself.
