DIY Monday

So it's time for another DIY Monday! And I LOVE this one! If you've been following my blog you can tell I'm a lover of the cute, simple DIY gifts and this of course is one of them! I saw the idea on Pinterest and figured I'd give it a try and I am so happy with how it turned out!

So here is a DIY mason jar soap dispenser...

What you'll need:
Mason Jar
Soap Jar (I had bath and body works but any kind will do)
Screw driver
Glue (I used hot glue but I think super glue would have worked better)

To start leave the lid on the jar. Using your screwdriver put and few little holes in the middle of the jar lid and circle it around to get your desired size circle. You don't want to make it very big just big enough to fit the soap tube. 

Now put in the pump you took from the other soap jar.

(WARNING: There may be sharp edges inside where you made your circle so be careful)

You want it to be a tight fit so if you can easily turn it your hole could be too big! The first one I did I made my hole to big so I used lots of hot glue to fill in the gap (the picture above). But with the good one in the above picture, I still put hot glue around to prevent it from moving. 

The soap tube for bath and body works was too long for this mason jar so all you have to do is trim it down with scissors. Now fill your jar with soap and there you have it! Your very own mason jar soap dispenser. How cute is that?? And of course makes a great housewarming gift or stocking stuffer. 

If you would like one and don't want to make it yourself send me an email allisoncdale@gmail.com and I will make one for you for only $8 +shipping!  (Soap NOT included) I can personalize it for you by changing the colour of the pump just let me know what colour you're looking for!
