15. Mason Jar Soap Dispensers with Rustic Wire Accents
What This Idea Means
Classic glass mason jars can easily replace plastic single-use hand soap bottles in kitchens and bathrooms. Fitting stainless steel pump lids and adding subtle wire wrapping transforms plain glass jars into rustic-chic, refillable soap dispensers.
Needs to Make This
- 16 oz glass mason jar with ring band
- Stainless steel soap dispenser pump kit
- Electric drill or metal hole punch
- Copper or dark iron craft wire
- Waterproof silicone adhesive
How to Make It
- Drill a hole through the center of the metal mason jar lid insert matching the diameter of your soap pump collar.
- Insert the pump mechanism through the lid hole and seal around the base with waterproof silicone adhesive; let cure for 24 hours.
- Wrap dark iron or copper craft wire around the glass neck of the jar, twisting it into decorative accents or a mini hanging loop.
- Fill the glass jar with liquid hand soap, dish soap, or lotion.
- Screw the ring band and pump top securely onto the glass jar base.
Tips and Variations
- Aesthetic Tip: Use amber or dark green vintage mason jars for a classic apothecary feel that protects light-sensitive oils.
- Variation: Etch custom labels like “SOAP” or “LOTION” onto the glass using glass etching cream and a stencil.
