Mason Soap Jar

So it's been a minute since I made a blog.....So this week I went JAR HAPPY! I love mason jars, I just love the simple country look they can give you. My sister in law pokes fun at me but she can bite me and that's gonna be hard because she's back *home* in Michigan.

 Okay so 1st jar: Soap Mason Jar

Step 1: Get your supplies
 Mason Jar
Soap (Refill Jug-clearance for under $4 bucks!& the regular pump kind-also on clearance 3 for under $4 bucks again
Sandpaper
Spray Paint
Drill
Scissors
Hot Glue/Gun





Step 2: Get your sandpaper and rough up that jar lid.

 

Step 3: Drill your hole in the center of the lid. Its okay that its kinda rough because you wont see that part at all later. Don't tell my husband I barrowed his drill.......

Step 4: Get your desired color of spray paint and paint at least 2 coats.....make sure it dries between the coats.  I love the look of this hammered brown by rust-oleum. 

Step 5: After your paint has dried you can get your soap pump and measure to make sure the height will work for your size jar. Mine was a little long so I just took regular scissors and trimmed the end. Then I used my hot glue gun to secure it on the bottom side of the lid. 

Step 6: Fill your jar with soap and screw on your lid and baby you're done!

 

 Comments: I have tried to paint the actual pump the same color as the jar lid but the paint just ends up falling off or scratching off really easily. For example, when you pump the soap that whole "neck" part looks so crappy. If you really want the pump to match then you are going to have to spend more money and buy a fancy pump or maybe look at good will and then buy paint to match that.
