Let dry completely before you pick them up.

Step 2: Nail a hole into the center of the lid

You don't glue the pump to the lid? Doesn't it get wobbly when pumping it?

Danielle January 14, 2013 | 3:03 PM

Wouldnt the pump be really lose without something secure holding it in place?

I'll be making one for my bathroom tonight. I like the rusty lids so I think I'll hit Home Depot and get some textures spray paint. I have some tea-stained cheesecloth to tie around the neck and was toying with the idea of different seasonal things to hang from it with jute...greens for Christmas -pinecone for fall...thanks for the inspiration! :)

I don't see the beauty in painting a the top on a mason jar, putting hole in it and using it for a soap dispenser. What happens if the jar turns over or falls? Then you have soap all over the place being that the pump isn't screwed in secure. Besides it looks quite tacky and you can't get all the soap as the dispenser doesn't reach all the way to the bottom. Granted the idea the lady had about the jelly jar would be a bit more. cute. But that painting thing has to go.

Just did this and it took like 10 minutes. I used a jelly jar and the lid had a cute checkered pattern on it so I didn't bother to paint it. So easy to do and looks lovely. :) Great idea!

Hello, Love, love, love it! I am making one for my kitchen and bathroom. Gabriela

I love it. I'm going to do this today. I have been saving a mason jar for no reason but waiting for the right craft to come along. One question, why did you paint the lid? Any particular reason other than aesthetics?
