DIY Mason Jar Soap Pump
Well my love of old Mason jars keeps on going…this time it’s a DIY Mason Jar Soap Pump! As you know from my previous posts on my jar obsessions, I love me a good jar. And I love being able to reuse pretty things!
Around Bloggyland, I had seen these soap dispensers, and thought they were so pretty, but just didn’t really know how I could make my own. Suddenly one day I felt inspired, so on the weekend my hubby bust out the drill, and a pretty Mason jar soap dispenser was born.
Isn’t she lovely?!
What You Need to Make Your Soap Pump:
- Mason Jar
- Jar lid
- Pretty paper to jazz up your jar. Cut it to fit and cover your tin lid.
- A pump from an old dispenser. I took mine off of a lotion jar from the grocery store. I think you can also buy these at craft stores. But any old soap dispenser will do.
- Glue gun.
How to Make Your Soap Pump:
- Drill a hole in the centre of your lid, so that it is big enough to fit the bottom portion of your pump.
- Assemble.
- I used the glue gun on the bottom of the lid, to make a seal between the soap pump and the jar lid. This will also help to prevent the lid from rusting.
- Be pretty and pump on!






Oh man I wish I had seen this before! I cut out a piece of plastic for the top of mine, but this makes much more sense. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Bethany!
This is a great idea! Goes right in line with my white kitchen fetish!
Hi, Joanna. Just had to say thank you for sharing this tutorial. I will save my soap pump to use for mine. What a great idea to jazz it up with a patterned insert. Loved it! Pinned it! Have a great week 🙂
Hi Darlene! I’m so happy you like the tutorial!
Hello, I seen where people said the lids are rusting well …… I read in another post about using peanut butter lids on jars in the freezer so no rust on jars. I think it would be a perfect solution for the soap dispenser too. You could paint or cover it with fabric to match 🙂
I love this idea! at bath and body works they sell something similar, but it so expensive! And I prefer a more natural soap. Now I can by my soap in bulk and fill my wonderful mason jar pump 🙂
It’s such a great way to make something that matches our own decor too! I love mine!
