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!

Too easy. So pretty!
Love this! I just paid $15 at a local “primitive” store for something similar. I’m makin’ the next one! I think I’ll do one for our toothbrushes too! Thanks for the idea!
What a fantastic idea!!!
is there a post somewhere with millions of ideas for re-using mason jars- i’ve got boxes of them too in the shed!
not sure how to do this?
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
I love these! Quick question… How do you get the dispenser to stay? I’ve tried to use an extra one from home, and there is nothing for it to screw in to?
@Elizabeth PeckhamThanks Elizabeth! At first I didn’t use anything, but I made another one and actually used a glue gun and glued underneath the lid. It’s held really well! Good luck!

Very cute! I modified it slightly by cutting just below the threads on a plastic bottle, made the hole large enough to push the threading through, and just screw the pump back on. No gluing required and easy disassembly if you need to replace the mason jar lid.
Does the paper (on the top of the lid) get soggy from water drips?
I would also like to know if the paper on the lid gets soggy from water drips…Or does the rim of the lid get rusty after a while?
