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!

Do you mod podge the paper on the top?
First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing
my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing
but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!
I love this idea, however, I would use old pickle, and or relish jars, or any glass jar that a canning lid and ring would fit on. That way I can save my canning jars for canning. :)…Going to make several as gifts.
I think that this would look great with a smaller “jelly” mason jar, too
I saw this project yesterday and immediately had to make two for my kitchen, one for hand soap and one for hand lotion. Instead of using paper I used fabric to match my curtains. I cut a circle using pinking shears and attached it by using spray adhesive. They sure do dress up my sink area.
Thank you for sharing this great idea.
Hi Linda! I’m so glad you made some – they really are so simple and they make the sink area look so pretty! Great idea using the fabric to match too!
I’m not sure if it was Mason or Ball (I think Mason) but they just re-released repro’s of the old blue jars. I don’t know if these are limited edition or not. They would make really pretty dispensers. I’ve seen them at Ben Franklin’s.
Thank you so much for letting me know Heidi! I would absolutely love to get my hands on a set of those!!
You are welcome. I looked them up on Amazon today and them have them. They are made by Ball. Thanks for the great idea!
Oops. They have them. Ha. Ha. Sorry for the typo.
Wonderful Idea “Mason Jar Soap Pump!
