DIY Mason Jar Pump Dispenser




       There’s not a whole lot to assemble for this.
       A canning jar and lid (of  course), and a pump.
       A hammer, large nail, tin snips(or some other way of cutting the metal),
       epoxy or industrial glue,

What I did to get the hole started in my lid was use a hammer and large nail. Then I worked on making it bigger with a screwdriver and then with some tin snips. You are going to keep widening the hole you’ve made until it is just big enough to fit
the pump in.

                          


It doesn’t need to be perfectly round…but it should be on the snug side so the pump will stay put. Just keep widening a little at a time until you get the right fit.
When it is the right size…take the hammer and lightly hammer down the pieces of metal that are sticking up so there are no sharp edges.

                  

Now  put some glue around the base of the hole to form a nice seal…

  Now, if  you have one of those really old, antique jars with the lid that is all one piece, you can skip this part. But if you just have your standard canning jar with a two-piece lid…you’ll need to glue them together. I just put some E6000 all along the inside of the rim of the band …then pressed the sealing lid inside and you are done! You, my friend, have just made your own mason jar soap dispenser!  So cool, and uses are endless... soap, lotion, condiments... and if you so choose you can also do this with the "foaming soap" pump as well!
