Tutorial Tuesday - Painted Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

 

Soooo.. I lied... I didn't get the apothocary jars done because my spray paint didn't dry then the knob on the top didn't glue on straight so I ended up getting this one done first so here you go! Painted mason jar soap dispenser. Cool right?!

So to buy one of these you're looking at 20 - 40 dollars depending on the look you're going for. This baby was CHEAP! About 5 dollars.. Maybe even less..  

 

 

 So first off you need to spray paint your tops and jar in the colors you want them. I painted my tops oil rubbed bronze (spray paint is the most effective way of going about it!) and my jar in a smoke grey (satin).

 

 

 

 

 Once it's all dry (may take a day or so to fully dry and cure). you need to poke a hole in the top to insert the pump.

 

 

 I just took a small flathead screwdriver out of my hubby's tool box (shhhhhh... lol) and hammered it down on the middle of the lid. It makes a hole and you pretty much just take pliers and start peeling the metal back ( on the under side) until you have a big enough hole to fit your pump in SNUGLY.

 

 

 

 

 Gather up all your embelishments and get ready cuz it's about to get awesome! Start tying on the ribbon! yay!

 

I just tied it in a neat little bow..

 
 

 

 I then tied on some twine and added some bells. No it's not Christmas all year round here.. No I am not attracted to weird jingly things I just like bells..

 

 

 

 I didn't really know how to photograph this part cuz I just kinda put the bells up on the twine as high as I wanted them to be then wrapped the remaining twine back around the jar and tied it off. I also cut my ribbon and stuck that baby above my sink! DONE! BOOM!

 

It would probably look cool shabby chic'd but that'll happen soon enough on it's own here..
