Mason Jar Soap Dispenser from Clean Mama

Here's how I made a cute soap dispenser out of an old Ball quart size jar.


 I used the small mouth variety to keep the soap drips down the side to a minimum. 
 Couldn't bear to drill into the original lid, so I used a pasta sauce lid. I drew a circle of where I should aim my tools.
Used the "punch a bunch of holes with a nail because the drill wasn't charged" technique.
 Then I spray painted the lid silver.

I pushed the ring into the hole - went the wrong way the first time, figured it out with only a couple dings - spray painted again. Then I screwed the fancy soap pump top into the ring.

Here it is on the counter - serving its mission of making my counter cuter.
