DIY Soap Dispenser for Christmas
Turn those empty glass jars into a soap dispensers for Christmas with this step by step tutorial.
Ingredients
- 1 Jar 500ml smooth rounded, with shoulders; lids removed
- Soap Dispenser lid and pump stainless steel finish, rust proof
- Chalky paint in red white and green (we used Americana Decor Chalky Finish for Glass in Romance, Everlasting and New Life)
- Paintbrushes medium size and ½” angled paintbrush
- Sandpaper 200grit
- Decorative ribbon optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using.
- Using a medium sized paintbrush, apply chalky paint in white all over the jar.
- With a smaller angled brush, paint alternating stripes in varying widths with red and green chalky paint.
- Once dry, use a fine grit sandpaper to gently sand the painted jar to distress the edges.
- Allow the painted jar to dry for an additional 4 days and then place the finished jar in a cool oven. Set the temperature to 325° and bake for 30 minutes, then cool with the oven door partially open.
- Fill the jar with liquid soap and add the dispenser lid and pump.
- Tie a piece of ribbon into a bow around the neck of the jar if giving as a gift.
