*UPDATE*--RUST! DIY Mason Jar Soap Dispenser Pumps

The RUSTED  soap dispenser lid has gotten even rustier and created a filmy goo. I ended up throwing it out :(

I've been wanting to do these for awhile and finally found a site that sells the supplies!

Here's what I purchased from Factory Direct Craft to make the silver soap dispenser:

Stainless Steel Metal Dispenser Pump, $5.79

White Plastic Soap Dispenser Collar, 49 cents
-There's a video on how to assemble your soap dispenser if you click the 2nd picture.

Galvanized Mason Jar Lid, $1.99 - Make sure you buy the 1 1/16 inches diameter - Predrilled Hole lid if you want to make a soap dispenser. They offer the same lid with a smaller sized hole for making oil lamps.

Or you can buy all three together for $6.99.

They've got lots of other options and colors so you can customize colors for your decor!





I got the blue mason jars on Amazon from Ball's release of their Heritage Jar Collection.

Ball Jar Heritage Collection Pint Jars, Set of 6, $15.00

They offer those in green as well :) 












I also got these nifty lids! Price: $1.89

Don't want to DIY? You can buy the soap dispensers pre-made too for $15.99!

NHAB Treasure Chest: Now Foods, Essential Oils, Uplifting Blend, Cheer Up Buttercup!



Book Cover Review!

Pros: I've been pretty busy, stressed, and overwhelmed lately, and this cheers me up with just one sniff :) I love to smell it throughout the day (watch for my upcoming DIY diffuser pendant/necklace post tutorial). It smells like lime candy. It's a citrus blend, but I get lime as the top note. Limey, tart, and sweet. I agree--it's uplifting as advertised.

Cons: I wish it was organic.
