Jarmazing Products Mason Jar Foaming Soap Dispenser - Black - With 16 Ounce Ball Mason Jar - One Pack!

Product Information

I didn’t use glue to attach the plastic dispenser piece to the mason jar lid for a couple of reasons. One, I find that the foaming soap dispenser lids tend to give out after a few months of use and I wanted to be able to eventually switch it out for a new plastic foaming dispenser piece. Two, I keep my soap up on the windowsill above the sink in a little dish so I am not fearful of it being tipped over and making a mess. Bottles range in terms of capacity. Many hold 16 ounces of soap, while others hold substantially less. If you don't mind refilling the bottle more often, a smaller one is fine. However, if it's a nuisance, you might want to opt for something with a larger capacity. I’ve shared how to make one today so you can reduce the waste of buying disposable foam soap dispensers by replacing them with a reusable DIY version.

Finally, if you use natural Castile (olive oil) soap as the basis of the recipe, it’s very gentle on skin and all natural. Will regular soap work in the foaming dispenser? Soap dispensers can be made of glass, plastic, melamine, resin, ceramic, stainless steel, or recycled substances. The choice is partly about aesthetics, though resin, melamine, metal, and plastic are less likely to break. Depending on where you live, some materials are more recyclable than others. Use the utility knife to carefully cut off the top threaded portion of the soap bottle (leave enough collar to fit under the hole in the jar lid.) I set upon the task to make a homemade foaming hand soap recipe and came up with some fun and foamy soap that I’m proud to wash with.

Somehow along the way, I became addicted to foaming hand soap. At first, I thought that I was cheating on my homemade soap bars. All-natural homemade soap is so much better for my skin than store-bought liquid soap. But the foam. Oh, the foam. It’s so luxurious! I placed my mason jar upside down on some newspapers and gave it a few light coats then after it had completely dried I flipped it over and gave it a few extra coats to ensure that I had painted the mason jar thoroughly. PS I also followed the instructions written on my spray paint. To cut the hole we used a drill press. First we determined the size that we wanted the hole to be and tested it out on a scrap of wood:

Oh- and to make the soap I just filled the mason jar about 1/3 full with regular ol’ dish soap (see how they match 🙂 – and then added water to fill the rest of the jar. That is the most basic way I know of to create DIY Foaming Soap – it is really the dispenser lid that works its magic…. you really only need watered down regular soap. Very gently drill a hole into the lid with the spade bit. At some point the bit may bind in the lid. You can finish cutting the hole with a sharp utility knife. (Just be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges.) Once the hole was drilled, we lightly filed the edges with a metal file and then placed the foaming soap dispenser piece into the lid. You can see below that the fit is quite tight: The pump is made with two parts, one for the soap and one for air. It injects air into the soap when it goes through the pump, making it lather. What are the benefits of foaming soap? Or you can make one inexpensively using a attractive mason jar and the pump from the disposable ones.

Sharing is Caring.

I wrote at the beginning that making your own foaming soap is both less expensive and less wasteful than buying pre-made foaming hand soap. It’s very easy to make as you simply dilute liquid soap and water at the appropriate ratio. You can also reduce waste by refilling a container as opposed to buying a new one each time. After all of the parts are dry add your foaming hand soap, attach the lid, and give it a good shake! Assemble the pump dispenser inside the lid as shown below (1. Insert plastic collar into the jar lid. 2. Thread pump onto the plastic collar. 3. Tighten pump lid. 4. Insert pump into jar and screw on the lid ring.): I was given this adorable Mason Jar with a straw by my sweet friend for Christmas – and I absolutely love it… but it got me to thinking… Update: this project and recipe were originally published in 2016 and since then I have receivedmany questions on foaming hand soap. I’ll answer a few of those questions here so you can get all of the information in one place! How does the pump work?
