This DIY soap dispenser will give your sink a more elaborate look and you can build it yourself using only a glass jar!
You can use objects that would have otherwise ended up in the garbage and turn them into useful and decorative objects for your home. An environmentally friendly practice!
Creating DIY soap dispenser:
All you need to create your dispenser
- A glass jar with its lid: for example jam or olive jars.
- The top of a disposable soap dispenser – the part which is pushed down to dispense soap. These are sold in various colours and can easily be found in supermarkets.
- A drill.
Let’s get started! 3 easy steps:
1. Measure the diameter of the soap dispenser top so the tube that dispenses soap can fit through and draw a circle at the centre of the lid of the jar.
Mark the diameter of the tube from the soap dispenser piece
2. Drill a hole in the lid of the point where you’ve marked the circle.
