All you need to create your dispenser

  1. A glass jar with its lid: for example jam or olive jars.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
