It&#8217;s stupidly easy, so if you have no talent but want to jumpstart your Etsy career, this is for you.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><em>Ingredients<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Mason jar, or whatever.<\/strong><br>Mason jar or you could use a cool looking peanut butter jar, etc. I&#8217;m told Mason jars are hip, it&#8217;s what the cool kids are using these days. The jar is your choice, but it does need to have a metal lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Kitchen sink soap dispenser.<\/strong><br>You ever see these? Some kitchen sinks have a special hole and you can put a soap dispenser in there. Don&#8217;t buy one of the cheap-o ones, those break after a month or two (trust me on this.) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000DZFUMK\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000DZFUMK&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=storestar-20\">Delta makes a sturdy one you can get for ~$35.<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=storestar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000DZFUMK\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<em>Tools<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<br><strong>A drill, etc.<\/strong><br>Something that makes holes in metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scissors.<\/strong><br>Or a knife, you need to cut plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0<br><em>Instructions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<br>As you probably guessed, the only step is to punch a hole in the top of the jar&#8217;s lid and screw in the soap dispenser in to that hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can drill one big hole if you have the proper sized drill bit, or you could just drill a bunch of small holes to perforate the lid and safely remove the middle part out with a pair of pliers. The hole doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect; the soap dispenser is much wider than the part that fits through the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll likely need to cut the soap dispenser&#8217;s straw\/hose so that it fits in the jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, you&#8217;re done! add soap and wash your filthy hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a DIY project that&#8217;s actually useful: a soap dispenser built into a Mason jar.
