How to: Use a spaghetti sauce jar to make a soap dispenser

The first step is obvious. Use your spaghetti sauce. And it was delicious :-) I washed out the jar after I used all my sauce until it was clean. The second step is simply to get the label off. Rubbing alcohol works wonders. I had Windex Multi-Surface on hand so I simply saturated the label with it… let it sit for 5 minutes and started to rub it off.*TIP* If you do are doing a few of these soap dispensers, run the jars through a dishwasher. Take out while dishwasher is in “drying” stage. This will be when the label is the softest and easiest to take off. Step number three is to paint your first coat on your jar. I used my Valspar Color Samples… I love these little things. This little container of paint goes a long way and they have the cutest colors! I am totally LOVING their fall line right now! You have to check it out! Now here is the part that I didn’t take a picture of. Go me! I also painted the lid in these pictures but you can’t see it. I used a drill bit on a drill to drill the hole in the center of the lid for the soap dispenser top. If you don’t have a drill bit, try a knife or scissors. Make the hole as big as you think for the tube. Most soap dispenser tops will cover your hole if it isn’t perfect anyways. Mine did. I just added soap and she’s done! Are you ready for the final result? Drumroll please…
