These I made in 2013 with cute homespun and wooden stars & rusty bells. |
And still today, they are great sellers.
I guess mainly because of the cool, Mason jars. They are just so country and cute, everyone seems to love them. I know I sure do.
Here is the basics of how I made these and what you may need.
-Ball Jars
-Soap Pump Dispenser
(I bought the pre-made plastic ones with hand soap already in them, just toss the plastic container.)
-Screwdriver and Hammer
-E-6000 Glue
This is the $1.00 Silk brand soap bottle I bought so I could get the foaming pump for one of them.
In the pic below, I'd already punched a whole and put the pump in the mason lid though.

Here is where I needed a screwdriver to start the hole.
I made sure to lay it outside right on top of a crack between the boards,
so that when it went through, it would hit the crack.
A drill would have worked, but I didn't have one handy and my husband was at work.
But the screwdriver, hammer and pliers did the job.
After the first couple punches.
And then I started using the pliers to pinch it away and make the hole bigger.
It really only took about 4 or 5 minutes. The lid metal peals back pretty easily.
And then after I got the hole the right size, (remember, this one above is for a foaming pump which is a lot bigger than the regular ones,) I needed to glue it in place.
Place the glue on the plastic and let it get all over the metal lid too.
I needed to use a very strong holding glue, so I went with the E-6000 from Walmart. The only
thing with that glue is that it needs to sit and cure for around 24 hours. So glue it and get on to other crafts for a bit.
And here it is from the front.
OH, POINT OF INTEREST!
Notice my lids and rims are almost black. That is because I bought some Rustoleum spray paint and previously sprayed them a Rubbed Bronze color.
I just didn't like the shiny gold, regular rims for these jars.
They are a deeper, metallic, rubbed color in person. Way prettier than this pic looks.
Then just fill up the jar, after letting that dry for 24 hours,
and stick the metal ring on to hold it in place.
And you are done.

And here that one is:
I finished it off with jut twine and a grungy tag I previously made.
And then for the red one, I used one of those pre-made lids especially made for Ball jars.
Here is how it looks.
Here is the lid out of the pack. I got it at a Burkes Outlet store for a little over $2.00, but it wouldn't be cost worthy to buy lots of these for that price. So I will stick to making my own like above.
I just had to pick a cute color for the soap, my kitchen is red, so I found some $1.00 Apple Crisp shampoo and used that.
Just fill and stick it together.
And that is all for that one!
A very cute Mason Jar craft to do!
I am keeping one of the red ones for my kitchen!
See ya'll next time!

Notice this soap looks watery. It's because it is the foam dispenser pump. |

I have a couple of these. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI love em too. They r just so country you bout cant lol
Deletevery clever.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I thought id give a try to a linkup like you do with fences. Maybe I can get some crafters to start posting and sharing those ideas too.
DeleteI love these, do you sell these in your booth? If yes do you sell them empty or full?last question- how much would you sell them for ?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Yes, I have previously been selling these in my booth in a more prim style with rusty stars hanging off them. (I may have done a post about them, not sure.) And yes, I have some in my CraftBooth555 on eBay for $7.99 and I have to sell them empty so I can ship them as cheap as possible due to weight. But i've found many cute colors of the $1.00 Shampoos at the Dollar Store that do great in these!
DeleteThanks much!!! Anything else, just comment and I'll find it.
~Lisa
sorry i listed them for 9.99, same as the small squatty jars
