Supplies Needed To Make Mason Jar Soap Dispenser
- Pint mason jar with at least one plain side (I use this version)
- White craft paint
- Cricut machine (see which machine is my favorite here)
- Vinyl in the color of your choice
- Transfer tape
- Mason jar soap pump
- Paintbrush
- Wash your hands cut file (download below)
- Weeding tools (optional)
Step 1: Paint Mason Jar
Start by painting your mason jar in the color of your choice. Be sure to start with a clean jar before painting. I like to clean mine with rubbing alcohol then allow to dry before painting. Add two coats of paint allowing to dry in between coats.
Step 2: Upload Cut File To Cricut Design Space
Download the cut file above and upload to your Cricut machine. You can see how to do that here.
Step 3: Cut Design From Vinyl
Cut the file from the vinyl of your choice.
Step 4: Weed Design
Weed away all excess vinyl. Weeding tools make this easier but they are optional.
Step 5: Add Vinyl To Mason Jar
Then, once the paint is dry, use transfer tape to put the vinyl on the front of your DIY mason jar soap dispenser.
Step 6: Add Soap Pump To Mason Jar
Add the soap pump to the top and you are ready to add your Rae Dunn inspired project to your bathroom.
Make one of these cute dispensers for every bathroom in your home. Because, seriously, they need to wash their hands!
Now that you know how to make a mason jar soap dispenser, grab your supplies and your Cricut machine and get started!
Be sure to use a permanent vinyl for this project to ensure it will stay on even in the wet conditions of your bathroom. Otherwise, have fun making your own DIY mason jar soap dispenser! I know you will love this one as much as I do.
FAQs About Mason Jar Soap Dispenser
If you have questions about HTV on wood I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below!
Can I Use Any Type Of Mason Jar For This Project?
Technically, yes. However, the two things to remember are that 1) the mason jar needs to be smooth-sided (or at least have one smooth side) to apply the vinyl and 2) it needs to be able to fit a pump.
Can I Use Any Cricut Machine For This Project?
Yes, you can! The Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore series, Cricut Joy, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Venture, can all work for this project.
The only thing to keep in mind is that each Cricut machine is different in regard to project size capabilities and the materials it can cut. So, depending on what project you have in mind, you might need to resize the SVG file or cut it out in a different material.
Can I Use Any Type Of Vinyl For This Project?
Since this project will be around water, I recommend that you only use Permanent Vinyl.
I Downloaded The SVG And It’s Extremely Large. What Size Should The SVGs Be?
I would size it to be the size of the jar you are using. I don’t resize them before uploading.

Angie, this is such a cute idea I am going to try it for my home! Can you tell me do you use anything to help seal the paint and vinyl to the jar so it doesn’t come off if it gets wet?
Thanks for all you do!
Gerry
I just use permanent vinyl with no sealer.
