For a touch of country kitsch style, few things are more iconic than a mason jar. These glass jars, typically used in canning and preserving food, are also useful for DIY projects around the house. One project you can use to add simple charm to your bathroom is turning a mason jar into a soap dispenser. This project, which can be completed in less than an hour, allows you to refill a mason jar with your favorite liquid soaps and enjoy a bit of quaint homemade style while you wash up.
