Mason Jar Soap Dispenser


If you are anything like me {and my house}, you have a ton of masonjars lying around... if not they are easily accessible at your local Walmart! You can find us drinking out of large, medium, and small jars, you might fight candles in some... maybe flowers... and now soap!


I am in love with these Mason Jar Soap Dispensers, and better yet, it is cheap and easy! My favorite!

This is what you will need:

A drill, mason jar, soap dispenser, and glue.

What to do:

*Drill and appropriate size hole in the top of the mason jar lid. If you need to use a razor to smooth edges out, you can do so.
* Place your dispenser pump in the mason jar and secure the edges with a hefty glue.
*voila... you just DIY'ed a awesome soap dispenser!
* You can put different colors in the jar to match your kitchen or bathroom!

Enjoy!


Table Placemats {How To}


Placemats and napkins are a easy way to spice up a kitchen table. Whether for spring, summer, fall, or winter you can design your very own season fit scheme.



DIY Placemats:

Shopping List:

- 1 yard of 2 different designed fabrics (1 yard of each)

- sewing machine

-needle and thread

- measuring ruler

-pencil

How to:

*Cut 4- 14x18 rectangles (of each fabric design)

*Pin your corners to match perfectly so you will get a straight edge when sewing.

*Sew with a 1 in. hem around the edge of the placemats.

* Begin pulling excess strings on ends to give the edges a frayed look.

Voila- you now have a reversible placemat.

Napkins:


Shopping List:

- A Bundle of Layer Cakes- found here.

- Sewing Machine

-Pins

How To:

* Simply match 2 layer cakes together until there are no more in the bundle.

* Pin the corners to make straight edges (Inside out)

* Sew inside out leaving a gap to be able to pull the fabric through.

*Pull fabric through and sew an outer edge to finish off your reversible napkin.

And that's the #2 post of the kitchen series!
