While shopping in Amish Country I saw very cute soap dispensers. Of course, the prices are sky high, and looking at it, I figured anyone can make these.
You can use any glass jar and metal lid. Smaller canning jars would be cute too, but for the one we made, we recycled a food jar. The lid and jar are from Tahini I bought at the store.
The pump itself is recycled from a Bath & Body lotion dispenser I received as a gift. Once the jars were empty, they were washed and dried. The dispenser itself had a much longer tube underneath that required being cut.
The lid was drilled through with a hand drill (using proper safety), and secured inside the lid with a tie strap. Now we can refill our soap dispenser with bulk soap, or make our own.

Update: Spray your lid with a few coats of acrylic spray prior to using it. Allow it to dry. Otherwise a metal lid will rust after a long use of it. Although I have not tried it yet, you could also use a spray on rust metal primer as well, to protect against rust.
