Once I posted in the cooking section some links to baking cupcakes and other deserts in jelly jars, and then you tie a bow around it with a spoon or fork. I've been meaning to try those too.

megandgarr Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The timing on this post is ironic because about 2 weekends ago I made one of the soap dispensers like what was shown in one of the blogs. I really like the idea of using the mason jars to store spices as well. That might be my next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megandgarr Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes, exactly. I just went to Ross a bought a cheapie soap dispenser that had a dark bronze pump, then I cut a hole in the center of a mason jar lid, painted it bronze to match the pump and then added soap. I tried a few variations to see which I liked better and stuck with the bronze lid. I also tried spray painting the jar with white gloss paint and used a black pump, but that just didnt go with my decor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorseScentS Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks SO much for sharing!! I love those!!Do you think we really need to press the leaves first, like she says? or will it work with unpressed leaves? And is there a quicky way to press leaves, like put them between paper or fabric and iron them flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have some leaves from last year that I bought at hobby lobby and used in my hurricanes - they are some type of thin fabric - but they are thin and very awesome looking - I'm going to try using those - TODAY!

ChandlerWicks Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We used to iron them between sheets of wax paper. But I can't remember if the leaves were able to be removed from the paper. Wow brain freeze or something!Do you think we really need to press the leaves first, like she says? or will it work with unpressed leaves?

HorseScentS Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Cute idea! They made a candle mold from a Ball jar, so this is completely made of wax. Soap molds could be made from the small square masons. Edited August 28, 2012 by HorsescentS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
