Did you know that the screw-on plastic dispenser tops from store-bought soaps, shampoos, and lotions will often fit on glass bottles? Finding the right bottle may require a bit of experimentation, but once you find a bottle the right size, you can create a unique, eco-friendly DIY soap or lotion dispenser in seconds!This pump top from a bottle of Trader Joe's hand soap fits perfectly atop a bottle that previously held lime juice. The "straw" inside is even the perfect length.
To refill it, I like to use the handwash refill pouch from Method, which purportedly has an 83% smaller carbon footprint than a hard plastic bottle:
This sparkling cider bottle pairs perfectly with a top from a bottle of liquid dish soap: 
The soap needs to be "shaken" out because the bottle can't be squeezed. An alternative option would be to use a spigot top designed for dispensing olive oil.I can imagine lots of other potential applications for this idea. Classy possibilities would include using frosted glass bottles or antique bottles. If "campy" is more your style, how about making a beer bottle soap dispenser for your favorite beer-swigging hooligan hubby? Any bottle with ridges at the neck is a candidate for this easy DIY project. The only limit is your imagination!
