How to make Handmade Soap

Things you will need:

Melt and Pour soap: Clear

Melt and pour soap: White

Soap dyes: any color you choose

Soap scent of your choice

A spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol

Measuring cup

Silicone or plastic pan

Cookie cutters of various shapes and sizes

First step: Turn the radio to your fave station and get ready for some fun!!

Melt about 6 ounces of the white soap in the microwave. I recommend melting it for 20 seconds at a time until it is all liquid with no soap lumps. Then, add the soap dye until you achieve the desired color.

I did pink for my first color!

Pour the soap into your plastic mold and let it set until it is hard. This takes 5 to 10 mins.

Take the soap out of the mold.

Use cookie cutters to cut out little soap shapes.

Make a decent size pile of the little shapes.



Melt 4 ounces of the white soap and color it a different color. Pour the soap in the plastic mold. The soap may not take up the full mold but this is ok. It will be cut into shapes in the next step.

After the soap hardens, remove the soap and again cut use a cookie cutter to cut it into shapes. This time, make different shapes than you did before.

Melt 6 ounces of the clear soap.

Pour the  clear soap into the plastic pan. Quickly add the shapes in any pattern you want. Use about half of the shapes. Allow the soap to harden.

Melt another 6 ounces of the clear soap. Mix your fragrance into the 6 ounces of clear soap. I used cucumber melon and used 20 drops. Use the spray bottle of alcohol and spray it over the soap in the plastic pan. Be sure to cover all the soap! Then, pour the additional 6 ounces of clear soap into the pan. Take the remaining shapes and place them in the 2nd soap layer in any pattern you choose.

Let your soap harden and then remove it from the plastic pan. It should look something like this- clear soap with two layers of shapes.

Use a larger cookie cutter to cut the soap into shapes. If you don't have a large cookie cutter you can take a knife and cut the soap into squares.

Here is the finished soap! So pretty!!

You can use different colors and different cookie cutter shapes each time so the soap comes out unique!
