DIY Candy Corn Soap

October 20, 2015 by barb

Love this DIY Candy Corn Soap project. Going to make it as a Halloween Craft for kids!

I'm all for anything that gets people washing their hands more this time of year! This DIY Candy Corn Soap is a lot of fun to make and it looks and smells great! I originally came up with the recipe with my niece and she loved it--so this is definitely mom tested, kid approved! The good news is that if you have made any of my other DIY soap projects, you probably have most of the items on hand to make this today.  If not, click on the Amazon (affiliate links) to get them ordered quickly. Here is what you will need: DIY Candy Corn Soap Ingredients Soap Colorant Olive Oil Soap Base Goats Milk Base silicone soap mold Young Living Essential Oils- for this I used a combination of Stress Away, Nutmeg and Cinnamon Bark (so that it had a Snickerdoodle scent) but you could do this just as easily with Thieves (like in this How To Make Soap For Kids tutorial) DIY Candy Corn Soap Instructions: You need to make this soap in 3 stages (for each of the colored layers) and plan time in between for each layer to cool. The actually time to make the project is about 25 minutes but add your drying time into that when planning. This recipe will yield two bars. Please ...

Simple DIY Citrus Soap

DIY Citrus Soap FB

I love soap. I have a real thing for pretty, beautiful smelling bars of soap. I also hate lye and stay as far away from it as I can. If you are the same way, you will LOVE this DIY Citrus Soap recipe. It's so easy that a monkey with microwave could do it! DIY Citrus Soap Prep: Here are some things you should do a few days before planning to make (Amazon Affiliate Links below) Order Goats Milk Base in cubes Order silicone soap mold (look around for cute shapes if you want) Grate 1/2 cup citrus peel. I used lime, grapefruit, orange and lemon. I found that zesting did not give me big enough chunks to make the soap look pretty. Leave on a cookie tray lined with parchment to air dry for 1-2 days. DIY Citrus Soap Ingredients: 14 cubes of Goats Milk Base (link above) 5 drops of Citrus Fresh Essential Oil (you can buy Young Living oils here) 1/2 cup dried, grated citrus peels DIY Citrus Soap Directions: Place cubes in glass bowl.

A Bit About Me…


I truly love the wonderful chaos of motherhood, but as my kids grew, I started craving a different kind of pace and a sense of calm I couldn't quite find.

Moving to the coast, which is my happy place, really changed how I live the day to day. Now, I just try to bring more calm into our days, even though they're still pretty busy.

It's not about making life perfect. It's just finding some balance and little bits of peace in the middle of the happy hustle, letting the salt air work its magic on the chaos.

Knock, Knock! Anyone home?

I no longer participate in PR campaigns of any type. I consider this blog to be in retirement but here for anyone who would like to read. I started this journey in 1998 with a company I named “Chaotic Communications”. I am so happy to have lost that chaotic feeling. Today I have rebranded that life and work to simply “Indigo Ink“. You can click that link to find my latest projects.
