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 ...

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.
