DIY Calming Vegan Organic Jelly Soaps

August 6, 2018 by Shellie Wilson 4 Comments

 

This DIY bath Jelly recipe is like a Lush Dupe. This recipe will show you how to make your own bath jelly or jellies. This recipe is for a bath soap that is the texture of jelly. It is NOT edible.

These handmade Jelly soaps are like washing with Jello, they are wiggly and wobbly and the kids will hopefully love to wash with them. Any incentive to get them in the shower right?

 

As you are working with gelatin which sets quickly, make sure you have everything set up before you start, including your soap molds.

I have also made this jelly soap in a large container and then cut it up and popped it into a jar with a spoon and the kids just spooned it on. 

 

The base for this soap is liquid soap, If you are planning on adding your own scents like we have done below (chamomile and lavender)then make sure your base soap is unscented.

If your mix is not setting, then re-heat and add more gelatin.

    The normal time jelly would melt, 20-30 mins depending on your weather

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
