DIY Star Wars Soaps

This post is sponsored by Crafty Hangouts and their advertiser, ConsumerCrafts.com. All opinions and ideas are 100% my own.

Is your family absolutely Star Wars obsessed?! With May the 4th around the corner, it's like Christmas all over again in our house. For Christmas we got Star Wars Legos, Star Wars pajamas, Star Wars beer coozies, Star Wars socks, and cooked a Star Wars turkey. Okay, maybe not the turkey but you get the picture that the Star Wars mania in our family is NOT wearing off any time soon. I received a shipment of soap making supplies from ConsumerCrafts.com and I knew I was going to make DIY Star Wars soaps. Just because I CAN. And you can too!

DIY Star Wars soaps - make fun soaps with a PRIZE INSIDE with your kids. These make great gifts and your kids are gonna LOVE washing their hands *wink wink*

Star Wars merch is awesome but when you can DIY a Star Wars goodie, that's even better!!! And these soaps are super easy to make with the kids. My son Matthew from Matthew's Crafts and I made these soaps on our Saturday Morning Crafts show; every Saturday morning around 9 am we make a craft together. It's a fun time to turn off the TV and bond over creating something with our hands. He absolutely loves this time together and I bet your kids would too … join us on the Smart Fun DIY Facebook Page on Saturday mornings!

Before we get into the video, here's what you'll need to make the soaps:

  • Organic Clear Glycerin Soap Base (or get the Clear Glycerin Soap Base – Scored 2 Pound Block from ConsumerCrafts.com)
  • Assorted Soap Molds (or you can get the Essentials Soap Mold – Plain from ConsumerCrafts.com)
  • Star Wars Episode VI Micro Machines Deluxe Vehicle Pack Fall of the Empire
  • Microwave
  • Oven Mitts
  • Glass Bowl
  • Knife
  • Spoon
  • Soap Fragrances (optional – I used none)

Watch this video for the full how-to on making DIY Star Wars soaps with the kids:

I typed out the instructions too just in case you don't have time to watch the video:

  1. Cut the glycerin soap block into cubes, following the score lines on the soap, about 3 cubes per soap block.
  2. Place the soap cubes into a glass bowl.
  3. Place the bowl of soap in the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds at a time until the soap has liquified.
  4. Carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave with oven mitts.
  5. Place a toy in each of the sections of the soap mold.
  6. Pour the hot soap over the toys to cover. Fill each reservoir to the top.
  7. Pop any bubbles on the surface of the soap.
  8. Allow to cool for 20 to 60 minutes.
  9. Pop the soap out of the mold and enjoy!

These DIY Star Wars soaps make great party favors, stocking stuffers, or gifts for any Star Wars fan.

If you have kids who don't like washing their hands or taking baths, these soaps can help encourage them to get cleaner. That's the only way to get the prize inside!

You can wrap the soaps individually in plastic bags, tying shut with a ribbon or twine. The kids are gonna love these so much you might find yourself asking to wash their hands LESS! Ha!

    I jumped here from Too Cute Tuesday, and this definitely fits the mold! (hey, I made a pun!)

    What a cute idea! Yes, Star Wars mania has definitely invaded your home but that’s okay because the soaps are cool! And after the soaps are used up, you still have the awesome micromachines to play with or display. Win-win!
