Teddy Bear Soap Tutorial

Here it is, my very first tutorial ever!!! Please when you are finished reading leave a comment letting me know what you liked and didn't like so I'll know for next time.


These cute little soaps are perfect for baby shower favors or to put into gift baskets, and best of all they are really fun to make!

1. The first step is to gather all your supplies. Here is what you will need:
-Raw glycerin soap
-Soap Dye
-Fragrance Drops
-Plastic Mold
-Small Plastic Teddy Bears
-Wooden Spoon
-Sauce Pan or Microwavable Safe Dish to melt soap
-Rubbing Alcohol

I found all these items at my local craft store pretty easy, except the spoon and pan.


2. Now it is time to melt your raw soap. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove top, either way you want to melt it slowly. I prefer the stove top mainly because my microwave is in the garage and barely used. I melt my soap on low heat.


3. Once soap is completely melted it is time to add the color and the fragrance. I like to put one drop of color at a time so I'm sure to get a color I like. They say to use 1-5 drops per ounce of soap. For this tutorial I'm using a pink dye and sweet pea fragrance.



4. Make sure soap is not too hot and start to pour in the mold cavities. Only fill them half way full and let harden for 5 minutes or so. They need to be just hard enough so the toy can sit up straight.


5. Spritz the hardened soap with rubbing alcohol and place they toy in the middle of each cavity. The rubbing alcohol helps adhere the soap together.



6. The last step is to fill up the rest of the mold cavities with melted soap and let harden. I like to wait an hour or so, and for faster drying times let it harden in the fridge. After you pop your soaps out of the mold they should look like this!
