- Hi, guys. How is it going?
So, I am so sorry I missed last DIY Sunday,
but I think what I'm going to do for now on
is just do DIY Sunday every other weekend
until I can get my schedule back on track.
Things have been so hectic for me.
I hope you guys understand
I'm just trying to get everything flowing
and so that way I can can stick
to my normal schedule like usual.
But for now, it's going to be every other Sunday.
So, for today's DIY,
I have something awesome for you
and these are perfect for spring and summer time.
We will be making some geodesic soap gems
and I love these.
These are perfect for like party favors.
So, if you will be hosting any parties
this spring and summer
like baby showers or bridal showers,
you can totally customize these into the color theme
and that's what I love about them.
Like who cannot not like soap, right?
So, you could change them up
to any scent you like and all that good stuff.
So, this is super cute.
Let's get started.
Okay, so here's a list of materials you would need.
I will also provide links where you can find these
on my blog, LifeAnnStyle.com.
All right, so you're going to need glycerin soap melt.
For a better deal, I ordered mine online,
but you can also pick this up from your local craft store.
You will also need soap colorant.
To add some scent, you will need essential oils
that are made especially for soap making.
Trays or deep molds.
You will need a deep mold in order
to cut up the geodesic shapes.
Some Pyrex cups
and lastly, rubbing alcohol
for cleaning and eliminating bubbles.
First, you need to cut out the glyrecin
into cubes like shapes to fit in to the Pyrex cup
and make it easier to melt.
You can use a double boiler
or pop this into the microwave
to melt for about one to two minutes.
Once all the glyrecin is fully melted,
you can add in any color that you like,
then other essential oils
like tea tree oil or whatever you prefer.
This is customizable remember that.
Here I have some color powders left from my previous DIYs
that I want to experiment and play around with,
so I am just mixing this up with a little rubbing alcohol
and then I will pour it into my melted soap.
What I noticed about these color powders
are that they had a more opaque look than translucent.
So, if you want to go for that look
then this is the way to go.
Make sure to mix the solution well.
Then after mixing it,
pour into your container.
I like using these mini loaf trays right here
because they're geek.
All right, so once you poured it in,
go ahead and spray on some rubbing alcohol
onto the surface.
This will eliminate any bubbles forming up top.
Let this sit for a good five hours or so
or you can also refrigerate this for a quicker result.
Once your soap solidifies,
take it out of the mold.
If it's stubborn,
use a butter knife to pop it out.
Take a sharp knife and cut into big chunky cubes.
After that, make random slices around the soap
just like what I'm doing here.
The fun part about this is that
not everything needs to be perfect.
You can cut anywhere randomly
and it will turn out looking great.
Be careful not to cut yourself, though.
With the leftover pieces,
I will save those into Ziploc bags
and make a new DIY with them.
And once you're done,
put this into any other fun containers
and gift them to your friends or family
or even have them in your guest bathroom.
All righty, guys,
so that is it.
I hope you enjoy this video.
