  • - 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.

  • If you do, don't forget to give it a thumbs up

  • to support this channel.

  • And also, comment below.

  • Let me know what colors you will be making

  • or who you will be making it for,

  • if you have any upcoming parties you will be hosting.

  • Comment below, I love to hear it

  • and also, if you haven't seen my past videos,

  • I have them all right here for you.

  • And I will talk to you next week.

  • Ciao, bye.
