Firstly, let’s take a look at why soap recipes are a good idea.

But why not add some personalization to it, though?
You can get your favourite scent and enjoy a really special texture that is going to be extra special each time you go into your bathroom.
There’s another element to learning how to make your own soap jelly.
That’s the satisfaction of knowing that you can make it so that, if you were ever in a situation where you had no one in the house, you could make your very own soap jelly!
One thing I really like about this collection is that each soap jelly recipe is unique.
This is the case for shapes, of course, but also the scents, textures, and making instructions.
There is a wide variety here so that everyone can enjoy their own approach to making soap.
This is a great rainy day activity to take on with little ones or other crafters such as yourself who can enjoy the creativity of making something new.
Plus, it’s something that most people will never have tried before — perfect for a fun, memorable crafting experiment.
If you are looking for a gift for someone in your life who loves soaps and other bath products, these adorable shapes are going to be wonderful for customizing soap to their favourite scents, and creating especially for them.
