How to Make Patriotic DIY Star Soap Bars

May 15, 2022 by Greta Brinkley Leave a Comment

Making handmade soap is such a fun pastime and a hobby the whole family can get involved in. These Patriotic Star Soap Bars are a really fun take on the whole DIY soap trend.

The unique shaped and colored stars really take center stage in the clear base, and create such a fun bar of soap that is sure to have people talking!  These are a total conversation starter, and perfect for selling online, at craft shows, or giving as gifts.

  • 6 1”x1” cubes Clear Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap Base
  • 6 – 1”x1” cubes Goat’s Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
  • Loaf Soap Mold with wavy soap cutter
  • Star candy/soap mold
  • 1-2 drops Blueberry soap colorant
  • 2-3 drops Cherry soap colorant
  • Microwave safe measuring cup
  • 20 drops Ocean Breeze Fragrance Oil
  • Microwave safe measuring cup(s) with spout
  • 4 Wooden craft sticks (for stirring)
  • (Optional) Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol to reduce soap bubbles

 

Directions:

1. In a microwave safe measuring cup, heat 2 cubes of goats milk soap on high for 30 seconds in the microwave. Remove and stir well. If soap is not completely melted, heat for additional 10 second intervals, stirring after each heating session, until fully melted.

2. Pour the soap into the star mold. Allow to set for about 15-20 minutes until soap is completely hardened. Once soap is set, remove from mold.

3. Repeat step one.

4. Add blueberry soap colorant and stir well. Pour the soap into the star mold. Allow to set for about 15-20 minutes until soap is completely hardened. Once soap is set, remove from mold.

5. Using a different measuring cup, or after washing the one you used, repeat step one again.

6. Add cherry soap colorant and stir well. Pour the soap into the star mold. Allow to set for about 15-20 minutes until soap is completely hardened. Once soap is set, remove from mold.

7. Once all 3 colors of soap are set, arrange them into the loaf soap mold. You will only be able to fit about half of the star shapes soaps. Save the others for hand soaps or for another loaf of soap.

8 In a microwave safe measuring cup, heat clear glycerin soap on high for 30 seconds in the microwave. Remove and stir well. If soap is not completely melted, heat for additional 10 second intervals, stirring after each heating session, until fully melted.

9. Add fragrance oil and stir well.

10. Pour into soap mold, over the star soap. Spray with alcohol, if desired. This helps the layers of soap to adhere, and get rid of the bubbles.

11. Allow soap loaf to set completely, approximately 4-6 hours.  Once they’re set all the way, you can then cut the loaf into 2.5 inch bars with the wavy soap cutter.

Voila!  Aren’t these cool?  The stars kind of look like they’re hand soaps in a cellophane bag, ready for gift giving.
