Helloooo friends! Today we are making some super kawaii school supply soap!! I know you guys love the soap videos AND the back-to-school DIYs, so I thought it would be fun to combine the two ? Enjoy!!
Supply List
- For all soap:
- White melt-and-pour soap
- Soap coloring / food color (if you use food color, just be sure not to use too much so it doesn’t stain your hands when you use the soap)
- Soap mold – I use this rectangle one in the video
- For decorating soap:
- 1/4 cup liquid castile soap
- 1/4 cup baby oil
- 6(ish) T cornstarch
- Cocoa powder (If you need to dye it brown for faces. Do not use black food color — it will bleed over time.)

About the decorating soap…
Ever since I started making soap on my channel, I’ve been searching for a way to add small details to soap! Regular melt and pour soap sets waaaaay too fast to dot it on with a toothpick, and all the other solutions I’ve found involve some really strange ingredients. And that meant no kawaii faces on the soap! It’s still adorable, but we like maximum kawaii-ness here 😉 I tried royal icing (works fine, but it’s not soap), edible ink markers, edible paint, and more, but alas, no solution! AND THEN one day, I stumbled upon this Buzzfeed video which had a recipe for soap clay!! Fantastic!!! I tried it out and it worked beautifully, except the next day it turned very sticky and unusable. Shucks! So I did some messing around with the recipe, and the decorating soap recipe was born!!! And I am super super super happy to share it with you guys 🙂 Hope you like it!!
