DIY Soap Valentine
Happy Valentine's Day!
We Love creating our own Valentines. DIY Valentines make the holiday even more special. This year I got my inspiration to make Clever DIY Soap Valentines from a friend who recently launched a soap making business. Concurrently, L received a small soap making kit in his Tinker Crate subscription, and he was totally into it. All we needed was a clever tagline and it took L all of 30 seconds to come up with one. “Valentine, I need to come ‘clean’, I’m crazy about you!” Alternately, you could use “Valentine, It’s no ‘soaprise’, I think you’re great!”

DIY Soap Valentines
- Add a couple drops of your chosen scent and colorant then stir with the crafts sticks.
- Pour into the mold and let sit for about 40 minutes.
- L’s idea- Add glitter if you choose to. Remember, glitter is a choice.

DIY Valentines
- Once the soap has set it will easily come out of the molds.
- Print out our Valentine Soap Templates or make your own. Then have the kids cut out the hearts and add decoration as desired.
- We packaged ours in tiny paper bags but I’m sure there are a million ways to approach packaging.
- We had some leftover ribbon from last year, so we tied a little piece to each bag to dress it up.
- We printed our sentiment on plain paper and used a heart-shaped hole puncher to cut it out then glued it (glue dots) to the paper bag.
