How To Make These DIY Leprechaun Lucky Lime Hand Soaps:
First gather all the supplies you need and have them ready at hand to make your leprechaun gifts.
Invest in a block of glycerin soap base (Amazon affiliate link) and you can use it all year. Insert various small items to make the holidays and seasons not only fun but a little bit cleaner! Cut your soap block into squares about 1” x 1” in size. This will help it melt fast and evenly. I usually eyeball the size of the mold to determine how many pieces I need to fill it, then add 1 or 2 for good measure. Pop your blocks into a large saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until it is completely melted.
Place a coin in each spot in your mold that you would like to make a soap in. This mold came from Ikea, but you can also pick one up on Amazon. HERE is a similar one I found, but the squares are twice as large as mine.
Remove soap from heat and quickly stir in your desired amount of green glitter (1 tsp). Add lime essential oil, a natural antibacterial, to your desired scent strength. About 30 drops should be enough.
Drop a four leaf clover coin into each soap mold. (I got my St. Patrick’s day coins at the dollar store.) Pour melted soap base over coins to fill your mold.
Let sit until fully hardened, at least an hour or more. Then remove your soap carefully from the mold.
Store in a cool dry place when not using your soaps. Hand soap can be a thoughtful and practical gift. Seasonal or Holiday-Themed Hand Soaps are also just fun decor in your own home. It is fun to decorate for the holiday with St. Patrick’s Day-themed items like shamrock garlands, leprechaun soap, or green glitter.
