We are all about celebrating and enjoying every little holiday in our house. St. Patrick’s is a fun, light holiday that is super easy to prep for. All you need is a green shirt and some green treats to make it a mini party. This year I decided to add a few more touches. These Lucky Lime Leprechaun Soaps make perfect DIY St. Patrick’s Day gifts. They are also great hand soap bars at the sink for a bit of fun decor. Kids will also love them in the tub. When the washing is done there is a fun Leprechaun coin to keep inside!

Making St. Patrick’s Day-themed DIY hand soap bars is a fun and creative way to celebrate the holiday while also promoting good hygiene. These festive soaps, infused with green hues, shamrock shapes, or refreshing scents like mint or citrus, add a seasonal touch to your home. They also make thoughtful gifts for friends and family. By making them yourself, you can control the ingredients, ensuring they are skin-friendly and free from harsh chemicals. Plus, this hands-on project is an engaging activity for kids and adults alike. It allows for a blend of holiday spirit and practicality. Whether you’re crafting for personal use or as part of a festive gathering, these handmade soaps bring charm and functionality to your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

DIY Hand Soap Bar Craft Supplies Needed:

Making St. Patrick’s Day-themed glycerin soaps is incredibly easy and requires just a few simple ingredients. With a glycerin soap base, soap colorant (optional), essential oils for fragrance, and fun molds, you can create festive bars in no time. You can even add extras like glitter, dried clovers, or small shamrock coins for a decorative touch. This simple process makes it perfect for beginners, kids, or anyone looking for a quick and fun DIY project to celebrate the holiday.

  • Lime essential oil
  • Silicone mold

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.

melt glycerin

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.

Conclusion

Creating St. Patrick’s Day-themed soap can be a fun and festive DIY project. Wrap your homemade St. Patty’s Day soaps up in some cute little gift bags. There you have the cutest St. Patrick’s Day DIY Gifts to give out in the classroom or as party favors. They make great little gifts from leprechauns!
