Create Your Own Scrunchie Soap: A Fun DIY Project

Unleash Your Creativity with Scrunchie Soap

Feeling creative? Want to try something new? Here is a fun project you can do at home with safe ingredients. Make an exciting “scrunchie soap” that is perfect as a gift or for use by you and your family. This project is not just about making soap; it's about adding a splash of fun to your self-care routine.

What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the fun part, let’s gather our supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Paper cupcake holder

• Shower scrunchie

• Plastic strip and sticky tape

• Soap colouring of your choice (I used pink)

• Fragrance of your choice (I used a Musk blend)

• Pearlescent powder

• 200g Clear M and P soap base

• Jugs, stirrers, scale, stick, microwave

  
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, let’s get started!

1. Prepare Your Workspace

   Position the paper cupcake holder on a flat surface. This will be your soap's home.

   
   

2. Prepare the Scrunchie

   Fold the scrunchie into itself and secure it with a plastic strip and tape. This will keep it neat and tidy while you work.

   
   

3. Melt the Soap Base

   Chop the M and P soap base into a jug. Melt it in the microwave in 30-second bursts until it’s just liquid. Keep an eye on it; you don’t want it to boil over!

   
   

4. Add Colour

   Add soap colouring drop by drop and stir until you achieve your desired tone. Remember, a little goes a long way!

   
   

5. Add Fragrance

   Pour in your chosen fragrance. A guideline is to use 2% of the soap weight. Stir well to mix.

   
   

6. Pour the Soap

   Gently pour the melted soap into the positioned paper cupcake holder until it is two-thirds full.

   
   

Method Continued

1. Insert the Scrunchie

   Carefully insert your scrunchie into the soap, holding it submerged. This is where the magic happens!

   
   

2. Fill the Holder

   Gently pour the remaining soap around the scrunchie until the holder is full.

   
   

3. Secure the Scrunchie

   Use a stick to secure the scrunchie in place for about a minute or until it sets.

   
   

10. Cool Down

Allow the soap to cool for approximately 60 minutes. Once it’s cooled, carefully release the plastic strip.

11. Admire Your Creation

Stand back and admire your beautiful scrunchie soap! You’ve just created a unique piece of art that’s both functional and fabulous.
