DIY Bath and Body products are some of my favorite types of craft projects, and these candy corn soaps are one of my favorite soaps that I’ve made! They’re absolutely adorable and a TON of fun! These candy corn soaps look super impressive, but they’re actually really easy to make, and they only take about 15 minutes of “work” time! Of course, there’s a little additional time involved in the cooling process, but the actual hands-on part takes less than 15 minutes!

DIY Candy Corn Soap

This cute candy corn soap will look super fun and festive in your soap dish at your Halloween party or Thanksgiving dinner!

What You’ll Need:

Goats Milk or Shea Butter Soap Base
Soap Colorant (we used Sunset Yellow and Sunset Red)
Candy Corn Fragrance Oil or other fragrance of choice (Autumn Wreath is a yummy fall scent if Candy Corn scent isn’t your jam!)
Silicone Mini Loaf Soap Mold
2-cup Pyrex Measuring Cup
99% Isopropyl Alcohol in a Misting Spray Bottle

This recipe will yield one loaf of soap weighing approximately 1 pound which can be cut into 5-6 bars of soap.

Start by cutting the large 2-lb block of soap base in half (set half aside for later), and cut 1 lb. of the soap base into small cubes. Divide the cubes into three piles. Place one of the piles of soap cubes into the Pyrex measuring cup, and melt in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each microwave session to ensure that the soap is completely melted. Carefully mix in Sunset Yellow soap colorant and Candy Corn fragrance oil until the desired color/scent is reached, and pour the liquid soap into the mold. Spray the top of the soap with isopropyl alcohol to break the surface tension and remove any air bubbles, and allow the soap to cool for 20 minutes.

Repeat the process for the orange (Sunset Red mixed with a tiny bit of Sunset Yellow) and white layers, allowing the orange layer to cool for 20 minutes before pouring the white layer. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before pouring the melted soap into the mold, spray the top of the previous soap layer with alcohol again to help the layers adhere together! Allow the soap to cool until it is completely firm (around 60-90 minutes depending on the temperature and humidity).

Carefully unmold the soap – doesn’t that look SO cool?! I love the way that the stripes perfectly match the actual candy corn colors!

Use a knife or a soap slicer to slice the loaf into individual bars of soap.

I really loved the way that these candy corn soap slices looked SO much that I could hardly bring myself to cut them into triangles! Honestly, I think they’re super cool either way!

Use a knife to carefully cut each bar of soap into a candy corn triangle shape. Easy peasy!

Seriously adorable, right!?

I can’t even get over how much fun these are (AND how easy they were to make!)!
