What You Need For Your Shamrock Homemade Soap Activity With Kids

• 1 1/2-pounds melt and pour clear soap base
• 1 teaspoon of Irish Cream scented oil
• Dark green, medium green and light green mica coloring powder
• Medium green cosmetic glitter
• Dark green cosmetic glitter
• Light green cosmetic glitter
• Shamrock soap mold (or this one, as pictured)
• Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
• 3 microwave safe measuring cups

How To Make Shamrock Soap

Start by adding 24, 1” cubes of soap to one measuring cup. Then add the Irish Creme scented oil.

Melt the mixture in a microwave in 30 second bursts, until completely melted.

Split mixture evenly into the three measuring cups.

Add dark green mica to the first measuring cup and mix thoroughly.

Next, add the glitter and mix it into the soap mixture.

Spray the mold with rubbing alcohol. Pour the dark green soap mixture evenly into each mold shape. Spray the soap with rubbing alcohol to avoid bubbles forming.

Add medium green mica to the second measuring cup. You may need to reheat to melt the soap. Mix thoroughly.

Add glitter and mix it into the soap mixture. Spray previous soap layers with rubbing alcohol, so the layers will adhere to each other.

Pour medium green soap mixture evenly into each mold cavity. Spray the soap with rubbing alcohol to avoid bubbles forming.

Add light green mica to the third measuring cup. Mix the color into the melted soap base.

Add the glitter and mix it into the soap mixture. Spray the previous soap layer with rubbing alcohol, so the layers will adhere to each other.

Pour the light green soap mixture evenly into each mold cavity. Spray the soap with rubbing alcohol to avoid bubbles forming.

Let your soaps set overnight to harden then store them in an airtight container. A mason jar would be cute wouldn’t it?
