Supplies Needed to Make Homemade Creepy Bug Soap:

1 1/2 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional)
2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil (peppermint, lavender, lemon, vanilla, etc.)
16 ounces clear glycerin melt-and-pour soap
Microwave Safe Measuring Cup
Microwave
Knife
91% Isopropyl Alcohol in a spray bottle
Soap Mold (can find at the craft store)
Plastic Bug Toys (can find at the dollar store)

How to Make Homemade Creepy Bug Soap

Step 1

Cut melt-and-pour soap into cubes and place into a microwave safe measuring cup or container.

Step 2

Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave then remove and stir. Repeat until melted (about 1 minute total).

Craft note:

Tip: Do not allow the soap to burn as it will smell terrible and not be very useful as soap.

Step 3

Once soap is melted, remove it from the heat and mix in granulated sugar and vitamin E oil (if using). You want the sugar to dissolve just a bit in the soap.

Step 4

Add your essential oil and stir well.

Step 5

Pour into soap molds until about halfway full.

Step 6

Place in your favorite plastic bugs. (We found our creatures at the dollar store.) Remember that your mold is upside down, so put bugs in so they are facing the top of the soap when complete (put them in upside down).

Step 7

Top off the mold with more of the soap mixture and then give the tops of your soap a few quick sprays of the isopropyl alcohol. Doing this will remove any air bubbles trapped at the surface and give your soap a more clear look.

Step 8

Allow your soap to harden in the mold for at least 2 hours before removing. To remove, flip the mold over and push gently on the backside. Soaps will pop right out.
