DIY Hand Soap Art

Turn your hand soap into a work of art! I’m kinda bored with just one color. I can’t help it! I’m all about little details. It’s the artist in me. 😉

Let’s make our hand soap way, way cooler people! Anybody can do this so don’t feel scared to try. Your kids are totally going to love it too! Plus… and this is a big plus… I love DIYs that are very useful and not wasteful. We need hand soap and you will end up using it all (no waste), so it’s an excuse to be funky and smart so you’ll keep doing it and trying different color combos!

Oh! I know you’ll try this. You have to! So I really, really want to see photos of your hand soap art on the MY DAILY SHE Facebook page! Pretty please?! I’m encouraging you to share this post (and, of course, my blog) with a ton of people. Oh, and please pin this post on Pinterest too! 😉 I’m going to be winking at you all through this post!

I am always experimenting. Whether it’s cooking, baking or painting, I’m all over the place and I’m not afraid to mess up or make big messes. That’s no lie! Ask my hubby! Don’t worry, there’s no mess with this DIY. It’s very sanitary!

So, while I was picking up cheap hand soaps at Target a while ago, I took a few minutes to think about what would happen if I mixed different soaps together and combined their different thicknesses? Well let’s see, shall we?! I went home and mixed gel hand soap with some foaming hand soap, gave it a swirl and got this!

I LOVE the ombre effect!

Tip: For the ombre effect your gel soap goes on the bottom then you add the foaming soap on top. You need to swirl it so it blends. If you don’t swirl it the foaming hand soap will just float on top (which looks very cool too).

Here’s what you need:

1. Both gel hand soap and foaming hand soap. Pick as many colors as you want to play with.
2. For the ombre effect you’ll need some gel hand soap and some foaming hand soap.
3. Clear soap dispenser or a DIY Soap Mason Jar will do.

That’s it, then mix away!

Here are some of my fun combos!

Tip: If you just mix the foaming hand soaps together you’ll create a new color. The gel soap is fun for layering different colors.

Please note: After weeks, the colors are still beautiful and defined. They will level out into rows of color and create a really cool, smooth transition from one color to the other. See below.

Enjoy!
