Chicks and Bunnies Melt & Pour Soap DIY

Filed Under: Bath & Body Tutorials, Melt & Pour Soap

Learn how to create adorable chicks and bunnies soap in this step by step tutorial. Made out of goat milk soap base, they look just like Peeps!

Spring officially starts on March 20th. I can’t wait for warmer weather, vibrant blooms and longer days. These adorable Chicks and Bunnies Melt and Pour Soaps are the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming season. In particular, I’m going to give them to family and friends on Easter. The kids will love to help me make them and pop them into friends’ Easter baskets. =) Made with the limited edition Chicks and Bunnies Silicone Mold, they look just like classic Easter treats. These molds are now sold out. You can find Easter mold options here.

This project is ideal for beginners, and is a great project to make with kids (with adult supervision, of course). Made with creamy Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap and scented with the crisp Green Fig Fragrance Oil, they lather up and smell as good as they look. The soft pastel colors are achieved by adding shavings of Color Blocks. If you’ve never used Color Blocks before, check out this Soap Queen TV video to learn how.

Milk Project Roundup
Soap making with milk is popular because of milk’s natural moisturizing properties. For the past two weeks, the blog has been full of soapy projects made with milk and milk powders. Milk can replace up to 100% of the water in your cold process recipe. Because milk contains natural sugars that can burn when introduced to sodium hydroxide lye, it’s important to keep temperatures cool. My favorite way to prevent scorched lye milk is to freeze the milk in advance and add the lye slowly. For more information on creating the lye and milk mixture, check out the How to Add Lye to Milk for Cold Process Soap blog post.
