While I’ve never been a person that just has to watch the game (football, baseball, basketball or soccer), I love the social aspect around watching sports. Sports are a great reason to get together with friends and family, eat delicious food and root for your team. In particular, football is one of my favorite sports to watch. It doesn’t hurt that the Seattle Seahawks have been in the Super Bowl two years in a row (Go Hawks!) =) If you’re looking for a fun project to celebrate the end of football season, these Mini Melt and Pour Football Soaps are perfect! The Guest Mini Football Mold creates four adorably small soaps that fit perfectly in the palm of your hand.

This project is straightforward; simply use the Injector Tool to fill in the lace details with white soap, then pour the brown soap on top. Filling in the details does take a little practice and a steady hand. I find spraying the mold with a thin layer of 99% isopropyl alcohol before using the Injector Tool helps small amounts of soap “spread” into the cavity details. I scented these soaps with Grass Stain and Leather Fragrance Oil for a combination that’s both fresh and slightly smoky.


I’m thinking I need to make this project again during a football party. If you have young children, you know watching football is not exactly the most entertaining activity for them. Placing the white soap into the small details would be difficult for children, but mixing and pouring the brown soap would be doable. Then, the kids and your guests have some football soap to take home with them after the game. =)
