Supplies:

  • 1 package of white soap base
  • 1 package of opaque soap base
  • Soap colorings – I use a package that has multiple colors. ย The colors I used were: black, amber, orange red, rose pink, and sunset yellow
  • Essential oil – I used lavender in this but for back to school I would recommend this one (keeps germs away)
  • Cosmetic grade glitter – gold
  • Soap Mold
  • Bowls

Instructions:
Note: This is a super easy DIY, but does require some patience! ย This project is all about the layers. The layers are as follows:

  • Bowl A: Opaque soap base, 2 rows, dyed black (pencil tip)
  • White soap base, 2 rows, ย few drops of amber to form a creamy white (sharpened part of the pencil)
  • Opaque soap base, 4 rows, mix of sunset yellow and orange red, gold glitter (pencil)
  • White soap base, 1 row, few drops of black to form a grey (metal before the eraser)
  • White soap base, 2 rows, rose pink (eraser)
  1. Gather your supplies.
  2. The soap bases come in a grid of squares. ย You will need to cut along the lines of rows to make melting the soap base easier. ย Add the following amounts to each bowl:
    – Bowl A: opaque soap base 2 rows
    – Bowl B: white soap base 2 rows
    – Bowl C: opaque soap base 4 rows
    – Bowl D: white soap base 1 row
    – Bowl E: white soap base 2 rows
  3. Starting with bowl A, place in microwave for 30 second intervals (stirring between each) until melted. ย 
  4. Carefully remove from the microwave. Add black coloring and stir. ย (I like to use craft sticks to stir. They are easy and you can toss them when you are done!) ย You are going for a graphite color. If you are adding essential oils, this is the step you will want to do so.
  5. Once your color is made, pour into your soap mold. ย 
  6. Allow the soap to set (10-15 minutes)
  7. Now it is time to move on to bowl B. ย After this soap is melted, add a few drops of amber. ย Mixed with the white of the soap it will form a cream color. ย 
  8. Pour over the first layer of soap and allow to set.
  9. For the third layer, melt again in the microwave. ย Once melted, color to form a pencil orange color.
  10. Dust with commercial grade cosmetic glitter. ย Donโ€™t be shy with the glitter! This is an opaque soap base so you will be able to see through it and the glitter will make this layer beautiful!
  11. Pour over the other two layers and again let it sit.
  12. Melt bowl D. ย For coloring, use a few drops of black. ย Mixed with the white soap base it will create a cool grey color perfect for the metal on the pencil. ย 
  13. Pour over the orange layer and let it set.
  14. Last layer! ย Melt bowl E in the microwave. ย Color it pink for the eraser and pour into the soap mold.
  15. Using a knife, scrape off any air bubbles that rise to the top. ย 
  16. Carefully let it sit out or put in the refrigerator. ย 
  17. Be patient! ย (This is the hardest part of the whole thing!) It will need to fully set. ย If you take it out to early before it has hardened fully the colors will bleed together. ย Allow to fully cool for 2-3 hours.
  18. Cut the soap into bars. ย Then, cut each bar into thirds. ย On the bottom layer (the black layer) cut two angles to form a point. ย
