Sparkly, sweet smelling soap recipe inspired by Sofia the First and friends! These melt and pour glycerin soaps are simple enough for children to help make and are perfect for washing hands! Thank you, Disney Junior, for sponsoring our creativity. This post contains affiliate links.

If you like making your own soap you’ll love our homemade gummy soap, tattoo soap and glycerin goldfish soap!

The week before we moved to Virginia, the girls had a week full of playdates with friends. When you have a best friend, no amount of time is enough. So when you find out that you will be separated by seven states, you take advantage of any time that you have! We invited Kaylee’s friend, Abby, over for a girls afternoon.

They made waffles with berries and cream for lunch, played “hotel” (pretending to stay in a fancy hotel on vacation), and made this darling gem soap recipe inspired by Sofia the First and her friends.

Both of my girls love Sofia the First. We wanted to make something special when Abby came over. We made a stop at our local craft store to get craft supplies and found everything we needed to make these sparkly gem soaps. We’ve only ever made the melt and pour soaps. They are extremely easy to customize with endless combinations of colors and scents. We’ll show you how to make your own!

  • Stir in a few pinches of glitter.
  • Add drops of soap coloring until you reach the desired tint! (We used inexpensive soap fragrance drops from the craft store. You can use essential oils as well. Add a few drops, stir, and continue until your soap recipe smells nice and sweet. We used a mixed berry scent.)

  • Place your soap mold on a baking sheet and pour melted soap mixture into the mold.

  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Pop the homemade soaps out of the mold.

Notes

If you only want to make amulet soaps you can stick with lilac for your soap coloring, but if you’d like to make soaps to match Amber and Ruby you can pick up seafoam green and peach too!

I absolutely love how this cold soap recipe turned out and the girls did too!

They made extras and delivered them to friends. We had fun making different shades by adjusting the amount of coloring that we used. I really love the dark jewel toned ones.
