DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club Crafted

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club Crafted‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin, so if you’re all aboard the pumpkin spice train, you’re going to love this season DIY. Not only does this DIY pumpkin pie soap smell good enough to eat (please don’t though) it actually looks like a slice of pumpkin pie, complete with a dollop of whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of soap. It will make you smell like fall, and with a shea butter soap base, it leaves you skin feeling incredibly soft. Plus, soap – especially soap this cute – makes a great gift for any occasion this season!

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club Crafted DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club CraftedDo you ever have cute soaps that are so cute that you don’t want to use them? I kind of felt like that about these pumpkin pie slice soaps, but why waste it by not using it, right?! Put a slice on a soap dish for a cute bar to wash your hands with this season. Otherwise, wrap a piece in a clear gift wrap bag for a fun gift! I think it would make a cute hostess gift for Thanksgiving! 

Speaking of…can you believe how fast this month is going by?! I can’t believe how close we are to Thanksgiving already. 

I also learned some new soap making tips while researching for this project. For example, spraying alcohol can help remove air bubbles, so I decided to try using hairspray since I didn’t have anything pure alcohol in the house and IT WORKED. The more you know! ?

OK, let’s make soap! 

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club CraftedTime: 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • 2 lbs white soap base 
  • Yellow, orange and brown soap colorant
  • Pumpkin pie soap fragrance
  • Round silicone cake mold (6 0r 8 inch)
  • Hairspray
  • Electric mixer
  • Ground cinnamon

Note, I recommend a pre-scored soap base for easy measuring. However, measurements do not have to be exact for this DIY. 

Step 1: Melt about 8 oz. of soap base in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and replace if needed for 10 seconds until the soap is melted. Stir in yellow and brown colorant until a tan color is reached. Stir in about 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie fragrance.

Note, final product will be thinner if using 8-inch mold, so increase amount if desired. 

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club CraftedStep 3: Once the first layer of soap is set, melt an additional 25 oz. of soap base in a separate bowl. Add orange, yellow and brown colorants until you reach a deep orange color. Add about 1/2 tsp fragrance and stir to combine. 

Step 4: Pour the orange layer of soap on top of the tan layer and spray the top with hairspray to remove bubbles. Set aside to set completely before removing from the mold.

Step 6: Melt another 6 oz. of soap base in a separate bowl. Once melted and slightly cooled, use an electric mixer to whip the soap until thick and fluffy. 

Note, at this point, you must work quickly as whipped soap will harden quickly.

It should stick on it’s own, and remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect! Sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon and set aside for whipped soap to set. 

DIY Pumpkin Pie Soap | Club CraftedNow it’s ready to use! I don’t know what to do with all this soap, so I think it will make a great gift for friends this year. Otherwise, I guess I’ll save leftovers for next year. Either way, I just LOVE the scent of pumpkin pie and spices!

    It says the whipped soap hardens quickly, but how quickly?

      Hi Shea, it can harden within a minute depending on the soap used and the thickness. For best results, work quickly and keep it warm.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
