What you need
5 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup castile soap
½ tbsp. glycerin
3 cups boiling water
Molds or Jars
Food coloring (I used gel)
Instructions
Step 1:
In a measuring cup add liquid soap and gelatin; set the mixture aside so it can thicken up (this should take about a minute).
Step 2:
In a large bowl or pot add glycerin to hot water stirring for a few seconds. Once the glycerin has been added stir in the soap mixture; stirring until the mixture has dissolved into the boiling water (make sure there are no lumps).
Step 3:
If you’re adding the mixture to molds add coloring to the bowl and pour into the molds. If you’re using jars add mixture to a few bowls, and place two drops of food coloring whisking until the color has been blended.
Step 4:
Cover with saran wrap and place in the fridge until the mixture is firm.
Step 5:
Layer your jars and give away as gifts.
Where do I find the castile soap?
Amazon has castele soap and glycerin. Fred Meyers has castele soap as well.
what is that kid of liquid soap and where would I fin it and the glycerin????
Too bad there where not pictures to show the work as it went along in the process. It sounds like it would be nice. What about adding fragance?
I love this idea!! I have some canning jars just lying around- these are
perfect! What’s the shelf life?
Wonderful idea for Christmas presents. My grandkids will love it!
Wonderful! They make great Easter gifts as well 🙂

I can see how you would just throw some of this “jelly” into the bathtub. How do you use this in the shower?
You add a bit of the jellies to your shower puff and later it up… If you would like more details here is the link to the full post 🙂 http://www.savynaturalista.com/2014/01/17/shower-jellies-diy/
