Our soap jelly recipe is simple and budget-friendly. I already had liquid hand soap, so I just needed to grab the unflavored gelatin, which costs $2.00 at Walmart. Making these soap jellies was a blast, and my granddaughters loved using them to wash their hands – they couldn't get enough of the wiggly, jiggly fun!
An Important Tip
Always place your silicone mold on a cookie tray before pouring the soap mixture. Refrigerating the soap jellies is necessary, and using a tray makes it much easier to handle and transport them without the risk of spills. Trying to move silicone trays filled with liquid can be quite challenging!
Can I make soap jellies without a mold?
You can use an ice cube tray if you don't have or prefer not to purchase a soap mold. Alternatively, you can make them into bars by pouring the mixture into a casserole dish and cutting them into squares or shapes using the same instructions. Shop my soap mold here!
Place a couple of soap jellies in a soap dish and store the rest in the refrigerator. Check out these adorable soap dishes I found on Amazon at an amazing price. Click the highlighted text to shop.
How to store soap jellies?
Place soap jellies made with liquid soap and gelatin in a container with a lid and store them in the refrigerator. Storing soap jellies in the fridge can help prolong their shelf life, especially during the summer months, or if you live in a warm climate. Storing them in the fridge will cause slight condensation but don't worry about the excess moisture, blot the soap jelly with a paper towel before displaying them in a soap dish. During the winter months, you can keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
