This is an instructable for making jelly-like soap, that does not contain any unnatural additives that are bad for sensible skin, and which is easy to make for anyone.

Why make this instead of normal soap? Because it is fun :D

The Instructable is based on a recipe found at this blog: http://homemadebathproducts.blogspot.com/

But since we would like to share this with the users of instructables.com, we decided to make an instructable with our version of the soap :)

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

The ingredients have been somewhat adjusted for our recipe, as we didn't want to deal with melting soap.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup clear liquid perfumefree soap
- 1 cup water (Boiling hot)
- 1-1½ tablespoon vodka (Prevents mold or fungus)
- Soap color (fruit color MIGHT also work)
- Essential oils
- 20-30g gelatine (1-2 envelopes, danish size ;) )

Tools:

- Molds, you can use anything that is not too rigid, like muffin shapes, small yoghurt cups etc.
- Measuring cup (½ or 1-cup size)
- Tablespoon for measuring
- Spoons for stirring
- 2 bowls

Suggestion: While normal soap can be kind of large without a problem, these can seem a little disgusting if they are too big. thin molds are also not recommended.

Note: We a re using other tools in the images, as they were taken while making the first batch (But gelatine really sticks to forks and the like)

Step 2: Preparing Gelatine

Ingredients:

- Water
- Gelatine

Tools:

- Measuring cup
- Spoon

1: Place the gelatine in one of the bowls.

2: Pour the water over (Make sure it is VERY hot, as it's hard to dissolve such a large amount of gelatine).

3: Stir WELL, till the gelatine has been dissolved (almost) completely.

4: Remove undissolved lumps.

Step 3: Mix Soap Other Ingredients

Ingredients:

- Soap
- Vodka
- Essential oil
- Color

Tools:

- Bowl
- Spoon
- Measuring cup
- Tablespoon

1: Measure up the soap and vodka in the other bowl.

2: Add color, a few drops at a time, and stir, till the color is to your liking (won't change much when mixed with gelatine).

Suggestion: Keep the colors light, as this looks more "fresh" and fits better for a bathroom-look
(Unlike the strong orange color in this Instructable)

3: Add essential oil. It should have a somewhat strong smell, as it will, unlike the color, be dampened when mixed with the gelatine.

Step 4: Mix It!

Ingredients:

- Eh... Step 2 and 3?

Tools:

- Your 2 bowls of fun!
- One of the spoons

1: Carefully pour the soapmix into the gelatine, and carefully stir it together.

2: Optional: If there is too much foam on the mixture, remove it with a spoon.

Step 5: Into the Molds and Into the Fridge

Ingredients:

- The mixture

Tools:

- The molds
- A fridge or cold place

1: Pour the mixture into the molds.

2: Place the molds in the fridge or cold place.

3: Wait for an hour or two...

Note: You are propably wondering why we put it on top of a big tray and placed that in the fridge.
Well.. The molds are not too rigid, and the mixture is very liquid-y, so we needed some support under, to avoid spilling.

And there you have it! Wobbly bubbly jelly fun for the whole family! :D
