Neighbor Gift Idea: Christmas Soaps with Free Printable

December 17, 2014 by Kaysi Leave a Comment

A couple of years ago I made some fun snowman soap for neighbor and teacher gifts for Christmas.  They were such a big hit that I thought that I would make some more this year but this time make more than just snowman.  I made 4 different characters for these Christmas soaps.  Each of them are fun and would make a perfect neighbor gift.  Or they are perfect just to have at your house.

Here is a quick video to show the process of how to make these (and to show how easy it is to make them :D).
I bought a variety of soaps for each character. I took off the labels and then used some goo gone to get the sticky part off of it.

For the reindeer and Santa, I glued some things on it with a glue gun.  Then I cut out some vinyl with my Silhouette for the rest of the soaps.  Here is the cut file for the Silhouette and a SVG one.

I added the vinyl to each soap.

Then I added the finishing touches.  I love how they turned out!   Update- With the reindeer, I didn’t love the look of the pipe cleaners, so I instead cut the antlers out of brown card stock and glued it to the back (the antlers are part of the cut file).

Then I printed out the little tag printable.

And that’s it!!  So easy and I love how they turned out.  I love the simplicity of the penguin and the Santa.  But I also love the little touches of the snoman and reindeer.  I’m excited to hand these out to my friends and neighbors.
