The best Christmas Neighbor Gift -Snowman Soap

by 14 Comments

Do you make neighbor gifts?  Or teacher gifts?  Every year I try to come up with something little, just so I can show people that I’m thinking about them.  When it comes to gifts, I like to do something practical (I can blame my mom for that), something that they will actually use and not just sit in the closet.  And I’m not really a baker, so little treats aren’t my thing.  So I came up with these cute little snowman soaps.  They are so easy to make, super cheap (cost me $.88 for the soap) and when they are done with them, they can refill it or throw it away, yay for no clutter!  Plus everyone could use soap, making these the perfect Christmas neighbor gift.

Here is a quick video to show you how I made them (plus another design, a penguin).
This is how I made them:
I bought some white soap and used goo gone to take off the label.  I peeled off the label and then I used my fingernail and a paper towel to get the sticky part of the label off.  You will want to take a baby wipe or something to take away the grease from the goo gone.

Using black and orange vinyl, I made the snowman face with my CAMEO.

Then with some washi tape, I made a little scarf.  You could totally use ribbon too, it would be super cute.

Then I made this fun tags for the soaps.  Go here for the free printable.

I used a scalloped punch to punch the tag, but you could just cut the circle with scissors.  Then I wrapped the tag around with ribbon.

And that’s it!  A super easy, cheap and practical neighbor gift!

I’m thinking that I’m giving these to my sons’ teachers.  I’m sure they could always use more soap Smile
