DIY | Before Bed Routine

I promised to write down the DIY on how to create bathtub crayons, so here you go: This is what you need:

• Block of glycerin soap (white or clear)
• Food coloring or old crayons
• 2 Glass measuring cup
• Something to stir with
• A mold or an ice cube tray (something like empty lipbalm/gluestick containers could work well too)
• Last but not least a cutting board and a knife

TIP! If you want a darker bathtub crayon, using white soap and old crayons will do just that. If you want a more watercolor effect, I would stick with clear soap and food coloring. This is what you do:

• You start by putting some of your soap into the glass measuring cup (or something else that can handle the microwave).
• Put it in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stir in between.

Old Crayon method:

• In another measuring cup add crayons and melt it in the microwave. About 30 seconds at a time, until it is all melted.
• Now stir your soap and old crayons together
• Pour the mixture into your molds
• Let it sit until completely harden and then pop the bathtub crayons out of the molds.

Woohoo, draw your little heart out!!  

Food coloring method:

• Take the melted soap and stir in food color.

TIP! You want to add more than you think. If you think it has the color of your dreams, add a bit more. The color somehow gets lighter when it hardens.

• Pour the mixture into your molds
• Let it sit until fully harden and then pop the bathtub crayons out of the molds

Now enjoy!!

I truly hope you enjoy this little DIY, end let me know how it ends up. Please send me picture of your artwork on either facebook or Instagram. I would love to see the masterpieces before they wash away. 

Disclaimer: always try out the bathtub crayons in a little corner of your tub, so make sure they are not discoloring anything.
