I love crafts that kids or adults can easily do but they are still classy enough to give as a handmade gift or have on display in your home. It seems like there are endless opportunities to give small gifts throughout the year.

Whether it’s for teachers, Mother’s Day, Christmas or a thank you gift, I’m always wracking my brain to come up with easy ways to get the kids involved in gift giving. This decoupage soap craft is so adorable and couldn’t be easier to make.

Wrap them up in cellophane and attach a gift card or some yummy smelling soap, and you have the sweetest gift ever! Or you could make them just to set out in your guest bathroom.

I love that you can customize these soaps with any craft paper to make them just how you want! You can often find these type of smooth soaps at Dollar Tree . . . making this one of the best Dollar Tree crafts ever!

Cutting out details from scrapbook paper with scissors

First, cut out your craft paper to fit the soaps. I just cut around the flowers on the paper but you could do any shape that you want!

Add a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the soap.
