These easy DIY pumpkin soaps are a fun way to decorate for fall and work great as cute little hostess gifts!
I promise you that it’s a very simple project but be prepared to get a little messy! 🙂 All you need is some hard orange {or white} soap and a few sticks. I used some goat milk soap in a green tea and nectarine scent so it smelled pretty good while I was creating these! 1 bar makes roughly 2 pumpkins.
DIY Pumpkin Soap Instructions
- Using a cheese grater, grate up all of the soap. Place the grated soap in a bowl and add a little bit of warm water. Grab a handful the size of the pumpkin you want to make and form a ball. Add water as needed to form and smooth out your ball.
- Once your ball is formed, shape your pumpkin. I flattened mine a bit so it wasn’t so round and placed my thumb in the top to indent it a bit. If there is a lot of foamy soap on your pumpkin, blot it down with a towel.
- Add a stick to the top of the pumpkin.
- Using a knife, carve out the slits in the sides of the pumpkin.
Aren’t they cute?
It’s a super easy project to make your bathroom happy all fall! They also look cute added to a basket with some real mini pumpkins or some rolled towels. And don’t forget to make extras for hostess gifts!

Great idea! My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit “One Creative Weekend” (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
What fun fall soap! They look great and I bet the smell fabulous…nectarine and green tea, two of my faves!
These are so cute! I’m super excited about making these for our teen girls who love anything holiday! Thanks for a great idea 🙂
Cheers, Andrea

Hey from tessacotton! Love your creation. I would be so thrilled if you would link up to my new, halloween themed linky party, live today!
This is awesome! Great idea – where do you find supplies for making soap? Michaels? I think I’ve seen it there but if I recall correctly, I’ve only come across some less than delicious scents lol. Let us in on your secrets, please! 🙂
Those are so cute! Can’t wait to make some!
Just beautiful! We will be featuring these little beauties tomorrow!
Take care,
