Goodness, my kids got so excited when they saw these homemade jelly soaps shaped like the Millennium Falcon! This is some serious Star Wars fun.

With six kids in the house I have seven die-hard Star Wars fans who are super excited and already have tickets for the upcoming Han Solo movie opening Friday. I’m not one of the movie goers, but I will see it eventually since it will play endlessly at my house for days once it is available for purchase on devices.

We’ve already kicked off the Han Solo fun with these super cool Han Solo in Carbonite hard lotion bug repellent bars. Now we are moving on to soaps! Millennium Falcon soaps to be exact.

These particular jelly soaps are shaped like the Millennium Falcon ship, and we also have some jelly soap shaped like Darth Vader and some jelly soap shaped like Storm Troopers. All of these soaps are super popular with kids and look amazing!

The soaps end up being clear if you use the clear body wash from Trader Joe’s in the recipe. We added a little bit of glitter for some sparkly soap fun and maybe a tiny bit of exfoliating value. But mostly for sparkle. If you don’t like the sparkle it’s totally optional!

Set the Millennium Falcon jelly soaps out in the bathroom at your Han Solo birthday party, give them as party favors for your guests, use them in your Star Wars decorated bathroom, give them as gifts to those Star Wars fans in your life who have everything. The possibilities are endless!

The key here is in the molds you purchase. You can literally make jelly soap in any shape mold you can buy, but we do prefer these Star Wars molds. If your child is into something else – pick something else!

Here are the ingredients you need.

• 1 cup body wash (We got ours at Trader Joe’s, which is almost clear) or Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap (the Castile soap will make your soaps a bit cloudy. For a clear soap, use the body wash.)
• 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin <– We use Wincrest, which is used in special effects makeup. It makes the soaps a bit more solid and durable. You can also use unflavored gelatin from the grocery store.
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid vegetable glycerin
• 5-10 drops lavender essential oil <– our favorite is this Lavender from Greece.
• Gel coloring
• Silver glitter
• Star Wars Molds

To make your Millennium Falcon jelly soaps, gather your ingredients and supplies. In a medium bowl, add gelatin. Add hot water. Stir to dissolve gel. Place bowl in microwave for 25 seconds to make sure all gel is dissolved.

Add body wash and glycerin. Add lavender essential oil. Add gel food coloring. Add glitter. Glitter is heavier than the body wash, so it will settle to the bottom, which will be the top of the mold. The more glitter you add, the more it will be on the top of the mold. Give everything a good stir until well combined.

Pour mixture into Star Wars mold and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until firm. Sprinkle a bit of glitter on top of mold. Store in an air tight container in the fridge until ready to use. If you don’t keep in the fridge, it may turn mushy.

Instagram post 2170540124801438298_583360598 So this just happened! As we made the last major turn to get to our #homeschool co-op, my back tire did not make the turn without hitting the curb and what felt like something metal. My tire is completely flat and on its rim. Fortunately a sweet friend from co-op came and got my kids, and roadside assistance is on their way to jack up my van and get the spare on. Fortunately this is not one of the tires we just replaced — AND — this one is under warranty. #momlife #thankful #weareallok #nobodygothurt #momsofinstagram #woah #flat
Instagram post 2169879110326070687_583360598 Circumstances, sin and the brokenness of this world will leave life less than perfect. But when we chase a perfect God, read His perfect Word, and follow His perfect way, we will find His perfect peace. ... Girls—we can have perfect peace without a perfect life!

Instagram post 2169022457087059083_583360598 Couldn’t resist an extra post this morning! This is so true!!! In fact my German car fell back in time two weeks ago. I’m not even going to touch it. Nope. Don’t even go there. #fallback #joyofmom #momlife #momcar
Instagram post 2168440362367304136_583360598 What a beautiful reminder that Gods got this! He has the whole world in his hands. He already knows the whole story! The victory is already won. .
Hang in there mama. God chooses the rulers and authorities. God rules all of creation. God carried the weight of the world on his shoulders so that we don’t have to try. .
Trust in this - the God of the universe who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. . 
He will carry it. The author of our faith.  Not you. Him. .
God’s got this. .

Instagram post 2166966740079591220_583360598 I love it that this boy actually asked me for a hike. It didn’t end up being a long hike. But we got in the woods, we stomped around and explored the river bank. We went uphill and searched out treasures in the woods. It was a good hike. And when we got back in the car even the sixteen year old said, “Mom, I’m glad we came.” #getoutside #playoutside #godcreated #naturespeaks #homeschoolmom #homeschool #momlife #hikersofinstagram #instahike #kidswhohike #hikewithkids
Instagram post 2166239162007849393_583360598 Who needs to just take a deep breath, and rest in the promise that God isn’t finished revealing your story yet? 
This is just a chapter! New seasons are coming, and whatever difficulty you are experiencing in this very moment, this too shall pass. 
So keep your chin up mama! His mercies are made new every morning. Rest in that mercy. 
I’m so thankful for what God has done in my life, but I’m also incredibly grateful he’s not finished with me yet! .

Instagram post 2165617683159458994_583360598 #sponsored It breaks my heart that we have so many hungry children in the United States - the land of plenty. Food insecurity is a real issue in this country and I want to make a difference. This week I learned that compassion is an action verb. Its not the feeling of empathy -- compassion is the act of helping. It's time to take action and fight hunger. That's why I am pleased to partner with @FoodLion to raise hunger awareness through #FoodLionFeeds and the #NoEmptyPlate challenge. You can help!

Instagram post 2164810844435915869_583360598 You are not alone.  You are busy, you are struggling with your kids attitudes, laundry piles, meal creation, dust bunnies, more laundry piles and a thousand other things begging for your attention. You are needed 24/7 and you are tired mentally, emotionally and physically. You are a mom - and you are not alone. Be encouraged mama. You got this! You can do it! .
How can I pray for you today??? .

Instagram post 2164389082514591713_583360598 We are finally getting Fall colors! I was beginning to despair it would not happen this year. I’m so grateful for the sights and sounds of Autumn. We listened to rain all night soothing us in sleep and woke up to this splendor - seems like the leaves changed overnight.  #rainfall
