How much glycerin do you need?
For my spider soap, I use around 0.5 lbs of glycerin to make 15 pieces of soap. Then you need to cut the soap into 1-inch cubes which you will then melt using a microwave-safe spouted measuring cup.
Where to get the spider models?
The spider models are available on amazon. A box of 300 pieces will set you back around $10 which is pretty affordable. Additionally, these models are durable, non-toxic, and do not deform which means they can be re-used a couple of times.
Can we add fragrance to the soap?
Yes, we can add fragrance to the soap. However, note that most fragrances will slightly change the color of your soap. It is advisable to test the color of your fragrance on a sample before adding it to the whole batch.
How do you get the soap out of the mold?
As long as you use this silicone soap mold, you will be able to just pop the soaps right out of the mold once they have set.
What other creepy Halloween models are available?
There are a lot of mini creepy models you can consider for Halloween soap making. They include bats, scorpions, bugs, and creepy eyeballs. Another spooky idea would be to use the glow-in-the-dark mini models for your soap. Pretty spooky, right?
The addition of itty bitty spiders makes this soap super spooky! This DIY soap recipe will surely wow your guests, and maybe even creep them out a bit, before they realize the spiders are fake!

How to Make Mini Spider Soaps for Halloween
Materials
- ½ lb glycerin soap
- Mini spiders
Tools
- 15 Holes Cylinder Silicone Mold
- Large microwave safe spouted measuring cup
- Wooden craft stick for stirring
Instructions
- Cut the soap base into 1-inch cubes. Place into a measuring cup.
- Heat on high for 30-second increments, stirring well after each heating session, until soap is completely melted.
- Pour a small amount of soap into each soap mold and immediately put 2-3 spiders on top, upside down.
- Fill the remainder of each spider-filled mold with soap base.
- Allow soap bars to set for about 30-60 minutes, and remove from the mold.
Notes
When placing the mini spider, place them in an upside-down position.
Ensure the spider models settle at the bottom of the mold. In case the spiders float, use a toothpick or a needle to push them back to the bottom.
