Hello internet! enDIYvor here to test out a Pinterest DIY!

Today I’m testing out a pin I’ve seen making rounds lately: DIY Shower Jellies!

If you are familiar with Lush, you may be aware of these and be familiar with what they are. But for those of you who have no idea what a shower jelly is, let me inform you. Shower jellies are a gelatinous form of soap, whether it be shower gel or shampoo. Think of a little lump of Jell-O that you keep in your shower to use in place of a bar of soap. They’re super fun to use and even more fun to play with!

The instructions for these DIY Shower Jellies seem pretty simple and straightforward. All you supposedly need is water, shower gel (or shampoo, if you’d like) and unflavored gelatin. Glitter is optional.

Alright, let’s get this DIY rolling!

Here are the things I’ll be using for this DIY.

PLEASE DO NOT USE CRAFT GLITTER FOR THIS PROJECT!!! Craft glitter is basically little shards of cut up plastic that can cause microtears in your skin and is bad for waterways.

Alright, now on to getting this thing started. Let’s jump over to the stove!

There was also a weird burning smell as I added the gelatin. Is that supposed to happen? I dunno, but I suppose we’ll find out if it affects the end result or not.

The next step is to refrigerate for…2-3 hours!? Ugh.

Anyone who knows me would tell you that I can be a tad impatient. I want my Shower Jellies and I want them NOW!

To pass the time, I painted my nails, gave King a bath, watched some YouTube videos, downloaded an audiobook, ate a few (or 20) mini elcairs and contemplated my life choices. Finally, after eons of waiting and waiting and waiting, my iPhone timer went off. Let’s see how these things turned out!

And there you have it! I would consider this DIY a success and it was just about as simple and easy as the tutorial suggested. They were more fragile than I expected, but I believe the Lush Shower Jellies are about as fragile. I may make another batch of these with an extra half or whole packet of gelatin and see if that helps. Then again, that could mean it’ll be less sudsy and effective as a Shower Jelly as well.

That concludes the testing of this DIY! But don’t just take my word for it, you can find a tutorial for this project here and here.
