Made A Custom Bar Of Soap
February 04, 2011 Filed in: Crafts
This was kind of a cool little project. They sell soap kits at Michaels. We decided to pick one up and try it out. Here’s what comes inside the box:
- -white soap
- -clear soap
- -three colors of dye
- -cucumber melon fragrance
- -molds
I decided to make a four layer soap (two greens alternating). I cut off some of the clear soap from its block and cut it into cubes.
I threw it in the microwave and nuked it. I melted it down and it overflowed! I had to clean up the microwave after that. I added dye to what was left. I put in one drop of yellow and one of blue and stirred that up.
I poured the first layer into the circular mold.
I waited five minutes for that layer to set. I poured the second layer with the white soap mixed with blue and yellow dye.
Another five minutes later, I reheated and re-poured the clear mixture.
Unfortunately, I reheated the clear soap too hot when I poured, and it started to mess up the previous layer.
I reheated and poured the final layer on top and let that cool overnight.
After the final pour:
The next morning, it looked like this:
This was a fun project, and it came out looking pretty awesome.
