Christmas Tree Centerpiece Project – Part One

Make a fun soap centerpiece; it’s easy, creative, smells good and is unique to you and your house(unless of course your friends do Soap Queen projects too!).

To make this project you will need:

6 oz Clear Melt & Pour Base
6 oz White Melt & Pour Base
Emerald Green Labcolor
Christmas Forest Fragrance Oil
Various Stars, cookie cutter size (Wilton makes great stackable cookie cutters)
Flexible Brownie Mold
Wooden skewer

step 1: Melt 6 ounces of the clear soap base add a drop of the Emerald green color and a dropper of the fragrance (or as much as your prefer). Usage rate for fragrances are about .25 ounces of fragrance per 16 ounces of soap. Pour into the brownie tray mold.

step 2: Once the soap fully sets-up, remove from the mold and repeat step one with the white base. Color the white base with Emerald Green Labcolor, fragrance it and allow to set up.

step 3: Cut out various star shapes from the soap slab. (Hint: as you cut out shapes, stack them up to get an idea of how tall your tree will be and which size you need more of. We cut out 3 of each size and had 5 sizes of stars).

step 4: Smooth the edges with your finger to get rid of the little soapy burrs.

In the next post, I’ll show you how to attach the layers together to complete your soap sculpture!
