This is a fun technique that gives you a surprise whichever way you cut your soap. Using squirt bottles I create a cross-hatch pattern in tones of pink and teal. Although this technique is easy it does take some time and careful attention to your trace. To make a successful Cotton Candy soap be patient and keep your trace very, very light.

What a cool technique! Thanks for sharing this tutorial. The horizontal cut looks really cool. And I’m glad to see that the recipe is palm-free! I’ve been moving away from palm oil lately and am always on the lookout for palm-free soap recipes. 🙂

Anne-Marie, your hair looks awesome in this video! I’m not sure if I have the patience to wash out the all those bottles but maybe one day I’ll give this technique a try. Thanks for another terrific video!

Hi Evie!
Thanks for the kind message, I will pass it along to Anne-Marie! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! If you don’t want to wash as many bottles, you could simplify the technique and use less colors 🙂

Do you have to spray it with alcohol before you sprinkle glitter on it?
Hi Nadine!
If you’d like to give your soap a spritz with alcohol, you certainly could, although it is not completely necessary 🙂

Beautiful. It appears every other bar would have the polkadots on top
Yes, If you do the horizontal cut then half of the bars will have polka dots on the back.
The texture looks really neat! Did the fragrance oil cause some discoloration? It just seems like it should be brighter with the colorants used.
Hi Amy, No the fragrance didn’t discolor the soap at all. If you want brighter colors you could use a little more colorant. We were going for a pastel ombre effect here.
