These adorable soaps are super easy – they would be perfect for a gift or to sell at a craft fair! All you need to know is how to layer glycerin soap. {Just spray with alcohol between layers and make sure your soap is no hotter than 120 degrees when you pour it onto a hardened layer. There! Now you know!} 🙂
Supplies:
1 lb. Soapylove Naturally Clear Soap base (Or Clear M&P Base)
Soapylove Scalloped Round or Hearts Mold
Plastic drinking straws
Dropper
Mug of hot water
To create the polka dots, melt 1 oz of clear soap base and color with pink colorant. Use pipette to place drops of soap in the mold and immediately rinse pipette with hot water.
To create “button holes”, pour a thin layer of soap into mold (I used clear soap colored with the white colorant), then place straws vertically into soap, ends standing on face of mold, and hold them steady until soap sets.
Proceed with layering in any color combination you like. All of the Sweet Treats Colorants are non-bleeding!
Once your soaps are hardened, unmold as usual (the straws make nice handles for pulling soaps out!). Then pull straws out from the back side. You can use a chopstick to clean or perfect the button holes if needed.
The holes are really cute as a little detail, plus they make it easy to stack into gift bundles. Just thread a ribbon through all holes and tie. Voila!
