Microsoft Soap – Set Up

Filed Under: Bath & Body Tutorials, Melt & Pour Soap

To make the Microsoft Small Business Summit soap (or any soap using Water Soluble Paper), you will need the following:


White Melt and Pour Soap
Clear Melt and Pour Soap
Fragrance (non-yellowing)
Water Soluble Paper
Optional: Dropper & Glitter


Knife (to cut the soap)
Spritzer Bottle filled with Rubbing Alcohol
Pyrex (or heat safe container)
Spoon
Soap Mold (I like Milky Way Molds)

Water Soluble Paper is a super soluble paper that can be printed on with an inkjet printer or written on.

Step One: Design & Print your Project

Since Water Soluble Paper is $.60 per sheet, try to fit as many logos, photos or wording onto a full sheet of paper. Print a full sheet using an ink jet printer. With a fine mister of hairspray, finely mist the entire sheet. The hairspray helps to keep the color from bleeding once the paper is embedded in the soap.


Step Two: Test

Cut the logo, the photo or the wording out of the paper. Test to make sure the object easily fits inside of your chosen mold.

  1. I have moved to the UK and I cant find water soluble paper anywhere!?! 🙁
    can I use rice paper/wafer paper?

  2. Rita, the MP *will* glue on and sandwich to the CP so the only question at this point is if the CP soap will cause the paper to dissolve or bleed. It’s a fun idea though. =)

  3. Oh No on the Bleeding! I hope mine don’t! I didn’t even think about that. I just spritzed with the hair spray and gave it a second to dry then put them on. I’ll be watching them. Hopefuly they won’t bleed at all, but if they do, wait until after the 3rd!

  4. Actually, I was thinking of M&P on top of the CP, as a cover for the paper, but since the water in CP would make it wet to pour on top of the paper, dunno. I also wondered about pasting a bit of M&P on top of a CP bar to hold the label in place and dipping CP top into clear M&P. I wonder if a sandwich of 2 clear with the CP would work and hold together?
    Just thinking out loud.

    Sorry I missed the demo on line.

  5. Rita –

    You probably *could* use the water soluble paper in CP but you wouldn’t be able to see it because it’s not a clear medium.

    A-M

  6. Anne-Marie, is there any way for the water soluble paper to work in CP because of all the water? Inquiring minds want to know.

  8. I also want to say thanks! for the tutorial because I can’t quite figure out how to get the Summit’s live video of you demonstrating this. :}

  9. Hey Anne-Marie, thanks for the perfect tutorial. I’ve also had this paper for a bit, but haven’t played with it. This project would be the perfect addition to the presentation I’m making to a B&B to do their amenities. Logo, WS Paper, M&P, Go!

  10. Thank you for this tutorial – but I’m hoping you weren’t working on this Easter holiday! I bought this paper awhile ago, but have been too nervous to use it, now I think I can give it a shot! Hope your cute soaps are rec’d well! I like ’em! Happy Easter!
