Today we make the nest. If you still need to make your Play Dough Soap Eggs for this Easter project, see yesterday’s post here. This recipe was originally created by Debbie of SoapyLove for the frosting on her soap cupcakes. Let’s get started!
Making the Nest Ingredients
Colorant of  your choice (pictured are Liquid Green, Liquid Orange and Liquid Brown)
Play dough machine with a spaghetti attachment
Electric or Hand Mixer

ONE: In your mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of clear soap base, 2 tbsp of natural Castile liquid soap base and your colorant of choice. Mix on high until the mixture has fluffy peaks and it looks like frosting. Ooh and ahh over how great the fluffy peaks look, then mix a little bit more until it looks grainy and less appealing. The picture to the right is a perfect consistency to work with.

TWO: Press the mixture into your play dough spaghetti maker and pull the lever down to make the “spaghetti strings” come out the other side. Let your strings sit in the open air for about 30-45 minutes; they will be easier to work with if they can cool and dry.

THREE: Melt 4 ounces of clear soap base and (if neccessary) cool to about 130°F. In one cavity of your cupcake mold, pour 1/4″ of clear soap and layer in a handful of your spaghetti soap. Fill up the mold about half way and press down the middle with your fingers to make room for the eggs. If necessary, drizzle some soap around the edges to ensure all of the pieces stick together.

FOUR: Pour another thin layer of clear soap in the middle of your nest and place 3 eggs into the soap. Repeat this process for all 6 cavities.

FIVE: Let the soaps cool, pop them out of the mold and smooth the edges with your finger.

Make them in all colors of the rainbow. We tried a lot of color combos and they all looked cute!
