You’ll never believe how quick and easy this project is. Bramble Berry’s new lidded mold offers a simple way to make cute soaps and in a hurry (with no packaging required). And for the super cute touch? I embedded the hottest back to school trend: Shaped Rubber Bands. You can get the rubber bands at Bramble Berry.com and pick between the Cats and Dogs, Princess or Sea Creatures.
ONE: Melt 24 ounces of clear melt and pour soap base. Pour a super thin layer (about 1/8″) into the bottom of the lidded mold. Liberally spritz your rubber band with rubbing alcohol and drop it into the melted soap. Let the layer harden and cool and repeat with your other molds and rubber bads.
TWO: Now the fun part. Add the Yuzu Fragrance Oil to the rest of your clear melted soap (you should have about 20 ounces left) and mix well. Then add your colorants. Once the soap has cooled to 125 degrees, pour the second layer. I had fun with mine using the embedding and swirling techniques. TIP: Make sure that you spritz the clear layer of soap before pouring the colored layer.
It’s going to be a crowd pleaser! =)
What an adorable idea! Guess what the neighborhood kids are getting for Christmas this year!
Oh wow this will be a great soap for all my neices and nephews… not to mention my own children…. I love your ideas!
That’s a remarkable image, if for no other reason than that it convinced me without being offensive or insulting that pricing is important.
Love the lidded molds.I think I will probably invest on those for my new soap line.
Simple is often best – especially when it comes to soap! =)
Thanks; the little rubber bands are so cute and make an adorable embed.
Thank you. It’s hard not to see everything in the store as a potential soap object.
Yay – let us know how it turns out and if they have any great new ideas for us to improve on the project.
Great minds think alike … (play Twilight Zone music here …)
Thank you! The rubber bands are hilariously fun for sure.
Ha ha … well, it turns out that I now have what feels like a full warehouse of them right now! =) Your kids sound like hoots, BTW (in a good way!).
Thank you! Please definitely do. =) We’re honored.
This is great! You always come up with such great ideas. I’m going to link up over at the Dollar Store Crafts blog soon!
I’m sorry, I cannot let my kids see this post with these rubber band bracelets. I found one of these bracelets in one of my cupboards just this morning. They are all over my house, taking over. I think they multiply like bunnies at night. I have multiple collections so if you ever run out, let me know and I’ll ship you my entire stash. With pleasure. LOL! OK, so seriously, can’t get enough of the BB creativity. Love it!
Very fun project!
I’m sure it could be done, I just haven’t tried it yet. Keep me posted!
I saw these molds (or whatever they are) yesterday morning – and was going to order them – and you are writing about these cuties here today! How interesting 🙂
Very cool! I like it!
I wonder if you could pour one color inside the rubber band and then another color on the outside… hmmm…
Super cool- a must project with my grand girlies!
that is an AWESOME idea!
I’m so glad to see BB carries these now! I love your project, too!!
So simple, yet so utterly cute and cool!
