Here’s another fun project perfect for the holidays on Soap Queen TV!
In this episode I share how to make Orange Slices, which you may remember from this series of blog posts I did in 2008. Using our Orange Spice Fragrance Oil, this project has been transformed into a wonderful Holiday treat.

Ingredients:

Other tools you’ll need:

Note: The Orange Mica has since been discontinued at Bramble Berry, but you can use the brand new Perfect Orange Color Block to get a similar color! Try it and other color blocks out here.
Have a question about this blog post? Come join us atย Bramble Berry’s Facebook pageย and we can help you out with any of your soapy questions!
What’s a good alternative to the orange mica colorant? It’s not available on brambleberry.com. I’m considering tangerine wow.
Thanks for the tutorial it’s great!
Hi Jami!
We no longer carry the Orange Mica, but you can substitute the wonderful Tangerine Wow! for it.

If the Tangerine Wow! is too bright for you, you can use a little bit of Brick Red Oxide or Brown Oxide Pigment to darken it a bit.

I hope this helps! ๐

Amazing! Soap making so intrigues me! I wish I was closer to take a class!

They do add a nice rustic packaging look, don’t they? It’s a surprisingly simple packaging option.
All of the episodes are also on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/user/so… and you might have better luck with YouTube instead of the Vimeo server? Keep me posted if that doesn’t work for you. =)))
I love these orange slice soaps, but I have a question. When I play my
Soap Queen Videos the sound & picture keep breaking up. I’ve been trying
to Join Vimeo – I think it went through?? Is there anything else I should be
doing? It takes forever to watch a short video & it’s driving me crazy!!
Thanks, Joanne
the bags and anis really look incredibly!

Funny! It’s always my least favorite part (go figure). Then again, I don’t think anyone likes to see themselves on camera!
Thanks Debbie. That is high praise coming from you. =) I love the way the white soap looks as it’s spreading between the pieces. =)
A new video… =) Excited that you’re excited!
Yay!! A new video…I’m all over it. ๐ Thank you, A-M!
What a great project! I love all of the steps and fun techniques. Plus the burlap bag design is so smart and attractive!
Looks like a fun project. ๐
And I always enjoy watching the outtakes. ๐
