2009 Christmas Kits: Candles

November 25, 2009 Filed Under: Home Crafts

Have you heard about our 2009 Christmas Kits? They’re this years simple solution for making coordinated gift ensembles! Choose from two different fragrance combinations (sweet or spice) to make candles, lotions and salt scrubs for your friends, family and co-workers. If you missed the blog yesterday, I posted a salt scrub recipe that you can make with this kit! Check it out.

Here’s how to make your easy candles…

In a double boiler, melt 16 oz of White Beeswax. Once fully melted, turn off the burner, add 1 ounce of Fragrance Oil and mix well. Then, carefully fill each candle tin with wax (we suggest slowly pouring from your pot or using a ladle). Once you’ve filled your candle tins, place a candle wick in the center of each tin. Let the candles cool for 4-6 hours. Then trim the wicks to ½ inch, apply the neatly labeled lid, and present your creation to a worthy recipient!

Variation: If you want your candles to be a color other than ivory white, check out all of the candle colorants here. Get one of those colors plus the kit and you’ve got yourself a variation. Or, pick up an ounce of a great blender to give yourself even more options for the perfect stocking stuffer. What blends with Clementine Cupcake or Chipotle Caramel? Dark Rich Chocolate, T urkish Mocha, Arabian Spice, Blackberry Spice, Christmas Spice, Orange Spice, Orange Mocha or Pumpkin Spice are all great blenders! And Mandarin Myrrh & Wassail can both easily blend with Berry Wine, Chocolate Espresso, Dark Rich Chocolate, Rise ‘n’ Shine, Amber, Black Tea or Black Amber & Lavender.

Tip: If you’re having problems with leaning wicks, dip the base of the wick in the melted wax and center on the bottom of the tin. Then place 2 pencils horizontally on the tin, on each side of the wick. This will give the wick a little support as you pour the wax and the candle cools. For more helpful candle making tips, check out Soap Queen TV’s episode on Holiday Travel Candles.

Soapylove Tutorial: Lucky Star Soaps

November 13, 2009 Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

If you love bright colors and plastic jewelry (or did when you were a kid, like me!), then this soap project is for you!A sweet little heart is floating inside the new Soapylove stacked star.It’s simple and fun, and I bet Martha Quinn* would love them!

Makes 4 stars, instructions are for the yellow style.

Supplies:

1 lb Naturally Clearsoap base

Non-bleeding liquid red colorant

Sunshine Yellow from the Jewelry Box Colorant Set

Cherry Pop fragrance oil from the Candy Jar Fragrance Set

Stacked Star Mold

Small heart polymer or fondant cutter

Small plastic storage container or lid, approximately 6″x6″ or smaller

Knife, cutting board, bottle of rubbing alcohol, Pyrex measuring cup

Instructions:

Melt 3 oz of clear soap, color darkly with liquid red colorant. Pour into plastic storage container (or into the lid, like I did), to 1/8″-1/4″ thickness. Allow to harden and unmold.

Cut red soap sheet with heart cutter.

TIP: to prevent your cutter from splitting at the seam, wrap the seam in tape before using.

Melt 12 oz of clear soap and stir in a few drops of Sunshine Yellow colorant and Cherry Pop fragrance oil. Fill mold to second star, spray with alcohol to pop any bubbles, and allow to harden.

Remelt remaining soap if a skin has formed but make sure it’s not above 120 degrees (or too hot to touch with your bare fingertip). Spray hardened yellow soap with alcohol, then pour a thin layer of soap into the mold.

Quickly spray a red heart with alcohol and put into the hot soap. Spray again with alcohol and top off mold. Repeat for remaining cavities.

Allow to harden overnight at room temperature. Pull away sides of mold to create an air pocket, then invert and push on back until soap pops out.

For pink and purple variation, I used Sparkle Dust from the Jewelry Box Colorant Setand non-bleeding purple colorant for the hearts and stars, then Fiery Fuchsia colorant with Pink Strawberry Fragrance Oil for the soap bar. You can create another layer of soap plus an embed to add more dimension to your design, too!

*Do you remember Martha Quinn? She was a “VJ” on MTV. The good ol’ days! 😉

Have fun!

Soap Queen TV: Holiday Candle Travel Tins

November 5, 2009 Filed Under: Home Crafts

Grab some hot cocoa, get comfortable and prepare yourself for some candle making fun! In the final episode of my Holiday Series I show you how to make cute little travel candles perfect for the gift giving season.

When filming this episode I tried to include as much helpful information as possible, which resulted in a nearly 13 minute long video (hence the get comfy recommendation). I demonstrate how to use our liquid candle dyes and wax dye blocks as well as show many common candle problems and how to fix them. Although I mention it in the video, I really want to emphasize how important it is to use heat safe containers both for your mixing container and for the final candle container. I love keeping a few of these travel candles on hand for last minute hostess gifts or ‘just because’ gifts to give through out the Holidays.

Download the free PDF label template here to print out and make labels just like the ones in the video.

A big thank you to Jennifer Perkins, host of Craft Lab on the DIY Network & HGTV, for using and reviewing the SoapyLove Line of products from Bramble Berry.

She said:“Who wants clear or white soap when you could have Ruby Red, Fiery Fuchsia, Turquoise Blue or Sunshine Yellow – the options in the Soapy Love Jewelry Box Colorant Set. You know I loved that name and the cute little medicine dropper packaging. Then there was that amazing smell, I wanted to sit and huff the box that everything came in. You can choose between Delectable Desserts or Candy Jar Fragrance Sets.”

Pumpkin Puree Cold Process Soap

October 29, 2009 Filed Under: Cold Process Soap

Fun Fall Cold Process Soap

Treat (don’t trick) your skin this chilly fall season with a handmade, moisturizing and delicious smelling soap with real pumpkin puree. Pumpkin is full of antioxidants and vitamins A and C which can help keep your skin youthful and refreshed!

Ingredients
16 oz. Coconut Oil
16 oz. Palm Oil
16 oz. Olive Oil
2 oz. Castor Oil
15 oz. water
7.4 oz. lye
3 oz. pumpkin puree
3 oz. Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil
Titanium Dioxide
Copper Sparkle Mica

Tools

Freezer Paper
Mixing Spoons
Ladle or glass mug
3 large glass, plastic or stainless steal mixing bowls
(never use aluminum or a reactive material when mixing cold process soap)

Molds
2 Pound Wood Mold
Clear Plastic Loaf Mold
Or…
You can use a 5 pound wooden mold

Preparation: Make sure you have all of your ingredients with in reach (I even double checked our recipe on the iPhone Lye Application). Then line your mold with Freezer Paper (click here for instructions on lining your soap mold). Most importantly review lye safety guidelines.

Lye Safety Tips:

Always wear gloves & goggles (glasses are not enough, goggles)
Measure out distilled water & slowly pour and stir lye into water
Do not breathe in lye fumes; work in a well ventilated room
Keep small children and animals out and away from your soapmaking
Protect your workspace with newspaper or cardboard
Lye corrodes metal so remove jewelry before making soap
Lye in the eyes = trip to emergency room
Lye on your skin = flush with water (some soapmaker’s swear by vinegar instead of water).
Soap utensils are for soap. Food utensils are for food. Never the twain should meet.
Soap needs to cure, undisturbed, from either pets or small children
Soap molds need to be either lined with wax paper or be made from a flexible plastic.
Never make soap in a glass or aluminum mold.

ONE: Weigh and combine your Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil and Caster Oil. Make sure all of the oils are in liquid form so you might need to melt the coconut and palm oil in the microwave or on the stove.

TWO: To make your lye solution, add 7.4 ounces of lye to 15 ounces of distilled water (you can increase the water to 16.5 if you like a slower trace). Remember to always add the lye to the water- never add the water to the lye. Mix the lye water until the cloudiness clears and the temperature cools. The ideal temperature is between 125 and 135 degrees though some soapers soap all the way down to room temperature lye. I like 125 personally. Notice the water heats all the way up to 191 degrees when combined with the water and lye. Gloves and goggles stay on for the ENTIRE soapmaking process.THREE:Once your oils are combined and their temperature stabilized under 135 degrees and your lye water has reached 125-135 degrees, slowly pour the lye water into your oils stirring at all times. Then stick blend the oil and lye mixture (approximately 2-3 minutes). Turn the stick blender on and off, making sure to mix the entire mixture thoroughly (up down, side to side, around and around).FOUR: Once your mixture has reached light *trace, stick blend in 3 oz of pumpkin puree. Then separate the mixture into two different containers- 2/3 in one bowl and 1/3 in the other.*Trace looks like thin pudding where faint trailings of soap stay on the surface of your soap mixture when lightly drizzled from a few inches overhead.FIVE: Add up to a full Tablespoon of titanium dioxide to the container with 1/3 of the soap and mix with your stick blender. This will keep make a lovely light contrast color.

SIX: To the second container, add 1 Tablespoon of Copper Sparkle mica and use a stick blender to mix well. This will make a beautifully dark and rich pumpkin color.

SEVEN: Once the Copper Sparkle mica is fully incorporated, stir in 3 oz of Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil by hand. This fragrance slightly accelerates trace so be ready to pour once your fragrance is mixed in.

EIGHT: In your mold, pour in 6 ounces of the light colored soap followed by approximately 10 ounces of the darker colored soap. The pours do not have to be exactly 6 or 10 ounces – just eyeball it. Make sure you pour two layers of each soap base, alternating colors. Once your mold is filled to the top, swirl the soap with a spoon, spatula or chopstick. Repeat this step using the clear plastic mold. Your gloves and goggles stay on for the entire soapmaking process, even during the swirling part.

TIP: If you’re using a 5 pound mold, just alternate colors until you’ve filled the mold. Then swirl with a spoon. We made this recipe big so we could have fun and play with 2 different molds.

When you make this fun fall recipe, pop in and tell us how it goes! We love the final soap and hope you do too!

Soapylove Tutorial: Fluffy Frosted Soapy …

October 24, 2009 Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

I’ve always wanted to make soap cupcakes but stopped at the frosting. Due to my own laziness, I didn’t want to use many special ingredients, and I find pastry bags totally intimidating! So I decided to do a little experimenting and have come up with an extremely simple and fun recipe that requires 2 ingredients and no fancy frosting tips. I hope you’ll give it a try!

Supplies:

1 lb Naturally Clear melt and pour soap

Sweet Treats colorant set

Delectable Desserts fragrance oil set

Liquid soap base

Soapylove round scallo p mold

Whisk or hand mixer

Directions: 1. Cut up soap base and reserve 4 oz for frosting. Melt the rest of the soap and color any way you like. I used Buttercream Yellow for the vanilla cupcakes, and Bakery Beige for the chocolate ones. Experiment with a few drops of White Icing color to lighten the shade if you like. Choose any of the yummy scents for your soaps.

2. Fill each mold and allow to harden. Unmold.

3. To make the frosting, melt the 4 oz of clear soap base in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of liquid soap, a few drops of pink colorant, and any fragrance oil you like . Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat mixture until it forms soft peaks. Add 1 teaspoon of the Rainbow Sprinkles from the Sweet Treats kit. Mix until incorporated.

4. Spoon frosting onto soaps (turn soaps upside down so you’re frosting the backs), piling up as much as possible. Allow to air dry. It’s totally touchable and won’t crack! The frosting has a range of textures that you can achieve, from very soft peaks to dry, stiff peaks. It’s kind of like shaving cream. If you have added frosting to your soaps and you don’t like it, you can scrape it off, put it back in your bowl, and warm it up in the microwave again for 15 seconds. Mix again until you get a good texture. Try again and again – the frosting keeps re-fluffing! Sprinkle on extra sprinkles for added cuteness! Have fun! -Debbie, Soapylove

Marvelous Soap Marbles

October 15, 2009 Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

These marbled soaps make the perfect gift or favor for any occasion. And if they’re not cute enough as is, you can fit 5 of these little guys into one of our new soap boxes. The best thing about this soap project is that you can pick any color combination for customization that fits your occasion. This project may look tricky but anyone can do it – even beginners!

Ingredients

White Soap Base (12 oz)
Fiery Fuchsia (Soapylove’s Jewelry Box)
White Tea and Ginger Fragrance Oil
Injector tool (PJ’s Tool Kit)
Soap Sphere Mold
Droppers
Swirling tool (toothpick or spoon will work)
3 rubber bands
Hot Water
Spritz bottle of rubbing alcoholThis tutorial demonstrates the swirling technique. You can see the same concept of this technique on Soap Queen TV. Check out the video here for some helpful tips and tricks on swirling if you haven’t seen it already.

Aligning your sphere mold: Super important tip –When you take your mold out of the package, make sure to mark each end (top and bottom) with a permanent marker so you will always know how to line it up. The mold is lined up correctly when it comes out of the package. If they are aligned incorrectly you will have wonky spheres.

ONE: Have all of your tools ready to use including a cup of hot water. We’ll be using the hot water to clean the injector tool when switching soap colors.

TWO: Melt 12 ounces of white soap base and separate evenly into 2 containers. I used clear, heat safe glass mugs from a thrift store. They worked perfectly for this project.

THREE: Add 1 ml of fragrance oil to each batch and mix well. I used the delicious and popular White Tea and Ginger but you can use any fragrance oil that you want. A non-yellowing fragrance oil would be preferable; we want our white soap to stay strikingly white!

FOUR: Add 6 drops of the Fiery Fuchsia to one of your containers of white soap. Mix well. The other container of soap will remain white.

FOUR: Using your injector tool, drop a pea sized drop of PINK soap into each cavity of the bottom half of the mold. Have your alcohol spray bottle handy and spritz any air bubbles that surface. Immediately clean the injector tool in hot water.

FIVE: Use the clean injector tool to drop a pea sized drop of WHITE soap on top of the pink soap. Then swirl the soap together using any object you can find (toothpick, small fork, pick, spoon, etc.).

SIX: Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the bottom half of your mold is filled. Then let soap cool for 10-15 minutes. Remember to clean you injector tool when you’re done with each color. It’s not much fun to clean if the soap has hardened.

SEVEN: Once the soap has cooled, spritz the soap with rubbing alcohol to ensure the layers stick, and place the other half of the mold on top (remember to line up the mold using your two dots from step one). Then secure the mold using 3 rubber bands. Trust me – the rubber bands will make life much easier when filling up the rest of your mold.

EIGHT: Reheat your pink and white soap in the microwave and refresh your hot water for round two. It’s time to fill up the rest of our spheres.

NINE: Use your clean injector tool and fill up each top cavity with white soap about half way. The nozzle of the injector tool fits perfectly into the hole of the mold. Immediately clean your injector tool. Then fill up the mold the rest of the way with the pink soap. OR alternate pink and white soaps until the sphere cavity is completely full. Let loose and have fun with it!

Hint: Because this mold was created for ice cubes, you might see a sphere filling up with soap other than the sphere you are currently filling. Just keep plugging away. The great thing about this project is that is doesn’t have to be perfect. The uneven colors are what make these marbled soaps POP!
TEN: Once your soaps have cooled (about 4-6 hours). Pop them out of the molds. Yes, there is a little clean up required. Just scrape off the edging with your fingernail and smooth the soap with your finger. I haven’t figured out how to get rid of the bubbles on the bottom of the soap so let me know if you have any suggestions. I just smoothed them out with my fingers and they looked great!

Tip: If you have trouble popping the soaps out, put them the mold in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. They should pop right out after that!

Variations…ONE: I used liquid black with sparkle gold mica in clear soap marbled with fiery fuchsia in white soap.TWO: The brighter pink color was Fiery Fuchsia in clear soap marbled with plain white soap.If you do this project with any cool and fun colors, let me know. I want to hear about all of your soapy successes!

Soapylove Tutorial: Delicious Layered Soap Cookies!

October 10, 2009 Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

We’ve been working behind the scenes together for quite some time now on the new Soapylove supply line getting all of the colors, fragrances, molds, and soap bases just right before we were totally happy and ready to put the Soapylove and Bramble Berry seals of approval on them. Now that they’re out, expect some fun tutorials and projects on how to use this fun line of products.

To introduce you to some of our favorites (but it’s hard to pick your favorite when they’re all your babies!), I have put together this easy and super adorable project. The scalloped rectangle mold is used to look like yummy old fashioned cookies and can be made in two “flavors”: vanilla/strawberry, and chocolate/vanilla!

Supplies:
Sweet Treats Colorant Set
Delectable Desserts Fragrance Oil Set
1 lb. Naturally Clear Soap Base, cut into small cubes
1 lb. Bright White Soap Base, cut into small cubes
Scalloped Rectangle Mold
Rubbing alcohol in spray bottle
Cutting board and knife

For the strawberry/vanilla combo, for each soap you are making, melt 3 ounces of clear soap base (20 seconds on high in microwave). Stir in a few drops of Buttercream Yellow colorant. Then add a few drops of Vanilla Frosting fragrance oil and a few drops of Vanilla Stabilizer.

Pour in a layer of this soap, just to 1/4″ thickness. Allow to harden at room temperature.

Now melt 3 more ounces of clear soap base and color with a few drops of Pink Frosting colorant. If you would like a softer shade, you can stir in a drop or two of the White Icing colorant. Now add a few drops each of Strawberry Jam and Vanilla Stabilizer.

Check soap temperature to make sure it is no hotter than 120 degrees. Now spray your Vanilla layer in the mold with alcohol and pour in the Strawberry soap until 1/4″ from the top of the mold. Allow to harden completely.

Briefly reheat the Vanilla soap for 10 seconds or so in the microwave. Check the temperature again, spray the Strawberry layer, and top off the mold with soap. Allow to harden.

Gently pull sides of mold away from the hardened soap, invert and unmold. Voila!

For the Chocolate version, use clear soap base with Bakery Beige for the “cookies”, then white soap base or clear base colored with White Icing colorant for the center. I recommend the Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Frosting fragrance oils.

Make sure to check back here at The Soap Queen often because I’ll be back with lots of great projects featuring the new Soapylove supplies! See you then! — Debbie

Flexy Fast Fall Pumpkins

October 1, 2009 Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

Ingredients
Flexy Fast Molding Putty
Clear Melt and Pour Soap
Sunshine Yellow (from Soapylove’s Jewelry Box)
Fiery Fuchsia (from Soapylove’s Jewelry Box)
Sparkle Dust (from Soapylove’s Jewelry Box)
Liquid Non-Bleeding Green
Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil
Butter Cream and Snickerdoodle Fragrance Oil
Vanilla Color Stabilizer
Droppers
A Perfectly Small Pumpkin (mine was 5.7 ounces)
Microwave safe container
Stir spoon
Vinyl Gloves

ONE: The first step to this project is making a pumpkin mold out of the Flexy Fast Molding Putty. Never used Flexy Fast Before? Check out Soap Queen TV to see a full tutorial.

Mixing your Flexy Fast: Flexy Fast comes as 2 parts, Part A and Part B. The usage rate is 1:6 (B:A) by weight or 1:20 (B:A) by volume OR mix a golf ball size of the white stuff to a marble size of the pink stuff. With vinyl gloves on, knead the two components together until fully incorporated. You’re done when you have a nice bubblegum color with no pink streaks, which will take about 1 minute.

Molding your Pumpkin: Carefully form the putty around your pumpkin. Really press the putty into the pumpkin to ensure that you get all of the realistic details and to release any air bubbles. Make sure there are no holes in the putty that the soap could potentially leak through. More thick is better than thin on this project so don’t be shy about forming a thick mold.

TWO: The soap, color and fragrance quantities may slightly vary depending on the size of your pumpkin (my pumpkin was 5.7 ounces). For the stem, melt about ½ ounce of clear melt and pour and add a smidgen of Liquid Green (not even a whole drop). Mix well. Use a dropper to fill the stem part of your mold with green soap and spritz with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any bubbles.

THREE: Melt about 6 ounces of clear soap and add your favorite fall fragrance. I used ½ ml of Pumpkin Spice, ½ ml of Butter Cream and Snickerdoodle and 1 ml Vanilla Stabilizer to keep my orange color bright and vibrant. It smells like pumpkin pie!

Variation Fragrance: ½ ml Pumpkin Pie Cybilla, ½ ml Cream Cheese Frosting and 1 ml Vanilla Stabilizer. Delicious!

FOUR: Now that our soap has been scented, add 20 drops of the Sunshine Yellow and 1/2 drop of the Fiery Fuchsia from Soapylove’s Jewelry Box Color Set (it helps to put a drop of the fuchsia on your spoon and drip half of that amount in the soap). The Fuchsia is really strong so it just takes a teensy bit compared to the Yellow. Mix well until you have the perfect pumpkin orange. Then add a pinch or 2 of Sparkle Dust to give the pumpkin an extra festive touch.

FIVE: Check the temperature of the soap and make sure it’s no hotter than 130 degrees (we don’t want to melt our green soap that’s already in the mold). Spritz your green stem layer with rubbing alcohol to ensure the layers stick then pour the sparkly, orange soap into the mold and give it a final spritz with rubbing alcohol.

Tip: If the soap seems a little too big just cut it in half for smaller version. Even though it’s half the size it’s still equally as cute.

Soapylove Line Juicy Details

September 18, 2009 Filed Under: Bramble Berry News

“Mission Control: The Soapylove Line is a go for Launch!”
Here are more of the sweet and juicy details.

Melt and Pour Soap:

Naturally Clear Melt & Pour Soap: This SLS-free soap is as clear as you can get while staying almost 100% natural. The soap comes in a perfect storage container.

Bright White Melt & Pour Soap: This SLS-free soap is the same formulation as the Naturally Clear, only with the addition of all-natural mineral Titanium Dioxide to make the soap white.

Two Colorant Kits:

Jewelry Box Colorant Set: Add a few drops of these gorgeous crystal clear colorants to clear soap base and create any color of the rainbow! The superfine soap glitter suspends easily, adding that irresistible touch of “bling”!

• Ruby Red
• Fiery Fuchsia
• Turquoise Blue
• Sunshine Yellow
• Sparkle Dust (superfine Iridescent glitter)

Sweet Treats Colorant Set: This set takes all the guesswork out of hitting that tricky shade – a mouth watering tan that looks like baked cookies, donuts, waffles, ice cream cones, or pop tarts. The white color allows the crafter to soften it more, or add a drop of Buttercream yellow to warm it up. The White, Pink Frosting, and Buttercream colors are gorgeous for layered dessert inspired soaps. The bonus tube of mixed “rainbow sprinkle” jojoba beads is icing on the cake!

• Bakery Beige
• White Icing
• Pink Frosting
• Buttercream Yellow
• Rainbow Sprinkles

Two Fragrance Sets:

Candy Jar Fragrance Oil Set: With classic hard candy scents, this will be a must for those neon styles and glittery jewel tone soaps! The Vanilla Stabilizer will give extra insurance that those pretty soaps won’t change color.

• Cherry Pop
• Pink Strawberry
• Lemon Drop
• Tutti Fruity
• Vanilla Stabilizer

Delectable Desserts Fragrance Oil Set: Like a trip to the ice cream shop, this set covers all sweet tooth temptations. Creamy frosting, rich chocolate, sweet jam, and refreshing sherbet scents will tickle any fancy!

• Chocolate Fudge
• Strawberry Jam
• Vanilla Frosting
• Orange Sherbet
• Vanilla Stabilizer
