Beautiful, safe and functional handmade soaps. Melt and Pour soap
making is fun and easy. Make beautiful boutique quality handmade
soaps in your kitchen. Basic Melting Instructions: You’ll need
some items from around the house: microwave, cutting board, glass
measuring cups, kitchen , spoon for stirring and propping,
plastic wrap, scissors, (optional-rubbing alcohol in a spray
bottle) Prepare: Depending on your project, decide how much clear
and/or white soap you will need. Most of our molds are between
3-4 ounces. Cut desired a of soap brick into cubes, and
place into a microwave-safe measuring cup. Have your fragrance,
color and mold ready at hand. You will want your mold cavity side
up. Depending on the mold you choose, you may need to put a spoon
or even grab some caps off a few soda bottles to help steady the
mold. This way when you pour the soap in later it won’t run all
over. which brings up another point, feel free to cover your work
area with brown paper bags or paper towels. It is soap and cleans
up with water but still, less mess is best. Color & Fragrance:
Add fragrance/color soap as indicated in instructions or project
sheet. We use about 6 drops of fragrance per ounce of soap but we
are fragrance divas here. Colors not so much. A little goes a
long way so start with one or two drops and add from there.
Remember you can always mix and match colors for all kinds of
shades. Microwave: You’re ready to microwave. Soap melts at a
pretty low temperature and once it starts it goes quick. It can
get really hot so please, please be careful. Place the
microwave-safe measuring cup into microwave and heat for 30
seconds, remove and stir to break up the bigger blobs. Repeat
this now in 10 and then 5 second intervals until soap is
completely melted. Keep an eye on it, if it starts to bubble up,
it's too hot. If this happens, turn off the microwave, let it
cool, (the cup should be warm, not burning hot to the touch)
remove, stir, and place back in microwave if necessary to finish
the melting process. Pour & Remove: Take your melted soap and
slowly pour it into a mold cavity. You want to fill it all the
way to the “top” this will help you when you de-mold the soap. If
you want really pretty soap, you can spritz it with alcohol to
remove the bubbles. Let it cool, and be patient. It can take over
an hour to dry. If it's warm to the touch, it's not ready. Once
it’s cool, flip the mold over and start to apply constant, even
pressure with thumbs to the backside of the mold. You may need to
gently pull one side of mold away from the soap bar to break air
seal. It takes a little practice, but you’ll get the hang of it.
After you admire your work, go ahead and wrap it tightly in
plastic wrap to keep the moisture in until you are ready to use
it or gift it. Tips and Tricks: -Use rubbing alcohol to remove
air bubbles, adhere layers to one another and to spray objects
you want to embed in the soap to prevent air pockets. The alcohol
evaporates from the heat of the soap so there is little residue.
-You can re-melt soap, so save mistakes, scraps and extras. Just
be mindful of the fragrances and start at 5-10 second intervals
when re-melting. -Do not move molds until soap has be to set
or you can create s in your soap. If this happens, try to
remove them by spraying rubbing alcohol over the . -When
layering colors, allow a layer of skin to form on the poured soap
to prevent layered colors from bleeding into each other. Test the
layer with the tip of your finger by gently touching the soap –
it should not wiggle, should not be hot and should feel slightly
firm to completely firm. -Soap can take anywhere from 30-90
minutes to harden so don’t rush it. If it is still warm to the
touch it should not be un-molded yet. It also sets up quicker
when you put it in the refrigerator once it solidifies. HAVE FUN
