To Make Candy-ish Soap

Hello my food friends! Today i am Kat the Crafsy "Confectionist".........Yesterday, the 26th I made soap with my grandma and I think that making soap is a great passtime, and I have come to like it. I love how they look like candy every time I look at them I just want to eat them....... so tempting to eat....... Okay so this is what each one is:
(left to right) Pink and White turtle, Pink, White, and Blue Bar, Green and Yellow Turtle, Green and Yellow Frog and I am currently using a Yellow frog. Which all are scented Peppermint. Making soap is basiclly easy to make and all that you need is:
  • The Soap mold
  • Glycerin soap clear and white.( I prefer clear because it looks soo much like candy, TIP: If you use a 3-layer using white, white, clear.)
  • A spray bottle of rubbing alchohol
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Fragrance and dye

What you need to do is melt the glycerin for about 10- 20 seconds per 2x3 in bar. As soon as you take it out of the microwave add the fragrance and color. Stir them pour into molds. Spray rubbing alchohol over the top, and let it sit. To take it out turn the mold upside-down and tap the mold and it sould pop out. Wrap the soap in plastic wrap to preserve it. I heard that you can take the scrap of soap that you end up throwing away , melt it in a pot with water and pour into mold do the same as above. I tried it (sorry I don't have pictures...) and it worked I just had to freeze it to get it out of the mold. It worked though.

Well farewell, my crafty creators! Untill next time....................
