Thrifted Find- Making Soap from a Kit

Hello my friends!

My husband and I went thrifting together,

looking for a new project.

Didn't find anything except this brand new Soap Kit.

It was only $2.00 so I picked it up.

The kit listed what was included to make 10 bars.

Let's see what's inside-

 

Two stamps for embossing the soap bars

A large amount of melt and pour soap blocks

The form to make the bars of soap

Two choices of powdered colorant,

pink and green

Honeysuckle scent in a squeeze bottle-

smells wonderful!

The kit also contained handmade botanical paper

and raffia to wrap the bars.

And a very short instruction sheet!

To start-

The stamp was put in the mold

The instructions were easy!

Each bar of soap would need 4 small cubes.

The soap was soft and cut easily with a kitchen knife.

Place the cubes in a microwavable- pourable container.

It melted at about 30 seconds.

I added a pinch of the colorant and a few drops of scent,

mixing well with a popsicle stick.

I made one bar at a time.

The soap set up fast!

Here is a bar with the embossing.

I wrapped each bar in plastic wrap.

I wrapped each bar with the paper and raffia from the kit.

There was more than enough.

The kit really made 10 bars! wow!

That was fun!

I have seen the slabs of melt and pour soap at the craft store

and I have plenty

of colorant and scent left over.....

If I buy another slab of soap

I will probably make more.

I would love to make REAL soap someday

but I am nervous about working with chemicals like lye.

So I would recommend making soap this way-

 

These will be perfect for my Valentines :)
