Materials

• your choice of soap
• soap dye (optional)
• scents (optional)
• soap mold or container

Directions

1. Microwave soap until melted. Be sure not to let boil. If soap does start to boil make sure to stop heating, stir and reheat as necessary.
2. Add color until desired color is achieved. Food coloring should not be used when coloring soap because it will dye skin.
3. Add approximately 1/8 tsp. of scent depending on the size of the mold. Stir well.
4. Pour into your mold. Soap molds work excellent but you may find many plastic, flexible containers in your home that work well also.
5. At this point if you choose you can add fun embellishments to your soap that will harden inside along with the soap.
6. After the soap has hardened (about 30 minutes) turn the mold upside down and press the bottom. The soap should pop out, but if not run hot water on the back of your mold, then press the bottom.
