Glycerin Soap Melting
If you missed the page that shows how to melt and
work with glycerin soap you should read that page
first. To go to that page click here. It will open in a

Layering
You can easily layer different colors with glycerin soap.
Just fill your mold part way and then let harden part way.
To speed this up you can place the soap in the freezer for
5 minutes. When the soap has a hard skin just spray the
top with the rubbing alcohol and spread it over the soap
with your fingers. Then you can add the next layer. You
can make a lot of pretty striped soaps at one time if you do
layers in a bread pan and then slice it into bars.
Filled Soaps
Glycerin soap can also be made special by putting different
things inside. You just use the same method as when you
layer colors but you add in objects. Make sure you spray
the soap and the objects with the rubbing alcohol to
prevent bubbles. You will get a better soap in the end if
you make it in three layers. The first layer is just soap. The
second layer should be deep enough to cover the object
about 3/4 of the way up. It is easier to make sure that the
object stays in the right place if you are able to still touch
the top of the object until it hardens enough to hold it still.
Then spray the soap and object again with rubbing alcohol
and fill the mold the rest of the way to cover the object.
*NOTE - Please remember to not use anything that
has a point. When the soap gets used down to that
point it could hurt someone.
Ideas
You can add all kinds of things to your soaps.
Rubber ducks or fish in a light blue soap look great
in bathrooms and help keep a smile on your face.
Kids Soaps
For kids you can add plastic toys, animals, bugs, and
jewelry. This would be a great gift or party favor at
a kids birthday party. It is also a great way to get
kids to want to take a bath.
Adults
You can find things that will match or accent your
bathroom. Take a trip to the craft store and look
around for ideas. This is also a great way to use all
those leftover craft supplies or thing that broke and
you set aside thinking you could use it "someday" on
something else.
