    My daughter daughter thought these would make great favors. I have to agree. I will be working on this technique again.

    ENTRY THREAD for July 2024 SMF Challenge - Woodgrain Designs

    Entry for wood soaps- I used the one pot method and brought my soap to a very light trace. I poured side to side pretty fast, the loaf was on an angle. My colors are earth tones. Brown, terracotta, drizzles of gold and a touch of green. I left the remainder of soap batter natural and allowed the...

    Could they be better? Yes, but I just don’t have another free day to take a go at it again. And I will definitely make this for the men in my life and for unique gifts.

    That’s by biggest problem all the time is my cuts! But I am really happy with my results. I cut them horizontally and it kept the graining that I wanted. Very nerve wracking for me. I constantly pep talk myself through! My husband walks by me saying, are you talking to yourself again? 😆

    Tried my first attempt on this rainy day. We’ll see. Regardless of outcome, it was fun and nerve racking at the same time. 😨😬😉

    Need help for shower favors

    Yes, she has so much valuable information on her website for sure. But I love printed books that I can read in black and white and give my eyes a break from the screen. 😊 I have been playing with different melt and pour recipes for the past year. I still need to do some tweaking. I really loved...

    How are you offsetting the cost of Olive Oil?

    I’ve been substituting maybe half of my recipe with the rice bran oil and they have been coming out beautifully.

    Need help for shower favors

    She’s very knowledgeable in soap making. It’s a great go to book. I finally made my own melt and pour base but her book doesn’t provide a recipe for the actual base. Her book provides a wealth of information about natural additives and colors to add to premade m&p bases. Beautiful soap ideas to...

    Need help for shower favors

    Jan Berry gave me the idea. When I first started soap making I purchased this book. I can’t take credit for the idea. I love this book. So packed with amazing information.

    Need help for shower favors

    Believe it or not the little round balls are edible sprinkles that will dissolve and help with bubbles. And the tops were embeds. The chamomile soaps were infused in m&p so no extra curing time. They were really lovely. I added distilled water to the m&p base (maybe a tablespoon) and steeped on...

    Need help for shower favors

    I made my own melt and pour favor baby shower soaps. I just did not have the time to cure in time for the baby shower. They came out very nice but I would have done half the size. I used a lot of product. It was for my grand baby so I spoiled them all! I have infused my melt and pour with...
