I have not made a confetti soap yet but after just working out how to use the planner on my soap cutter I have a mass of curls, some very pretty jade green and chocolate coloured ones from my buttermint soap. My question is do I account for the curls going into the batter when I mix it or do I just make up the batch and if there is some left over put into small moulds?

I think both are possible and it depends on personal preference which method you use (do you mind doing a bit of math or do you mind having leftover batter in smaller molds)

I currently have lye cooling for my first confetti try....again trying to duplicate one of @Jersey Girl beautiful designs lol.
anyway, i shredded a bar that was a tester. Stupid question. Do you chop the curls into smaller pieces? Some are long from the length of the bar, and some are shorter. I know it might sound dumb lol. But i never did a confetti soap before

When I shred a soap for confetti I use a stainless box grater and i use the bigger sized holes of the grater. My thinking was that I wanted the confetti a bit thicker so it wouldn’t melt together when I gelled it but I don’t know if that would happen, it’s just something I thought “could” so I use the bigger holes. I only push the soap halfway down the grater to make them relatively consistent in size and avoid really long pieces but I don’t think it matters much if the pieces were longer. The only way to find out is to experiment! I’ve never seen a confetti soap I didn’t like.

Everyones soaps are beautiful! Now I want to try to make a soap w/ embeds. Ive got an idea but of course what I'm imagining in my head may not turn out in soap! now I need a yellow color' does anyone know if Turmeric turns soap yellow or is it orangish?.
You may want to start a new thread with that question so it gets seen, but also if you search turmeric on the forum, there have been a lot of people who have used it in infusions, etc. I think the consensus is it will fade to a yellowish tan after starting out orange.
This is a really creative confetti soap video!
Just cut this. Made some babies with the leftovers.

This was a rose geranium and pink clay soap that moved way to quick so it ended up as shredded soap. Ended up selling out pretty fast and could never reproduce it

Three colours with increasing amounts of confetti as the colour lightened.
