Dirt Roots

[Paulainsc]

Thanks. I didn’t know that was a thing.

I think those would be too thick/stiff, and not an ideal shape. The amazon padding air bags are shaped almost exactly like the bottle. If you can think of any other repurposed disposable bags, preferably kind of thin, please let me know. I’m trying to come up with something.

Well, my new batch of “wide mouth” 16 oz squeeze bottles just came and they’re not nearly as wide a mouth as the ones I had.
However, I just did another pull through using a variety of bags, including a cut produce bag, and some ziplocks, and they worked ok. The new bottles are taller than the ones I’ve been using (and not as wide, sadly) so I ordered 100 shrink wrap bags that were 5x10”. Hopefully that works as well. I’m hoping to have enough gear soon to do a double batch!
Thanks so much for all your interest and assistance. This forum is the best! I’ll keep you posted on how it works if you want.

What about small dog poo bags? Sounds gross and I don’t know if they have sizes...?

@Paulainsc I totally thought of those! They’re next to try if the shrink wrap bags I ordered don’t work, but I hope they will. But, the shrink bags were cheaper! You really get it!!!

On a roll with the pull throughs! Naming this one “Dirt Roots”. Colored with purple, pink, and red Brazilian clay, indigo, and activated charcoal. Scented with EO of cedar, fir, frankincense, and rosemary. These made me smile so hard! Continuing to streamline my system to reduce waste.

Beautiful! ♥
These make me want to break out my pull through tools and cylinder mold. I’ve yet to try them out!

TashaBird, your soaps are beautiful. What are you using as a pull through tool?

A pull through tool. There’re several online. I also order some custom.

I notice on the picture of the bags the source of your bags is: Storopack
They may point to a place where you can buy more bags.

Thank you. I ordered some bags that I’m hoping will work, if not that is definitely an option.

Are you 3D printing your own pull throughs or . . . . ?

I absolutely love these! They are quite possibly the most beautiful soaps I ever seen.

I agree!

Baby bottle liners should be about the right size, and you can find them anywhere that sells baby formula or online. Walmart sells some online -- 50 for $8.00, around $0.16 each.

Was just gonna mention those lol

I've said it on Instagram but lemme repeat lol.. These are just absolutely amazing. I agree with @KiwiMoose

Very 'art deco' looking - which is an era that I love, style-wise.

I agree with the others, these are absolutely gorgeous! You have definitely perfected the technique!!!

Makes me want to try some, but I have never been overly find of round soaps to use... Can't hold on to the silly things in the shower!!!
