Glycerin?

[craftymom0263]

I bought some glycerin squares a couple years ago to make soap and it didn't turn out. So I decided to make CP soap but would still like to use the glycerin in some way. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I don't know what glycerin squares are. Glycerin is a clear viscous liquid. Do you mean Melt & Pour soap? It is sometimes called glycerin soap.

Yes it is clear glycerin soap squares. I bought them at Hobby Lobby in the soap making section

Okay that is melt and pour soap, also called MP. all you have to do with that is cut it into chunks and melt it a little at a time in the microwave, then once it is melted you can add color and scent and pour it into molds. It's already soap, you don't have to do anything else to it.

Some people like to use MP to make embeds for CP soap, you could do that and combine them both.

M&P is a great way to make soap with the kids. They can color and scent their own bar of soap.

Thanks for the help and the ideas. I will start doing both of them now. For colorant do I add food color or a mica color?

I would probably use mica.
