I can't believe I just did this!

I had a ton of different soaps that I wanted to make for Christmas gifts. I'd made a few batches but time flew & suddenly it's November 1st! So today I went into a soap making frenzy! I got to my last batch & something went adding with my color. Instead of the gorgeous purple-blue I had created, my color turned charcoal gray when I added it to my goats milk batter. I didn't mind, the scent was a heavenly dewberry & if I decided not to gift it then I'd have a oddly colored stash just for me. What I can't believe I did was, I made more soap than I had molds for! :shock: Caught up in the euphoria of soaping, I failed to realize that I had run out of molds & here I was with a tub of charcoal gray dewberry soap! I panicked for a second, then I saw the empty crafters choice oil bottles that were waiting to be tossed. I grabbed them, ran to the kitchen counter & cut the tops off! Then I rushed back to my work table & filled the bottles plus a couple of dixie cups with soap batter! Had anyone else ever gotten carried away like that when they were soaping?

I havn't but it sure sounds like something I would do!!! So much so as I was reading, it was me I saw running around looking for something to use as a mold!!

Lol, I'm ordering back up molds with my next supply order just in case I get lost in my soap world again!

I cut the lower three or four inches off pepsi bottles for girlie shave soap. I've used plactic sandwich tubs. I have been saving a few small boxes just in case. I feel your pain. lol Once I put a walmart plastic bag in a bread pan. You can do the same with a cake pan.

My laundry room is where i soap. Its filled with empty bottles, boxes, containers and cups. its starting to look more like a recycling center than a wash room, lol. but my fav right is an empty dannon yogurt container makes a nice round tapered soap. Good thing you think fast on your feet!

Great ideas ladies! I just came across an empty cardboard box today in my pantry that I thot would make a nice size mold & I always have tons of plastic shopping bags on hand! I think I'll go line the box with a couple of bags now so I'll be ready if I ever run into that situation again! Glad to see that I'm not alone when I get lost in soap!

I'm thankful for my mom in this part, she brings me all of her milk cartons, so I have overstock....but I see a big batch in my future, so I better stock up!

I got a lot of great ideas for molds from the "what molds are you using" post! I wish I could find an old chest of drawers. I'd use every other drawer as a slab soap mold!
