Loofah soap!

[AshleyR]

Here it is. It didn't turn out perfectly, but I learned a few things for next time, so that's good!

They are scented with Red Currant & Thyme Tea FO. Very yummy! Next time I will probably use a smaller sized loofah since the loofah took up the whole width of the pipe and didn't allow the soap to get around the sides much. :\

Reminder for next time: Make sure the cap is on the bottom of the pipe BEFORE pouring the soap into it. Yuh-huh.

Nice! I did the same thing about not getting the soap around the sides much. I love the two tone!

Thanks!

I think the loofah might turn lighter once the soap dries out.

Those are beautiful .I love the way they look , like a flower in the center .


When you get old like me you will write on your pvc with a felt marker "is the lid on" ? or make a note on your recipe .

LOL! The funny thing is, I heard it fall off when I moved the mold, but I was in such a hurry (you know when you get to that point where you have to move FAST!) and I just assumed I had knocked something else off the counter. I didn't realize until the mold was full that there was no bottom on it (the counter was holding all the soap in!) Hah!

 

[Guest]

Thank God you didn't move it off the counter . :shock:

Woah! these are super cool 8) What do you mean by pipe? is it a similar size to a pringles can?

 

[Jola]

Those are excellent! I love that it looks like a flower!


a lot of people use PVC pipes in place of pringles cans for molds

 

[misty]

Ashley, I think they look great....haven't tried doing loofahs yet.

I used a 3" PVC pipe for the mold.

Now, you are the only person that knows you wanted soap around the edges. I was thnking how you must have searched & searched for a louffa the perfect size to fit inside your tube. I thought you planned it!!!

 

[Dixie]

They look great like you planned um just that way. When I saw them I thought " Oh I know I can't make mine look that good"

I bought one to try next week, but I wanted to do the one whre half the loofa sticks out on one side of the bar.

 

[AshleyR]

LOL thanks ladies... I guess that is true!

 

[I love soap!]

Did you know that luffa is a vegetable?

 

[topcat]

Beautiful soaps Ashley - they do look like flowers!

The instructions I got say to cut the soap off from around the edges if the loofah is too small in the mould, so I think you did exactly right!

That's a very pretty soap, very feminine looking.

I'm curious to see what will happen when the soap cures and shrinks. Will the loofah shrink with it? Hmmm....
