Melt & Pour Book

[lsg]

I confess that I am a sucker soap making books. Since I have started making my own melt & pour and transparent bases, I have started experimenting with design ideas. I bought this book for my Kindle Fire, Melt & Pour Soap Crafting by C. Kaila Westerman. Most of her ideas are pretty basic, but in the last section she explains how to make your own tube embeds. She calls them canes. You can just use lined paper towel tubes for the outside tube mold, if you wish. I love that I am not limited to silicone embed molds from China

Ooh, I haven't read that one. I wonder if my library has it.
I'm like you, I enjoy reading soap making books, plus lotion/bath product books. I love Soapylove's MP books. I wish I wouldn't have sold all mine

I would love to do this but I don't understand how she makes tubes with paper towels?

You use the tube that the paper towels are wrapped around and line the inside of it with freezer paper to make and embed mold. Block off and tape an end and you have a mold
