My First M&P Loaf

[tangled_panda]

I pretty much copied it straight from my blog:

So I was really inspired by Ann Marie's (The Soap Queen) videos, the ones I'm talking about are [ame=http://vimeo.com/4483643]here[/ame] (Swirling) and [ame=http://vimeo.com/5584084]here[/ame] (Packaging) . . .and well you know me, I love making things.

I decided to make a loaf, I think it turned out great! I am so loving Melt&Pour soaps right now!

I didn't have a loaf mold, but I picked up an Ice Cube Bin from Wal-Mart for under 2.00! And it worked perfectly, had just enough give for the soap to pop right out.
It's a bit long, but still works (took about 50oz of soap to get the loaf the right height)
Anyway here is a picture of the Ice Bin, well the side of it anyway. . .

I made the loaf with a mix of Clear and Goats Milk bases, the scent is Rose Jasmine. And I used a combo of Shimmery Blue, Shimmery Pink and Flat Purple colorings

So here is the whole loaf, fresh out of the "mold"

And here is a already wrapped bar. Now I just need to print up some labels.

And finally because I can never to anything perfectly, I cut a bar and well messed it up. So I kept cutting and made 1oz size chunks, I'm calling it Soap-To-Go

I watch the soap queens vids as well, she's amazing and ur soap is beautiful.

But I was wondering...she uses a heat gun to make the plastic wrap adhere, but can you just put the soap in plastic wrap and wrap it, without using a heat gun?

 

[tangled_panda]

I used a heat gun at well -- got it on sale at walmart
You can wrap them without using a heat gun, the wrap just will be a little lumpier on the back. The heat helps keep it flat.
