SMF October 2018 Challenge - Travel Soap!
Help Support Soapmaking Forum:
I just can't make the time to get this done. I need to be an adult and do the things that need doing. Most of these are good, but all are time consuming. Earlier in the month, when I thought I'd have the time to play around a bit, I poured a thin layer left from another soap. I think it kind of looks like a goofy little owl, so I'll share this at least. Good luck everyone - I am anxious to see what you come up with.
Yay Thank you!! Just posted mine
I love the design!

I fear I won't be able too in time. I will be a little busy.

You bet they die
Ooohhh, it does look like an owl.
I will take some photos tomorrow. Mine seems very boring compared to other people's ideas.

This is my non-entry. The shavings are from the soap I made too late for the dancing funnel challenge. I used a veggie peeler and slowly shaved the soap into small curls. They are a little thick, though, so they don't completely wash away. I did not coat this tin with beeswax as that was annoying to do. But I did decorate the tin to match the challenge entry. Here is, "Glamping, Part Deux."

The tin idea, I like it! Very practical.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned I had this idea of making small tablet shaped soaps in a blister pack, but didn't want to cause too much waste.. Well it just happened I had to take some medication and as I was about to throw away the empty pack I realized I wasn't wasting anything if I just reused a blister pack So I tried it out anyway.. And as I was thinking of different ways to make an emergency soap dispenser, @Samantha Lopez 's idea of tic tac soap got me inspired to try mini mint soaps.. I really like how you just press to get one tiny piece of soap without having to touch any of the others!
And these are some of the other creations that were made during an afternoon of playing around with soap dough.. The clothes are for a different suitcase than my entry, which didn't arrive on time and the clothes don't fit the smaller suitcase. (and it would probably have been cheating to enter those because my boyfriend helped with the skirt, shampoo bottle, binoculars and the camera)
My boyfriend also got the idea to make a pinecone instead of a flower, because it's a bit sturdier and you can still easily peel off small bits, so he made a soap dough pinecone!

All these ideas are so interesting but for those of us who have too many "adult responsibilities" all I do is buy a plastic $ store soap travel box in which a normal bar of soap fits. Of course this is only for use in the hotel and not gas station rest rooms.
That's what I do. But this was a challenge and an opportunity to be creative. This happened to fall on a day that my normal "Adult Responsibilities" didn't get in the way and I was able to make time for fun.
Good for you. Not so with me. I am very behind on lotion making. Caught up on soap though so that's good.

I think this is more for soap in your handbag type occasions and for when you are backpacking or travelling ultra light.

UGH I am such a slacker! Once again I didn't get in on the challenge, even though it would have been super easy(ish). *sigh* Maybe some of the 2019 challenges I'll be able to participate in. ...
I have been behind the 8ball all month!
Missed the deadline, but still wanted to share my entry, inspired by Grandmother Moon
Scented with a rockin blend I call “vanilla thrilla” [emoji1]
A little more than one use, but not so much I’d feel guilty tossing hahaView attachment IMG_5438.JPG
