Soap with multicoloured pattern

Soap with drip effect Instructions for 3 pieces of soap with drip effect.

1 Measure the soap into three batches: 2 x 10 g and 1 x 70 g white soap base.

2 Put the soap base in a heat-resistant container. Melt the soap in the microwave at 80% power for around 30 seconds. If the soap is not completely melted, heat it for 5 seconds at a time until it is completely liquid.

3 If you do not have a microwave, you can melt the soap base in a water bath at 50-70 °C. Do not allow the water to boil. Stir the soap while melting.

4 Add 5 drops of red soap colour to the first batch of 10 g melted soap.

5 Stir the colour thoroughly into the melted soap.

6 Make small blobs by pouring a little soap into each of the three moulds. Allow to set.

7 Melt the second bath of 10 g of soap and add 5 drops of brown colour to the melted mixture.

8 Stir the colour thoroughly into the melted soap.

9 Make small blobs by pouring a little soap into each of the three moulds. Allow to set.

10 Melt the 70 g batch of soap base and add 3 drops of brown colour.

11 Stir the colour thoroughly into the melted soap.

12 Pour one-third of the mixture into each of the three moulds and allow to set.

13 Once the soap has set, carefully remove it from the mould. The soap is fully hardened and ready for use after 24 hours of drying time on an absorbent surface (e.g. cardboard). Store the soap in a self-draining soap dish or wrapped in tissue paper or in a cellophane bag.

Two-coloured soap Instructions for 3 pieces of soap with marbling.

1 Measure 2 x 40 g of white soap base.

2 Put the soap pieces in a heat-resistant container. Melt the soap in the microwave at 80% power for around 30 seconds. If the soap is not completely melted, heat it for 5 seconds at a time until it is completely liquid.

3 If you do not have a microwave, you can melt the soap base in a water bath at 50-70 °C. Do not allow the water to boil. Stir the soap while melting.

4 Add 15 drops of red soap colour to one batch of 40 g and leave the other batch of 40 g soap base white.

5 Stir the soap colour well into the soap base to create an even colour.

6 Gently pour both the melted white and red-coloured soap into the mould at the same time, so that they flow together to create a marble effect. Allow the soap to set.

7 Once the soap has set, carefully remove it from the mould. The soap is fully hardened and ready for use after 24 hours of drying time on an absorbent surface (e.g. cardboard). Store the soap in a self-draining soap dish or wrapped in tissue paper or in a cellophane bag.
