SOAP "GRAPE"

Send

If you accidentally have a silicone mold for making jewelry for baking, and you are actively engaged in amateur soap making, then you can try to make similar soap options. It can be not only grapes - strawberries, hearts, geometric shapes and anything else.
For Grape soap, you need:
1. White soap base.
2. Transparent soap base.
3. Any base oils (shea butter, grape seed, peach, etc.).
4. Fragrances (in my case, “Grapes”), instead of fragrances, you can use natural essential oils (orange, lemon, lavender ...).
5. Form for soap "Oval" or "Rectangle". Or a plastic rectangular container.
6. Silicone mold for making baking jewelry.
7. Cosmetic dyes.
8. Wooden skewer.
9. Alcohol.
10. Dishes for melting the base.
11. The knife.

Soap will be prepared in two different ways. In both cases, it turns out beautifully and interestingly. For the first and for the second method, we need clusters of grapes. To make them, we drown the white base, add cosmetic dye to it (I have it “Pink Flamingo”), stir it with a wooden skewer and fill it in a silicone mold. In such forms, the soap freezes quickly and is very well pulled out of the mold. We make at least 15 grapes.

Method number 1. This will be a solid bar of soap. We carefully spray the soap mold with alcohol. We drown the white soap base, enrich it with oils and aromatize. Pour the white base layer into a mold (approximately 5 mm high) and leave it to dry completely. When the layer dries, we put grapes on it in random order. Fill the top with a transparent base, slightly painted with a lilac color and enriched with oils. Important! The transparent base must be warm, otherwise it can melt the grapes. We are waiting for the soap to dry completely and cut it a little with a sharp knife.

Method number 2. Using this method, we will immediately receive several small bars of soap. For this we need a deep and even rectangular shape. Not necessarily special. I used a cleanly washed cream cheese box. We spray it with alcohol and pour in the first layer. Light green color, determine the thickness yourself, it depends on the depth of your form. The first layer should dry completely, then put grapes on the first layer. We do this taking into account the fact that the bar will be cut. From above we pour a transparent soap base, slightly painted in lilac color. The transparent base should be warm, not hot. We are waiting for the bar to dry completely, pull it out of shape, slightly cut the sides and cut into separate pieces! Wonderful grape soap is ready!
