How to Make Whimsical Insects Melt and Pour Soap Bars

What You Need

• 400g Melt and Pour Soap Base
• Soap Colouring
• Soap Fragrance or Essential Oils
• Rubbing Alcohol or Vodka in a Spray Bottle
• Mouldtastic Insect Leaf Silicone Mould <– This mould is obsolete, use the Mouldtastic Beautiful Bugs Silicone Mould instead (it has slightly larger cavities and a different-shaped lady bug).

Method

Weigh out your soap base and cut it up into small cubes. 400g is enough to fill all eight mould cavities (approx 50g of soap in each).

If you want to, you could colour or scent each cavity separately.

Melt your soap base as per the instructions. Add the soap colour and soap scent if applicable and mix well.

Carefully pour your soap base into each cavity. Bringing the pouring spout down to touch the edge of the cavity so the soap runs down the wall of the cavity and slowly fills it will limit air bubbles in your soap.

Spray the surface of the soap with alcohol to get rid of surface bubbles.

Let the soap set for 24hrs and then peel back the silicone mould to release the soap.
