Do you have a problem with the erasers bleeding in the soap? I did some a few months ago and they are now almost impossible to tell what they are.
Not at all – but maybe we have different erasers than you do? We tested ours pretty extensively before bringing in because I have had other plastic toys do that (and boy, isn’t it frustrating?!) =) Were you using the Bramble Berry erasers when they bled? If so, definitely let me know. I want to hear about it =)
No, I wasn’t using the Bramble Berry ones. I guess I know what I have to do now. LOL Thanks!

Thanks, Claudia! It’s such a fun and playful project!
What a great Easter basket “treat” for the kidos, and no sugar rush!
Great point, Leilani! They won’t even miss the Easter candy =)
I would love to do this do you need to use the oil’s from bramble berry or can you get them at your local store?
You can use any skin safe fragrance oil =) So no potpourri or candle fragrance oils.
Where on earth did u get those piggies??!!!!
Aren’t they the cutest? You can get them here:

Which loaf mold did you use 12 or 9 inch? Thanks.
We used a 12″ clear loaf mold for this tutorial. Unfortunately we do not sell the clear mold anymore but we do have a white plastic mold that will be perfect http://www.brambleberry.com/12-inch-Loaf-Mold-P5051.aspx

I love these Iwako erasers. The Unicorn ones are soooooo cute!
Have you tried using them after the soap has gone to see if they still work?
I have not but in theory, they totally should. =) Let me know if you try it!
I was wondering how much clear and white soap base you would use if you only have the 9″ mold?
Great question. The 12″ mold holds 4.5 pounds and the 9″ mold holds about 3.25 pounds of soap. Since this recipe has a total of 3 pounds, it will be cutting it close in the 9″ loaf mold (especially since you’re adding the piggies). Just to be on the safe side I would decrease each layer by 2-3 ounces.
I would try 5 ounces for the white soap layers and 14-16 ounces of the clear. Just make sure you have enough to completely cover the piggies.
