To make the Microsoft Small Business Summit soap (or any soap using Water Soluble Paper), you will need the following:
White Melt and Pour Soap
Clear Melt and Pour Soap
Fragrance (non-yellowing)
Water Soluble Paper
Optional: Dropper & Glitter
Knife (to cut the soap)
Spritzer Bottle filled with Rubbing Alcohol
Pyrex (or heat safe container)
Spoon
Soap Mold (I like Milky Way Molds)
Water Soluble Paper is a super soluble paper that can be printed on with an inkjet printer or written on.
Step One: Design & Print your Project
Since Water Soluble Paper is $.60 per sheet, try to fit as many logos, photos or wording onto a full sheet of paper. Print a full sheet using an ink jet printer. With a fine mister of hairspray, finely mist the entire sheet. The hairspray helps to keep the color from bleeding once the paper is embedded in the soap.
Cut the logo, the photo or the wording out of the paper. Test to make sure the object easily fits inside of your chosen mold.
