Welcome to my fun Loopy Soap tutorial! What in the world is Loopy Soap? Follow along and find out.
Utilizing our still-not-finalized, waiting-for-harder-plastic loaf molds for Melt and Pour and our ultra cool silicone baking tray mold, this soap is easy to make.
You’ll need:
Clear Melt & Pour (I used our Bulk Base; you could use any of them)
Non-Bleeding Purple Colorant
Heavy Metal Gold
Fragrance (I used Red Lychee Tea)
Plastic Loaf Mold (I have extra of the weaker plastic molds. If you want one for $15, let me know)
Silicone Baking Tray
Pyrex (or heat safe glass)
Rubbing Alcohol in spritzer bottle
Spoon
Step One: Melt 8 ounces of clear soap in the microwave.
Step Two: Color with non-bleeding purple. Pour into Silicone Baking Tray.
Optional: If using an old or dried out melt and pour, add 1 Tablespoon of Liquid Glycerin at Step Two to help with pliability.
Step Three: After soap has hardened (about 20 minutes), gently peel soap out of mold. Cut into strips. Start to fold the soap over and on itself.
Tip: Fold within 20 or 30 minutes of pouring. If you wait too long, the soap will form small cracks (like the soap in the photo). The cracks will also happen if you put the soap in the freezer to speed the hardening process. It’s important that you allow the soap to harden at room temperature.
Step Four: Carefully position the soap in the mold, checking to make sure the fit is perfect.
