Ingredients
  • 6 Cavity Christmas Assortment Silicone Mold
  • 18 oz. Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base
  • 0.1 oz. Sleigh Ride Fragrance Oil
  • 0.1 oz. Vanilla Color Stabilizer
  • Shimmer Sparkle Gold Color Block
  • Merlot Sparkle Mica
  • Shamrock Green Mica
  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle
Instructions
  1. Chop and melt 18 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour Soap in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Once melted, add shavings of the Shimmer Sparkle Gold Color Block and fully mix in. Continue adding color until you have a sparkly gold color.
  2. Add 0.1 ounce of Sleigh Ride Fragrance Oil and 0.1 ounce of Vanilla Color Stabilizer to the soap. Use a spoon to fully mix in.
  3. Pour the soap into each mold cavity, and spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles.(NOTE: The Christmas Star Mold has been discontinued. It has been substituted with the 6 Cavity Christmas Assortment Silicone Mold. Continue following the directions to paint the details on the soap.)
  4. Once the soaps have fully cooled and hardened (about 2-3 hours) remove from the mold. In small separate containers, mix together about ½ Tbs. rubbing alcohol with ½ tsp. Merlot Sparkle Mica. The “paint” should be thin enough to paint, but saturated enough to leave distinct color on the soap.
  5. Use a small paint brush to paint the mica on the details. Allow to fully dry. Repeat the process with the Shamrock Green Mica.
  6. Once the mica paint has completely dried, spray the soap with unscented aerosol hairspray. Just a quick spray does the trick!
