    Heart shaped soap with holes! (Uh... not what I wanted!)

    Hi All, I'm making 50 light purple hearts for some friends wedding. These will be given out to all the guests and I am doing this as a gift to my friends. The wedding is a few months away and I just poured my first set of 10 (bought 10 molds off of Amazon) They are sold as individual molds and...

    How are you offsetting the cost of Olive Oil?

    Just wanted to add that I am thankful for this thread! Went to Costco this past weekend and the 2-pack OO was $57.99!!! Yikes! I'll be looking at the substitutions that were mentioned here. Happy Soaping everyone!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I've been missing in action for about a month now and it's good to be back! It started with a nice vacation and ended with my computer completely locking me out for a number of reasons! Long story short, I had to redo all the passwords for most all my accounts!!! Now that that is done, I'm back...

    March 2024 SMF Challenge - Stone Soaps!

    Hi All! I finally got some 'rock soaps' from the molds I made and...uh... I'm disappointed. Apparently the silicone that I used to make soap had quite a few bubbles in it and this caused my rocks to have bubble/craters on the surface of them. I did notice that both parts A and B had many many...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    @AliensrReal I think the soap is okay, but it is more busy looking than I prefer and I was going for a more simple marble type texture. Seems if I had done a different kind of cut to the soap it would have looked more marbled looking and less busy. It was definitely a great learning experience...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    @Shelley D, Thank you! It was a lot of work and it was 3 intense hours of making and then pouring 9 separate pours into the mold. I will do it again because I think I cut it wrong and I want to see how it's supposed to look. That said, I think I'll wait a week or so before I attempt again! 🤣...

    Washing tips?

    @GuacamoleSalad, I wait until I have a small pile of microfiber towels and put it into the washing machine and run as a normal wash but with hot water. I wash them by themselves though I do sometimes add a regular bathroom towel for fun and notice after wash and dry it has some of the soap...
