    I always made simple soaps but recently I have been trying to learn new techniques. I used a simple technique in this soap (still learning). In this soap, I first made a simple slab of melt and pour soap (added glitter to it). After I unmolded it, I cut triangle shapes to represent 🌲 trees. I...
