    Melt and pour additives

    Ok so considering soaping was supposed to be my daughters hobby I'm finding myself getting more and more hooked! She has been doing well with basic melt and pour, just adding colour and fragrance for the moment and while what she makes is lovely I find it very drying on the skin. She is...

    Beginners tips

    First of all thanks to all those that gave advice on supplies. My daughter absolutely loved her present and plans to make her first soap this weekend. She's very excited and has been reading as much as she can to learn. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for absolute beginners to make it...

    Start up equipment / supplies

    Her birthday is the 12th September. The moulds I've bought are from China and ordered a while ago so should come any day now. I got her a 1.2 litre loaf and a selection of 6 others that make individual bars / fun shapes and cake slice shapes so she should have plenty to choose from. I've just...

    Good thinking! As soon as it arrives I will check it. It's a cheap one so not expecting it to hold though. Might have to look into the licence and how to get one as it seems like it's something that is used a lot.

    Just a quick question about the moulds. I've bought silicone ones, like a loaf one first and watching a tutorial I've seen people sit them in like a wooden frame type thing. Do you have to do this or can you use the silicone mould alone? Also have found that in the UK you need a licence to...

    Hello

    Haha I can already see it's going to be addictive! I only started reading forums and looking at tutorials to get a list of the kind of things she will need and I'm already fascinated and have spent a lot more than originally planned!

    Hello

    Just realised I haven't made an introduction post. So I'm Rebecca from England, UK. My 13 year old daughter is a very keen crafter and loves making virtually anything she can herself. She's been really interested in soap making recently so I decided to do some research and get her a starter...

    Help

    I'm also in the UK and buying a start up kit for my daughter. I have found out that you need to have a licence to buy / store / use denatured alcohol hence why it's so hard to find for sale. Soap kitchen say they stock it but will only sell it you if you have the licence.

    Aww thank you, that's really sweet. I'm sure she is going to love the present! I will definitely refer her to this forum as well and put up photos of her creations. I'm quite excited myself.

    Start up equipment / supplies

    Ok great so rubbing alcohol spray and plastic wrap added to the list. Will get a variety of plastic spatulas and spoons instead of the wooden one also. I am in the UK so have been getting supplies from the soap kitchen but I will be sure to take note on the oils etc. used. For the moment I've...

    Start up equipment / supplies

    My daughter (13 years old) has been expressing an interest in soap making for a little while and as her birthday is coming up I've decided to get her some equipment to give it a try. From my research I have decided I only want her doing melt and pour as am worried about the dangers of lye with...
