Is there a way to put confetti in M&P soap using M&P confetti without it melting?
Lane said:Another fun thing to do is make your chunks or confetti with clear MP and dye it heavily, and when you pour your clear, undyed MP around the chunks, it melts them and makes a really pretty stained glass effect.![]()
I LOVE that look! I've never been able to perfect it though.fladais said:it looked like multi-colored ice cubes sticking out a bit over the top.

I'm definitely going to try that this weekend! Thanks for the info! Oh, by the way, did they ever end up falling apart? They only times I tried, my bars feel apart when I used them..fladais said:Lane said:I LOVE that look!

you just have to put in more soap chunks than the mold will hold. build it up high. i didn't think it would work, but it did. i was worried about the pieces that were sticking out, not knowing if they would 'hang on' but they did. i just had to make sure the clear came all the way to the top of the mold to 'glue' it all together.
i used my wavy cutter for the chunks and they were very pretty. i also used a no liner loaf mold i got off ebay. no sticking, it pulled away quite easily. i didn't want to cut the loaves after getting them from the mold. they were just too pretty. they were scented with cotton candy FO. yum!![]()

no, they didn't fall apart. i read somewhere that most of the bars that do fall apart are made with different bases and since this was all done with clear [well, wsp's ultra clear] they never did fall apart. i gave them as valentine gifts to all my nieces and nephews. they loved them.![]()

Chop it all up and melt it back down. Blend it all into a single color.lynnw1982 said:I tried a couple last night and that chunks just started melting. I use the same clear base for the chunks as well as the base and done what Lane said and just heavily coloured the chunks. Unfortunately the did not turn out right and now it just looks like I've put drops of colour in the soap and haven't stirred it.
