Teach Soap

I know this has been addressed before but my eyes hurt from searching thru these forums so much!

I am making hard lotion bars. I used plastic molds but they didn't do too well. I found a cute bee & flower silicone mold on eBay that I'm *patiently* waiting to be delivered. It's a single cavity mold & I would like ones with several cavities in it. I'd also like molds that are available in the US---seems like most everything was in China & the shipping would take forever. Where do you guys buy your silicone molds at? Thanks!

From chase molds & flexible molds usually.

I don't know if you're looking for anything fancy, but Brambleberry has this one, which makes squares:

And rectangles:

I have a couple of the square ones. The nice thing is, you don't have to fill all the squares if you don't need them.

You can also use silicone muffin pans, like those made by Wilton. You can find them at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or whatever craft store you have near you.

And also check the Dollar stores and places like TJMaxx and Ross. Lots of times you can find them there.

Aside from BB and the silicone ice cube trays from the dollar tree and big box stores, you can find a wide assortment on Amazon. In fact, I have some on the way now. They had quite a few for sale last week for 3$ and most were 6 cavity, 3.8 to 5 ounce each. They have multiple flower molds, as well as the rectangles, squares, and loaves. Just watch your shipping. If you use all the same supplier it won't be bad or if you buy the ones that have the shipping paid (you have to buy 25$ worth). Either way, it's a great place to look!

You can pick up the smaller object silicone molds (stars, circles, hearts, etc) at Goodwill for about $1/each. A friend brought me 10+ which was a nice present.
