Anybody out there have unusual/clever lotion bar packaging methods?
I am thinking of making a few - no big production, 5-6 at the most. My research regarding the packaging finds that most people put them in round tins. So - my original idea is to use this mold:

I was never a fan of the twist tubes - I like holding the whole bar in my hand to better soften the lotion.
Any good DIY thrifty ideas? I have thought of using the cube mold:
