So I bought a few different MP bases thinking I was just going to melt them down, pour them in molds, and be done with it. Well, I did that with two of the bases, and I'm just bored! I need something to do with them... without having to order things and preferably without having to spend more money!

Any ideas??

Um, can you use cookie cutters to make your own imbeds? Like, color some MP and then use cookie cutters?

There is also layering and swirling. If any of your molds have designs on them you can do double pours in them.

There are loads of additives in your kitchen! Do you drink coffee? Freshly ground coffee makes a wonderful exfoliant, and a great kitchen bar soap. I've also used clay (ok so that is not from my kitchen), I've made a paprika base which adds color of course. You can use tea leaves, just about anything fresh and vibrant would be a wonderful additive!
Good luck!

Just don't use fresh fruits or vegetables. They can grow moldy.
