Teach Soap

Ok, looking for interesting ways to try and sell some MP soaps. Just wondering, does anyone know how I could go about designing or creating my own soap molds? I am willing to do the legwork, whatever's involved, but I googled it and can't find anything other than people saying to use things that you have around the house. I am trying to go a step further and either create, draw or design characters and then make them into a soap mpld. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I looked into the custom thing but it is waaaay too expensive!! Thanks guys!!

Some people buy a molding material like silicone, but it's not cheap.

You can make your designed theme and then there's a mold putty called "Amazing Mold Putty" you can find it at Michael's and if you use those 40%or 50% coupons they have you can get it for a good price.

Try Flexy Fast from Brambleberry- shown in SoapQueen's blog here:

Thank you guys, problem though. I first tried to use Sculpey and create my own sulpture, which I did and it took me hours!!! I baked it tehn used the Amazing putty and it came out crappy, I guess my Sculpey wasn't hard enough, the putty stuck to the clay sculpyure. Happened twice, had to scrap both!! Mad because they don't give you that much putty to begin with!!! To make a long story short, here's my question; I finally was smart enough to use one of my kids figures and it came out perfectly. Problem, now this means that I have to use this mold as an embed, because there wasn't enough putty to form it around the figure AND form a soap bar shape. How do I do this? I guess I could embed the soap figure, but, do I have to paint it so the child can see the detailing and be able to tell who it is? Is this even a good idea for a children's soap bar?The figure is about 2 1/2 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide. Most children that like Brobee are between 18 mos. and 4 years old. Any help, again, would be appreciated!!!

I've used flex fast and you better be fast. More trouble than it was worth to me, so I buy molds!
