Teach Soap

I have a project in my mind, I want to embed a really nice antique key charm into a transparent heart shaped soap. The questions is it's made out of brass or copper or some kind of metal, is it a good idea to embed that into the soap directly? Would that stir up some kind of chemical reaction?

Hey Cat, love your soaps!! I saw this type of soap on Etsy, here is the link for it:

I guess if this person could do it, I'm sure you could too!

I'm more worry about the safety issue, if there's any...

It's worth a try. Perhaps if you put the key in a clear m and p pour then embed the key into a bar. Worth the experiment and 4 oz of m and p and play with the colors! You do wonderful colors E!

I noticed on that link to the key in the soap, there's a yellowish/orange halo around the key. It looks kind of gross.
I wonder if you sprayed the key with clear sealant first, if it would keep it from turning color.

Leave a key or a similar material in some water for a week and see what it will do.

I'm thinking there's a rust issue going on with that key. Perhaps a resin coating would keep it from rusting further into the soap? Lacquer? Let us know what works!

I was thinking about rusting or color changing issues also. I will leave the key in the water for awhile to see what it does. Maybe the best is to cast resin or clear coating around the key. But then I was going o provide a chain with the soap so after the soap is used up, the key charm can be put in the chain for a nice necklace. Hum... this requires further experiments for sure. I'm still waiting for my shipment of nice antique looking key and lock charms. I'll definitely report back.

Cat on soapqueen tv there is one about embeding little plastic boxes with money, jewels and such in them. Perhaps you can find that you tube and get some ideas! It would protect your charm!

Oh yeah I did see that episode of soapqueen tv. I'm afraid it's too hard to find a small enough plastic container my keys can fit plus fit into the heart shape soap mold! If you find one, let me know Pam, thanks!

PS. I'm thinking maybe a glass vial?

Then you could call it "the vial of love" soap
