So my friend and I went to a soap making class today, it was really fun! The front of their shop has all their soaps for sale (oh-my-goodness-inspiration!) and you pick any scent you want. Then they give you a rectangle clamshell container with a base background color of your choosing (don't forget the margaritas) and then there's a giant playground of colors, cookie cutters, stencils, glitter, more glitter, more margaritas - it was a ton of fun!
They had a rack of long soap bars in all sorts of colors, she took a planar tool and ran down the bar to get long curly strips and that's what we used to cut out shapes/designs. Once you get all the embed objects you want in your container, then they scent a clear base and pour it in and you're done.
I know I've seen tutorials on BB for filling a small layer of soap base & liquid glycerin into the bottom of the tray mold and then once cool you can bend and flex it - but doesn't that harden after a while? (like in the pinwheel soap tutorial) I would like to know how this place had large bars of soap and could just shave off a long strip and it feels super flexible, bendy, kinda waxy I guess - not the best in describing it. Would like to be able to replicate that at home for my own projects. Definitely going back for another girl's night out, it was a cool concept of a store and right next to a pottery painting place that I love also.
Here's the rack of soap logs:
Here's my finished product! Not too shabby for first time, lol. I picked a FO called "Surf's Up" so thought it was an appropriate scene. Whopping 10oz bars!
And just for wishing - LOOK AT ALL THOSE! *dreamy*
