Step 1: Cut and Melt Your Opaque Soaps!

First we need to melt down the soap.

Just throw them into a paper cup and microwave for about 1 min!

Step 2: Colour Your Soaps

Add the colouring TIP: You want a small amount of a bunch of different colours to blend later. 30 seconds in a microwave should be plenty to get the soap to the right consistency.

BONUS - To add smell, add a few drops of your favourite essential oil!

Step 3: Freeze the Soap!

Let the solid colour layers set in the freezer. Give them about 15 mins to properly cool before taking them out!

Step 4: Make Shards

When they’re done you’re going to start building your layers and blending together the colours. Cut your colours into small shards.

Step 5: Melt the Clear Soap Base

Use the microwave and check every 15 seconds! (Soap explodes in the microwave).

Step 6: Mix Your Soaps!

Place your shards in the clear liquid as quickly as possible and cool in the freezer for 15 mins.

Step 7:

Shave off the rounded edges of the soaps to make the geometric shapes!

Step 8: Enjoy!

And voila! Your soaps are finished!
