Welcome

Soap making is a fun and exciting hobby, full of trial and tribulations! When you create soap you are creating art, each one is different, never the same. An addicting hobby.... once you get started all you think about is what kind of soap to make next. This blog is about my soaping experience please enjoy!

Finished Soap Bars! A Sucess!


These bars came out of my wooden soap mould, the end pieces I roll and make into a soap ball. All you have to do now is run the edges over with a vegetable peeler to remove the ragged sides and let it cure. Curing time....at least 4 weeks.

More Bar Cutting!

Here is the first cut, I feel kind of professional doing this lol! But this is where it gets exciting. After reading and reading and scanning the internet I can finally see the reward! I am still a rookie at this new craft but this wants me to make more! The smell is amazing too! I got 30 bars out of this batch!

How to Cut Your Soap into bars!


Well folks its been since March since I have made any entries and never did finish up on the Love Soap. After you remove your soap from the molds ( a good rest time is 12-48 hours) you end up with loaves of soap. What I did was go the hardware store and purchased a Mitre box. Mine cost 10 bucks so cheap to buy. I took some white medical tape and marked the mitre box at 1 inch. You put the loaf into the box line it up from the tape mark to the slots where you cut. Simple. I purchased a soap cutter which makes this task easy.
