New Silicone Molds and BugBGone

I haven't fallen by the wayside I've not been feeling well this week.  Never the less I had to make more bug repellent soap as I had a woman come randomly to my door and bought me out for the daughter going tree planting for the summer.  :)) while shopping at the Superstore I came across these silicone molds and I had to buy them. 

$7.00 each.  Thank you! Good price too! And perfect for a bug soap I thought.  I decided to use neons again.  Butterflies are neon pink mica and ultramarine blue mica both from Saffire Blue. White titanium oxide  Bug B Gone, the good stuff for repelling insects.  

The soap took forever to harden so I sped it up and popped them in the freezer and I'm so happy with the result. 

Ladybugs. Fun. My recipe:  olive oil, coconut oil, crisco all vegetable oil contains soybean and palm, castor oil, distill water, sodium hydroxide. Neon micas as listed above and Bug B Gone oils of citronella and litsea cubeba (Japanese Lemon)  

With the left over soap I used my trustworthy milk cartons.  Not only do they make perfect soap molds they make a good sized bar of soap.  

These turned out beautiful.  There was more blue and pink left over then orange.  

I poured it into the milk carton and swirled it with a skewer.  This soap was very soft it was taking forever it seemed to harden up so I stuck it in the freezer for roughly 30 mins so I could get it out.  Maybe the weather had something to do with it because normally it would be hard after 22 hours with this recipe.

The orange, well how pretty!  I ran out of white soap to really mix this.  I didn't want all orange so I poured some orange into the white and it turned this beautiful peach colour.  

Swirled it with a skewer once again and love this result.  Everything here butterflies, ladybugs, milk carton creations have sold out already! I'm out of bug juice now.  Bug B Gone!  It works and you might as well have pretty soap too! 

 

Thanks for following me along!
