Time: 30 minutes
Supplies:
- Melt-and-pour glycerine soap
- Large glass measuring cup
- Round silicone soap mold
- Round cookie cutter, slightly smaller than mold
- Green and pink soap coloring
- Essential oils
- Black fondant
- Spray bottle of alcohol or hairspray
- Sharp knife
Step 1: Roll tiny pieces of black fondant between your fingers and then pinch slightly to create a seed shape. Make enough to have 6 seeds in each circular cavity.
Step 2: Place about half of the soap in a large glass measuring cup and microwave for about 40 seconds. Check it and microwave in 10 second increments until the soap is melted.
Step 3: Stir in pink soap coloring.
Step 4: Pour a little pink soap into each circle mold (just about 1/4 inch) and top with 3 seeds on each side. Keep in mind you’ll be cutting these in half to create slices.
Step 5: Top with remaining soap so that each cavity is filled at least 1-inch. Lightly spray the top with alcohol or hairspray (I love this trick!) to remove any air bubbles formed on top.
Step 6: Let the soap set for about 30-40 minutes. Then carefully press the round cutter into the mold and remove the outside circle of soap. Leave the rest in the mold – it should be firmly positioned in the middle of the cavity.
Note, you can save the extra pieces of soap to re-melt for later use.
Step 7: Heat the remaining soap in a clean glass measuring cup and stir green coloring into the melted soap.
Step 8: Then carefully pour the green soap around the edge of the mold until it is the same height as the pink soap. Don’t stress if a little lands on top because you can cut it away later. Set aside to harden again for at least 40 minutes.
Step 9: Remove the soaps from their molds and cut each one in half with a sharp knife. If any green has spilled over onto the front or back of the soap, simply cut it away.
Now your soaps are ready to use!
