ooh-la-lather...Similar to our “Posh Wash” soaps featured on the inside, these frilly soaps also get their ultra-feminine touch thanks to easy-to-use designer rub-ons, available in the Scrapbook Dept.

rose appeal...Hate the look of bar soap in your powder room—try these fanciful soap-covered rose petals instead. Simply dip silk rose petals with several coats of clear, scented glycerin and let petals cure. Then display in a pretty dish. Perfect for parties, since each petal acts as a single-use guest soap!

soap on a stickYour kitchen is full of possibilities for fun and unique soap designs! Case-in-point? Check out these scrumptious ice-cream style “soapcicles” easily made using ordinary popsicle molds and craft sticks.

have soap, will travel... Collected ephemera is essential to these jet-setting soaps. Highlight a world of travels using vintage postcards, old luggage labels and handwritten letters. To create this style of soaps, simply place image facedown into bottom of an empty mold. Then, very slowly, pour clear glycerin over center of image. The glycerin will encase the image, giving the “under glass” look

after soap has cured. A fun and unique way to display a few if your favorite treasures.sweet and soapy...Take creative soap-making to the next level with a cheesecake, made entirely of soap! Use a small cake pan as a mold, adding layers of dyed glycerin (each layer must cure before a new layer can be added) to simulate crust, filling, and topping. And for the yummy whipped look shown, use a rubber spatula to work peaks and swirls into partially cured soap. Leftover fluted cupcake liners were perfect for, well, leftover soap. Simply fill cups, let cure, and apply swirls to resemble frosting—Voila!

Life can be a soap opera, so come clean using our versatile soap

making supplies!

divinely decorativeThough these beautiful soaps are just fine for everyday use,

they are most admired for their divine designs! We offer a

wide selection of high-detailed molds—delicate cherubs, ornate crosses, and elegant cameos just to name a few. Place a basket of these decorative scented soaps in any powder room for instant

fragrance and charm.

sudsy souvenirsThese cute little soaps make perfect favors for party-happy kiddos. Made with clear glycerin and melted according to the manufacturer’s directions, simply mix in our easy-to-use soap dyes and fragrance drops. Look to our playful soap molds for a wide assortment of kid-friendly shapes—everything from butterflies to rocket ships! Simply follow all manufacturer’s directions for mixing, pouring and curing.

bee beautifulCatch the buzz with this collection ofhoney and almond bath products handmade by you! Just follow manufacturer’s directions to add subtle color, soothing fragrance and moisturizing Vitamin E oil to glycerin cubes or bubble bath base. Craft custom soap labels using natural cardstock and a honey bee stamp (both available in the Scrapbooking Dept.) for the perfect finishing touch with spa-worthy appeal.

natural spa appeal... Use nature to nurture with this collection of organically-inspired soaps. These handcrafted bars feature everything, from dried grass, to loose tea, to lavender, even oatmeal. To make your own bars, follow the manufacturer’s directions to mix glycerin blocks, soap fragrance, and earthy dyes. Then, simply place natural and organic elements(like the ones mentioned above) in the bottom of the molds before pouring.

extra foam, pleaseBring on the lattes, because thesesoaps are truly half and half! The top half is white glycerin, mixed

with yummy vanilla fragrance. The bottom half is clear glycerin with a generous scoop of ground coffee!

The grounds act as a basic exfolient and natural deodorizer making them perfect for kitchen duty!

posh washThe “P” stands for “princess” and that’s just what you’ll be when your powder room is

stocked with a bevy of these monogrammed soaps. Make them using white glycerin,

delicately scented, and poured into simple square molds.

Then, after soaps have cured, gently apply rub-on letters!

trinkets & shellsLove the notion of sudsy souvenirs? Take the idea a step further by tossing in some tiny tub toys. Just place age-appropriate trinkets (rubber duckies to friendly frogs) right inside the molds. For the more adult crowd, let them lather up with more sophisticated shell-shaped soaps. Create the elegant marble effect by using a toothpick to swirl dyed and un-dyed glycerin together. Be sure to use white glycerin, not clear, to obtain the creamy color.
