From "Craft Lab"episode DCLB-261 which airs on the DIY Network.
Jennifer Perkins and Debbie Chialtas make soapsicles out of Popsicle molds. This is a really fun project that is a great way to get the kids to stay clean.
Materials:
white soap base
mica colorant
lime, orange and strawberry fragrance oils
rubbing alcohol in spray bottle
Popsicle molds
glass measuring cup
Popsicle sticks
small cups
Steps:
- Melt three ounces of the white soap base in a measuring cup.
- Dissolve orange colorant in the orange fragrance in a small cup.
- Mix the orange colorant into the white soap base and stir thoroughly.
- Pour orange soap into a Popsicle mold. Let set for 15 minutes until set but still slightly soft.
- Insert a Popsicle stick. Put soapsicles in the freezer for 30 minutes for easy removal of the soapsicles from the mold.
- Remove soap from the mold and allow to warm to room temperature.
- Cut one-third off of each side of the orange soapsicle lengthwise.
- Melt and color two ounces of white soap for both the strawberry and lime sections of the soapsicles.
- Insert orange soap with stick back into the center of the Popsicle mold.
- Spray the cut sides of the orange soap with alcohol while in the mold.
- Pour melted lime soap into one side of the mold and pour melted strawberry soap into the other side of the mold.
- Put soapsicles into the freezer for 30 minutes and release.

Where did you get the molds from? SO others can buy them as well
Since I found this recipe on DIY's website, I have not made them myself. I looked at the guest's website www.soaplove.com and all she sells is the soaps she makes not the molds.
You may have to do a search on the internet for popsicle molds. So, I would say that you may want to check Tupperware or any online site that kitchen items.
If I find any sites, I will let you know.
Another suggestion is to try Ebay.

I saw on a show on the Food Network about a treats convention in Las Vegas. And they did a segment on silicone ice cream molds. It is coldmolds.com. The actual page is http://www.coldmolds.com/popmolds.htm.
Take a look. Silicone is very easy in releasing glycerin soap.
I just found out that Wholesales Supplies Plus (www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com) will be selling the popsicle molds.
Here is the link from their blog on the announcement:

I just wanted to share my experience with this recipe.
I had purchased a popsicle mold from Bed Bath and Beyond for only $2.99. I was abit nervous that my soap would not come out. So, I only filled one just in case I had to break away the mold. But it did work with out any cooking spray. Although, I had wait awhile and even put it in the freezer just in case. But after wiggling it, the soap eventually came out without breaking.
