Imprinted Soap

According to Kelly Ewing, author of Making Candles and Soaps for Dummies, imprinted soap is simply a bar of soap that you have stamped when wet.

If you like to try to make this bar of soap, the author suggests the following steps:

1. Choose your stamp. Try to choose a stamp that doesn't have alot of intricate detail. At your craft store, look for stamps with sharper edges. Metal stamps work better than others.

2. Melt your soap base.

3. Pour you melted soap. A square or rectangle bar of soap works well for this soap. But Life of the Party, has a hex and circle geo shaped molds that would also work. Try to match your mold size to the approximate sign of your stamp so that the edges are not as visible.

4. Wait for the soap to get and then gently place your stamp in the mold.

5. Let your stamp remain in the mold for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. If you remove your stamp too early, the soap is still liquid and runs back into the spot where your stamp was.

6. Remove your stamp.

7. Gently smooth out any rough edges.

8. Let your soap continue to solidify.

9. Remove your soap from the mold.

10. Wrap your soap in plastic if you're not using it immediately.

This is only one way of making this type of soap. You may find that this process may be called embossed soap and may be done slightly different. Check out HGTV, DIY and other sites and do a search on embossed soaps.
