Melt and Pour Gem Soaps

From David Fisher

Assemble all your ingredients and materials.

For this project I used:

*Basic equipment and a basic understanding of Basic Melt and Pour Soap Making

*Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base

*Colored Mica - I used an Emerald, a Gold and a Copper colored mica - Micas are available at Soap by Star

*Soap Dye - You want to make sure your soap color is clear and not opaque Fragrance, if desired

*A gem-shaped soap mold - The mold I'm using is a Milky Way mold - you can find a similar one at Bramble Berry


Let's Get Started
Prepare the Molds
Weigh the Soap and Melt It
Add the Color and Fragrance
Pour the Soap Into the Molds
Spritz with Alcohol - Let them Cool
Unmold the Soaps
Enjoy Your Soapy Gem Stones
