Ingredients
15 ounces of White Soap Base
1 ounce of Clear Soap Base
Liquid Blue Colorant
Heavy Duty Rectangle Mold
1/2 ounceYuzu Fragrance Oil
Water Soluble Paper
Rubbing alcohol
Baseball Clipart (check Flickr or iStock for great images)
All supplies can be purchased from Brambleberry.
Ifyou have never used Water Soluble Paper, check out the Water Soluble Paper Episode on Soap Queen TV to learn the basic technique, tips and tricks.
Directions:
ONE: Print out 4 vintage baseball pictures on water soluble paper. Cut out the images and make sure that they will fit into the cavities of your mold.
TWO: Once your images are cut out, spray them lightly with aerosol hairspray. This trick will help the colors stay vibrant once they are embedded in the soap.
THREE: Melt 1 ounce of clear soap base in a microwave safe container and mix in ½ drop of liquid blue colorant to give the soap a “clear” effect. For more information on the “bluing” technique, see the Embedding episode of Soap Queen TV.
FOUR: When the clear soap cools to about 130 degrees (really hot soap might dissolve the paper), pour 1/8 inch of soap into the mold. As soon as a thin skin forms on the soap, immediately add your picture to the soap, face down. Let the soap layer cool.
FIVE: Melt 14 ounces of white soap base and mix in 1/2 ounce of Yuzu Fragrance Oil. Once the melted soap cools down to 125-130 degrees, spritz the first layer of soap with rubbing alcohol and pour the second layer. Let the soap cool for 4-6 hours and pop it out of the mold.

Love love this project. The baseball soaps looked so cute when we made them and they got a ton of positive compliments at Otion (where we displayed them).
