Apple Brown Sugar Wax Melts

Have you ever heard of wax melts?  Wax melts are scented pieces of wax without a wick.  They can give a slight scent in their hardened form; however, they are designed to be slowly warmed using a tart or wax warmer.  Once warmed, the scent of the wax will fill the room. So check out this project from Wholesale Supplies Plus called Apple Brown Sugar Wax Melts.

Holiday Teardrop CP Soap

Cold process soapmakers:  Here is a really interesting technique for your next batch - Holiday Teardrop.  What is the teardrop technique?  It is layering different colors of soap which forms a teardrop.  This recipe is designed with slow-moving oils to be poured at 90 degrees to keep the batter liquid enough to create the teardrop effect.  Even though colors of green, red and gold goes really great with Wholesale Supplies Plus White Christmas fragrance, I am sure you can change the colors and fragrance to fit any occasion.

Sparkle Star Bubble Wand

When I saw this melt and pour project from Wholesale Supplies Plus called Sparkle Star Bubble Wand thought it would be perfect for a girl's birthday party.  Once made it will create a tubful of bubbles which will make you want to linger a little longer in the tub.  The wands are really easy to use:  Simply run the wand back and forth in the bathwater and watch the bubbles grow.

5 Tips for Unmolding Cold Process Soap

I must admit, I am one of those who has a hard time waiting especially it comes to unmolding a batch of cold process soap.  The mold I have is similiar to the one pictured but it is not surrounded in a wooden frame.  Sometimes, I get anxious to unmold my soap.  The bars in the middle come out fine but the bars in the corners always seem to sick and come out broken. The Soap Queen recently wrote a post called 5 Tips for Unmolding Cold Process Soap that may have some good tips to help me out with this problem.  Hope the information helps you out if you are encountering any problems.

Pretty in Pink: Salty Cold Process

Approximately a year and a half ago,  I saw a recipe a hot process recipe for a peppermint pink Himalayan salt recipe in a magazine called Willow and Sage.  I have not tried to make a batch of that soap yet, but I really want to try.  So if you rather do a cold process version of a Pink Himalayan soap, then check out this recipe from The Soap Queen called Pretty in Pink: Salty Cold Process.  I like the swirl look in this recipe so I am going to have to give it a go.
