Just a little FYI that works for me is to mix my mica in a shot glass with a couple sprays of alcohol and it mixes very well and the alcohol will disapate and it mixes in with your melted soap amazingly. No clumps or loose powder that wont mix in it works great. Give it a try.
I tried this and it was awesome..I did a red top and candy cane fragrance so I didn't copy you fully. Just did the technique and I am so happy. I enjoy watching and learning from you tutorials. Thank you so much
🎄🎄Just so creative and adorable!! I love that fragrance and the holiday designs are so beautiful!! I use my colors ya and mix them in a tiny bit of alcohol first then pour it into my melt and pour. I seen it a while back and tried it and I believe it makes it easier to incorporate! This turned out so beautifully and such cuteness!
Hi Wholesome, I'm doing some research about soap making, and I was wondering if people learn how to make soap to make it for themselves or to sell the soap. What's your opinion on that ?? Thanks.
I just seek this. I'm trying to make soap and I've definitely messed up then because I didnt know if it was bubbling or smoking that it's no good. Lol so thank you !!
Great question I’ve got the same problem also I think temperature is the key Possibly 100 spray RA then pour second layer I’ve failed at this many times so good luck I’ll keep trying also 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇺🇸
Beautiful wear did you get the plastic jars that you can put in the microwave and is that so the same as cocoa butter or Shea butter melt to pour soap I’m thinking it’s better to use the clear soap, then white soap right? Because it don’t looks like you’re rushing to pour your soul. The white soap look like you have to hurry up and pour it. I don’t know I’m just learning.
I ran across this video again. Looks like I already made a comment. So I'll just explain. The reason why wire will break cutting melt and pour is because wire has a rough texture that creates friction. The friction will become greater than the strength of the wire and could break it. To over come that many use a thicker wire. Me personally I went the other route. A thinner "wire" that is smooth to create less friction will not break. In fact, what I use is not wire at all. Its 30lb (anything less will not work) fishing line which is very smooth and it doesn't leave any stretch marks on the soap. Just thought I'd put my two cents worth in. Its never broke and if it does I have an entire roll that will last the rest of my life. If anyone would like to make their own, check out my vids (I don't make any money off ads) and you can see how I did it to come up with your own version. Additionally, the cutter used here is very nice though so not take take away from any ones hard work.
Artiefrog have you watched Tree Marie, Soy and Shea, Royalty Soaps & Bramble berry videos, they are also some of the informative soap making video out there.
Your pours are mesmerizing! I was into it, I was so happy when I seen the purple layer 😍 Off topic, your skin is gorgeous! Wow! Your facial skin is luminous. The first layer I bounced my eyes back and forth the soap and your skin. 😍
Just found your channel and subscribed. Like how you use ordinary items for making your soap (plastic spoon & fork 😃👍🏼). Love that soap! Please, Please tell me how do you keep your melted soap melted? Mine usually starts to set up and I have to reheat. Thanks.
Hi JoAnn, thank you so much for watching and thank you for subscribing. I think you need to heat your soap up a little more if it is setting up while you pour. Also, I melt the layers seperately, I melt it down right before pouring to the next layer.
Love the video! Can you manipulate the top layer like you can in cold process soap? Can you also add extra soap figurines in the layers (for ex. Mermaid tales etc.)? TIA!
as a beginner melt and pour soap bars, i made some earlier this week and as soon as i took it out of the microwave it started to set, but managed to get it melted and add the color/fragrance into the mold.. turned out well but im still trying to figure out the time measurements
I just wanted to let you know that you can make it an entire slab and not have to use two or three different molds. Then you can use a log splitter. The log splitter has to be designed a certain way though. But yes log splitters will cut melt n pour if the design is changed.
Yes, it could have been due to pouring too cold. Also, if you use two different soap bases they can have a hard time bonding. Use rubbing alcohol before pouring a layer to help with adhesion as well.
I'm going to look for this fragrance that sounds wonderful. But I'm curious. I see you don't wear a glove and I'm wondering if you're leaving fingerprints behind on your soap.
Use a small cup add about 1/2 teaspoon of alcohol to it then add mica and mix it and pour into soap base. I assume these will be given to family and friends since you didn’t use gloves while touching these bars.
selenia carrico the mica dispersed perfectly, do you feel it is necessary to waste time blending Mica's even thought her soap was beautifully successful?
Is there anything I can add to my melt and pour base to make it last longer? I was reading that adding two teaspoons of salt per pound helps the soap last longer. Have you tried it before?
So I made my own soap this past weekend and they turned out beautiful but the natural smell of the soap is more over powering than the fragrance oil. Is there a way to smell more of the fragrance oil then the soap smell? Sure Maybe change soaps? I used honey soap and shea butter soap.
Hi, is there a difference in cutting a loaf from a cold process and a loaf from a melt and pour? Is the loaf harder after 12 hours than a cold process loaf?

that's how I do it too. then I dont have mica bursts in my set soap
I saw that the other day and I wondered how well it worked.
yes and it drains it out of the glass nothign to clean otu later or very tiny amnt. I do this with bath bombs , bubble bars, shower steamers and soaps
Great tip.😊👍

PrincessDy thank you! My living space and work space are very connected, lol!

This turned out so beautifully and such cuteness!
thank you! Yes, mixing the mica in a bit of alcohol first does help to distribute the mica better.
Kind of reminds me of a Mardi Gras themed soap!
Thanks. I’m a beginning soap maker with melt and pour soap.
Great video. Thanks 🙏🏾

Hi Wholesome, I'm doing some research about soap making, and I was wondering if people learn how to make soap to make it for themselves or to sell the soap. What's your opinion on that ?? Thanks.

Great job I enjoyed this so much thank you.
Thanks so much
This really helps
Malayah Byrd thank you for watching!
Did you only add fragrance to the first two layers only?
God bless you very nice ilove it❤️❤️💓💓
this is lovely
I just seek this. I'm trying to make soap and I've definitely messed up then because I didnt know if it was bubbling or smoking that it's no good. Lol so thank you !!
can you liquid color instead of mica powder thanks
Are your cups microwave safe, also what brand are they?
How do you get the layers to not separate after cutting? I'll have like 1 bar when I swirl that will separate from the other color... like snap off.
Great question I’ve got the same problem also
I think temperature is the key
Possibly 100 spray RA then pour second layer I’ve failed at this many times so good luck I’ll keep trying also
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇺🇸

I love silver, purple, and blue for the holiday. Scents are pine and berries

How much time was it between pouring layers pls
Should we use the 5lb soap mold
What size are these molds?
where do you get your measuring plastic cups..i like those
How much fragrance oil did you use per pound?
When you cut the first piece of soap and showed it to the camera, I so badly wanted to sniff it 🤭😊 So beautiful!
Please tell me the name of the cutter mine is awful and ruining my soap thanks
But how long do the soaps need to set before the next layer???
How do you know there a non bleeding colorant. Love the soap
In the description of the colorant on their website it should say if it is. Also most mica colorants don't bleed. It is the lab colors that bleed.
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company thank you. I’m just starting out doing lots of reading and watching videos. Yours are some of my favorite thank you
Artiefrog have you watched Tree Marie, Soy and Shea, Royalty Soaps & Bramble berry videos, they are also some of the informative soap making video out there.
Nice soap is there a way you could do
Green, Red, Silver and Gold with Pine Scent maybe in beds White? Just wondering.
Hello ! How long did you wait before pouring each layer ?
I was thinking the same
Can u add anything to this soap! Like coconut oil or castor oil????
Your pours are mesmerizing! I was into it, I was so happy when I seen the purple layer 😍
Off topic, your skin is gorgeous! Wow! Your facial skin is luminous. The first layer I bounced my eyes back and forth the soap and your skin. 😍
lol, thank you so much! I always think I look so pasty under those lights
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company
No! You have a glow-y look 😍
could you share where you got the cutter from please? I apologize if someone already asked in the thread....
Have you tried the vanilla color stabilizer? I have great luck with it in my M&P soaps.
I have tried it, yes it does work good in mp soaps!
Janette Nassaney nice
How much Fragrance oil did you use?
Just found your channel and subscribed. Like how you use ordinary items for making your soap (plastic spoon & fork 😃👍🏼). Love that soap! Please, Please tell me how do you keep your melted soap melted? Mine usually starts to set up and I have to reheat. Thanks.

Sunshine Soap and Candle Company , Thank you so much for responding.
Love your soap can you please tall me how many pounds of soap did you use all together
5 lbs
What can i substitute rubbing alcohol with?
Love the video! Can you manipulate the top layer like you can in cold process soap? Can you also add extra soap figurines in the layers (for ex. Mermaid tales etc.)? TIA!
Could you advise me if my soap separates on each layer after drying out 😬😓 would you have any advice? Your video is amazing 👏
Mine did too! Wondering why........
i do layers and in middle layer dont stack together, what im do wrong?
Can you do a melt and pour soap with additives like water based extracts and essential oils?
as a beginner melt and pour soap bars, i made some earlier this week and as soon as i took it out of the microwave it started to set, but managed to get it melted and add the color/fragrance into the mold.. turned out well but im still trying to figure out the time measurements
How do you know the amount of soap base you need to fit your mold?
I just wanted to let you know that you can make it an entire slab and not have to use two or three different molds. Then you can use a log splitter. The log splitter has to be designed a certain way though. But yes log splitters will cut melt n pour if the design is changed.
Where did you purchase your moulds? Love the size!
Does anyone know where she got the cutter please?
Do you still need one?
So does every layer have the fragrance or just one or two? and the soap is pretty came out nice. Is the Mica safe for your skin?
Where did you buy your mold from withe box and what size is it thanks
How do I decipher which mica powders will bleed?
Hi there, micas don't bleed. It is the lab or liquid colors that do that.
COOL
My MP didn’t fall through but separated in half after it cured!??? Why? Did I wait to long to pour my 2nd layer?
Yes, it could have been due to pouring too cold. Also, if you use two different soap bases they can have a hard time bonding. Use rubbing alcohol before pouring a layer to help with adhesion as well.
Jillian Shuler I’ve also found when cutting light hatch signs between each layer, I have better adhesion.
Can we add essential oils and oils such as coconut oil and vegetable glycerine to this base ?
Where can I get the 5lb blocks w/the silicone in it?
I got the mold and liner from bramble berry
Can you please share where your loaf molds and cutter is from please!? Love your channel!! Thank you
Hello, thank you! The link to the cutter is in the description box and the molds are from bramble berry. 😊
Can you use goats milk m&p base, of course different colors?
That looks just like my cutter, but I'm not sure if it's for melt and pour too; probably need a thicker wire.
I'm going to look for this fragrance that sounds wonderful. But I'm curious. I see you don't wear a glove and I'm wondering if you're leaving fingerprints behind on your soap.
I wondered that too. It seems like they always run their fingers all over the soap after they cut when they hold it up to the camera. It's cringey.
Where did you buy your melt and pour cutter
Internet site to order the mold ?
Use a small cup add about 1/2 teaspoon of alcohol to it then add mica and mix it and pour into soap base. I assume these will be given to family and friends since you didn’t use gloves while touching these bars.
selenia carrico the mica dispersed perfectly, do you feel it is necessary to waste time blending Mica's even thought her soap was beautifully successful?
Is that wax, or parchment paper that you used underneath while chopping?
High standards it’s a piece of paper towel
High Standards., parchment paper will also do.
Hello - and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Would you mind sharing where you purchased your Soap Cutter? Thanks
DAVON BRAMWELL yes the link to the Etsy shop where I purchased it is in the description box.
Is there anything I can add to my melt and pour base to make it last
longer? I was reading that adding two teaspoons of salt per pound helps the soap
last longer. Have you tried it before?
So I made my own soap this past weekend and they turned out beautiful but the natural smell of the soap is more over powering than the fragrance oil. Is there a way to smell more of the fragrance oil then the soap smell? Sure Maybe change soaps? I used honey soap and shea butter soap.
Hi, is there a difference in cutting a loaf from a cold process and a loaf from a melt and pour? Is the loaf harder after 12 hours than a cold process loaf?
Haleemah Abdul-Muhaymin yes melt and pour soap is much harder and can’t be cut using a cutter made for cold process soap
Fishing line will cut clean through melt and pour and glycerin soap. Doesn't even leave a scratch.
What r u looking for when u check the soap
