Anne-Marie Makes Terrarium Soap - Advanced Melt and Pour Technique | Bramble Berry

These Terrarium Soaps are created by embedding succulent soap into clear melt and pour soap. They are perfect for any plant-lover! They are an intermediate project - we recommend getting a few batches of melt and pour soap under your belt before creating these bars. They require a good understanding of temperature, and a little patience.
🌿 Find this project here: bberry.studio/TerrariumSoap
The bars are scented with Lush Succulent Fragrance Oil which is a fresh blend of cucumber, bamboo, oakmoss, and sandalwood. It's the perfect fragrance for this project. Not only does it complement the green design, Lush Succulent Fragrance Oil does not discolor. The fragrance oil itself is also clear, which is important for keeping the base as clear as possible.
🌿 Lush Succulent Fragrance Oil: bberry.studio/LushSucculentFO
Have fun when creating your succulent embeds. You can use an opaque base (such at white or goat milk), or a clear base (such as clear or aloe) for a more saturated color. This project comes with three shades of green Color Blocks so you can create custom blends, make more than one color per batch, or create a multi-colored succulent.
🌿 Kelly Green Color Block: bberry.studio/KellyGreenColor...
It's important to keep an eye on temperature when creating this soap. We recommend melting the clear soap to about 140-150 degrees F initially, to allow bubbles to rise to the top. This helps the base to be as clear as possible. Then, it's important to allow the clear soap to cool to about 125-130 degrees F before pouring. If the clear soap is poured too hot, it can melt the succulent soap.
🌿 Terrarium Soap Recipe:
Embeds:
Succulent Silicone Mold
6 oz. Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap (or Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base, depending on preference)

I'd love to see this as a round soap

[@SabrinaRina]

My exact thought! I wanted to know if the half sphere mold could fit the succulent diameter.

[@Yopchagee]

I really appreciate that you leave things in like when the soap got too cool, so we can learn how to fix these kinds of issues, and to see that it works so well! Thank you!! :D

[@Mistellesonn]

This would look so cute in so many different soap shapes! In flat discs, or in domes... anything really!

[@bramble-berry]

Absolutely! So many cute possibilities.

[@Beanmachine91]

super artistic! its like epoxy resin art

[@ajithkumar-jk1ne]

Lovely soaps..... You are my inspiration to do things creatively! And I love the varieties of fragrance you work with.

[@seleniacarrico1231]

I absolutely love your videos your energy and excitement makes me smile. I learned how to make lotion by watching your videos. I wish I lived close so I could take classes from you. Merry Christmas to you and your Brambleberry Family! 😊

[@Rumpelstiltskinsdaughter]

I’m super excited about this ! Once I get my Christmas soaps done, I will be doing this in January.

[@laurieguzman5577]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Love new ideas!

[@pattygailcreations3772]

Love to see you doing M&P again! Very nice.

[@annerawls2065]

Another excellent video. Like that there are multiple uses for the succulent mold - soap, candles, shampoo bar, bath / shower bombs. Thank you for providing such great instructions.

[@pattigleichauf3035]

My succulent mold arrived yesterday! Made 2 practice soaps yesterday and will make more today. The first 2 are so cute. The video on succulent soy candles will be the next project. My 2 daughters will love the soap and candles. Thanks Anne-Marie and Bramble Berry!

Beautiful soap! I love the "bloopers" at the end 😆

[@EM-vr8ip]

Anne-Marie, thank you so much for sharing this information with us. I’m new to M&P soap making so I’m thinking I will try a white melt and pour soap base to make the succulent and a clear one like glycerin clear melt and pour soap base. I can’t wait to try it. I know it says it’s an advanced method but I’m willing to try and see what happens. 😂 I love all your videos. Thanks again! Now off to buy the second mold. Yay!

[@bramble-berry]

Good luck!

[@hishama8997]

[@11aparnakumari]

Please please please make more videos more frequently. I am always waiting for your new videos 💝

[@ehaworth9]

I love your channel and thanks for inspiring me to make embedded soaps. Although I use rubbing alcohol as directed I still get some bubbles during the setting process. Do you have any tips or advice on what I can do to avoid this happening?

[@hopethomas1394]

These are so beautiful! I'm definitely going to try this! Wish me luck🤞

[@jjrondonSuarez]

Hi Hope, 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.

[@hopethomas1394]

@@jjrondonSuarez I think its probably evenly split. I believe most sellers started as just for themselves or a hobby and realized they could possibly earn a little stash cash.😃 That's how it is for me at least.

[@jjrondonSuarez]

@@hopethomas1394 Hi Hope, Thanks for your answer., it's not what I expected. Some people told me that it can be hard to make homemade soap, it takes too long, requires too many pots, it's hard dealing with lye, it's a hassle to clean up, it costs too much to get started, something else. What do you think ??

[@hopethomas1394]

@@jjrondonSuarez well I haven't made cold process soaps yet, that's my next adventure😃. I only do melt and pour. I don't find it terribly expensive, I bargain shop since currently I'm not working. I shop several different suppliers. The most expensive would be the moldings but you can find those low cost too. But again for me its a passion that can pay off.

[@jjrondonSuarez]

​@@hopethomas1394 Hi Hope, thanks for sharing your expertise and experiences with me. I wanted to do a 15 minutes Zoom interview and ask you a few more questions related to soap making. I always send those whom I interview a 25 USD Amazon Gift Card when we finish. Please let me know if we can do the interview. All the questions have to do with soap, nothing complicated. Please let me know.

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

I thought she said “wine colored succulent” and was so confused

[@nanishanelli985]

Hell's Kitchen Kritter and Friends no she said “one ☝︎ color succulent”... lol 😂 it does sound like wine 🍷

[@PriyaPans]

Did her pale pastel tips not work?

[@lilyisinretrograde]

Thats what i was wondering

[@Witchslayer007]

🤣🤣She said stop! Go back if you are new to pour and soap. Yes mam 💜 however im still definitely watching.. putting soap base away now lol

[@lolalalo2857]

Totally a Valley Girl!

[@angelapplepie]

I didn't know this was an advanced thing to do lol I've doing this with round molds for a year now

[@coventinasterling]

Does this technique change with a hot or cold process imbed? I've been pouring clear melt and pour with glitter etc on the tops of messy hot process soaps to make them look prettier, and they (usually) stay stuck together lol.

[@CitraHadiani]

Does this soap really good for bathing? Or is it that type of soap that you put in your guest bathroom for decoration?

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

I'm really confused I just watched you elaborately put light accents on that succulent and yet when you pop them out a few hours later I don't see any with accents?!

[@Jaaae00]

It’s a different batch she made ahead of time I think

[@lillianuwanjye6308]

Thanks for sharing your skills. Would you please share the link to the 6 Cavity Half Cylinder Silicone Mold? I can't find them online. Merry Christmas!

[@sarahbearry9491]

I just tried this with apple soaps in the inside. The sides of the apples were sticking out of the clear soap. I'm going to try again!

[@ebmhen]

What size are the soaps? I'd like to try to make them. If and when they come out right, I would like to put them in boxes.

[@NoName-zi9st]

What make is the temperature gun....Ooni or Stanley?

[@Almo0nd]

I have several cured cold process succulent soaps. Could I use those in the same way?

[@simmimon]

I feel like it should work just fine, ive seen people use MP soap with CP soap.

[@Jaaae00]

I ordered everything to make this soap and I made the mistake of only getting one pound. I didn’t even think about it. So I ordered some more so I hope it doesn’t take too long. I already had to wait two weeks and I’m very impatient

[@n_sha6788]

May i ask a question ? Do mo soap also has calculator like cp soap? If i want to do in large scale of mp soap?

[@bramble-berry]

Melt and pour is ready-to-use soap. It just needs to be melted and customized to your preference. We do not have a melt and pour soap lye calculator like cold process, because you do not need to formulate the recipe. But, you can use our Fragrance Calculator to find out how much fragrance to use in your melt and pour recipe! Fragrance Calculator: www.brambleberry.com/calculator?calcType=fragrance

[@n_sha6788]

Tq bramble berry !!! Appreciated ur answer here !! Love from malaysia🤗.

[@alphasia91]

What do you dilute the blue color with?

[@bramble-berry]

We used water to dilute the LabColor.

[@MissWixy]

Can the soap be purchased?

[@andreasoriginals]

No matter how hard I try or how many different ways I try, I cannot get these to stop trapping bubbles in the leaves of the succulents

[@aureliamarin4868]

Buna, te rog mult sa mi spui de unde procuri (firma) Mult Pour transparent atât de clar multumesc. Vizionez din Romania

[@christhomas5341]

Do you make antibacterial soap? And if so could you show us how to make it?

[@lindapindabelinda3570]

Is there any other way to do shipping besides priority? The shipping was more expensive than the item I wanted.

[@jjrondonSuarez]

Hi Linda, 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.

[@vanessagattis3463]

Can you add apple cider vinegar to melt and pour soap

[@Bourgeois1026]

What is the correct temperature for pouring the soap over the succulents?

[@bramble-berry]

It works well when the clear soap is 125-130° F to pour over the succulents, the full recipe is available here: www.brambleberry.com/articles-and-projects/projects/melt-and-pour/terrarium-soap-project/PS000215.html

[@nicolewagner2281]

any chance you can elaborate on the bluing process ?

[@bramble-berry]

We added a little bit of super diluted Brilliant Blue Lab Color to create a clearer looking soap. Bluing changes the tone of the clear melt and pour base from a yellow tone to a more cool blue tone. This creates the effect of a more crystal clear soap base.

[@nicolewagner2281]

@@bramble-berry what did you mix the blue with ? Oil ? Alcohol ? More soap ?

[@annwaters9484]

Where can we get the blueing?

[@gracelebron3536]

I believe it's just blue soap coloring with water. You can most likely get it anywhere they sell melt and pour soap making materials. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@kathrynmoffett4512]

Is it also called aquarium soap? Can you make a video on aquarium soap?

[@bramble-berry]

That's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion!

[@stevesminty]

How to make glycerine Basic soap ?

[@bramble-berry]

We have lots of great recipes on our website for making melt and pour soap. We would suggest taking a look through those to find a recipe you would like to create. www.brambleberry.com/articles-and-projects/projects/melt-and-pour

[@ashleyfunk]

what is the brilliant blue diluted with?! I've tried this method with one drop and it turned the clear very blue

[@bramble-berry]

It's diluted with water. We add few drops of the Brilliant Blue LabColor into a bowl, and pour some water until it looks highly diluted - it's okay to eyeball it, but about 1/3 cup should do the trick! Then add drops of the diluted LabColor until you're happy with the effect. You can always add a little bit more color or water to your dilution as well!

[@verymuchcake6553]

WHY DO YOU HAVE A WOODEN MICROWAVE??

[@faydee6936]

continuously checking the temperature is so extra lol

[@lilyisinretrograde]

It's not extra it's common sense, it's important to check the temperature often because if you're even like a degree off can ruin the correct consistency.

your soap is beautiful but , You talk so quicly that one cant get you . explain the steps clearly plz.
