I've found really cute, small, seasonal silicone molds at Dollar Tree. I like to get them for ice cubes for my labrador 🐶💜

[@ward124124]

You should flip the silicon molds upside down and pop them out, it might save more time❤️❤️

[@justkibby5959]

I don't know why, but I'd like to request a banana soap. The peach embed mold look a lot like bananas and I think a banana cream pie bar would be divine!

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ we did a saponification lab during my first year gen chem lab lol. It didn’t smell good though and didn’t sudz up. We used vegetable oil

[@LbEternity]

I make the melt n pour for myself and family bc I’ve got very sensitive skin and most store bought kinds give me an itchy rash. Having thin sharp nails (even if they’re nubs) sometimes it’s hard not to scratch and I end up with scratches. Unsightly 😒😬. Haven’t had a problem with it at all. I’ve also bought some of her soaps and they’ve been great too. No irritation.

Hi Team Royalty Soaps. As an inexperienced soap maker, I'd like to request a "clean up" video. I'm sure you have some excellent tips and tricks for cleaning up more efficiently. Thanks. :)

[@amberbeltran9450]

I'm so glad you mentioned the re-heating of MP... that's something I learned the hard way when first learning to make my own embeds for my CP soaps. I noticed re-heating my base didn't just affect the quality of my embeds, but it also made the base itself less workable when pouring into intricate embed molds (re-heated base just doesn't behave as well!). So I never never never re-heat my base anymore, but this is GREAT info for those beginning their journey in embed-making! Thanks Katie for such an informative video!!

I have no plans to make soap but I have watched every one of your videos and have been falling asleep to them for like 2 months now. Just such a nice voice to fall asleep to!

[@poppyEars]

Katie! You’re so so so good at teaching your process, I love learning all sorts of useless info and you’re excellent at planning and giving us all the information we could ever possibly need to make it in the soap world. You’d be an excellent teacher!

[@elizabethboll1275]

My cousin buys 2 lbs of melt and pour soap from our local soap shop for $6. It’s made by the soap artist, and she’s really nice

@Royalty Soaps it has taken me 3 tries to watch this video. Not that it’s boring and anything like that. Your channel is just so calming and relaxing to me. Keep making pretty things.

[@samanthadavies544]

Hi Katie. I'm from Shropshire in the UK and I think your channel is fab. I love watching your soap tutorials all the time and you are an amazing person with a great sense of humour. Don't ever change. I've made a few simple soaps myself but you have inspired me to take it to the next level in the new year. Exciting. xxxx

[@CoffeeShan]

I got myself some melt and pour soap bases a while ago to play around on the side but watching all these beatiful soaps being made makes me wish I could do soaps full time :D I make some just to use as gifts and it is enough for now, but man, soap making is an art all in itself. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us.

[@themadzucchini]

I don't make soap, but I have got to respect just how informative this video is. Katie is always so knowledgeable, I love it!

[@milksugarbath]

Your channel is AMAZING!!! Thank you for supporting the soap community like you do!! 🛁💕

[@LaraSchilling]

For the column mould, I like to clip the edges with bulldog clips at the height of the container I'm using which is usually a glass measuring jug, and slide a chopstick through each clip so it stands up in the jug :) I'm not sure whether I learned that one from Soap Queen or figured it out on my own, but it works! I'm guilty of reheating my soap batches. I haven't found the sweating to be over the top (I'm working with a clear SFIC M&P base that sweats), mostly because I'm only doing M&P and not CP/HP, so I have to wrap up my bars as soon as I unmould them. I think I'm doing okay for a beginner!

[@babychim7185]

I went to school for pastry arts and we used a lot of the hard plastic chocolate molds. The rigid nature of the mold is really good for getting air bubbles out when you make little chocolates! I miss doing that 😔

[@PaganAngel07]

I love the Creative Academy videos, seeing the process is fascinating!

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

No-one on KZbin has passion and care for their craft as much as you do, let alone is willing to share their knowledge and teach others about it. It's great to see!! 💙

You have inspired me to start soap making as a hobby. I've been watching your videos for awhile now and am feeling confident enough to start. I've drawn a few designs and will be collecting materials over the summer. My first pour should be in late September. Already supper excited. Also I will definitely tag you on instagram when I post pics of my first batch.

Did you end up making soap?

[@devinjones3129]

1st- THANK YOU for the Royal Creative Academy series!! I’m so excited to make my first batch of soap! 2nd- Thank you for mentioning that this can also be done with CP. Like I said, I’m a total newb, and if I have more batter when I make my first batch of soap than my soap molds can hold, I was planning to pour off the excess into some of the numerous silicone ice cube molds that I have for tiny soaps ... then wondered if they could be used as embeds for a future soap batch instead!

[@emeeeeyy]

Since you have the peach slice molds, my brain instantly thought of Peaches and Cream 😂

After ALL the researching and ALL of the KZbin DIY videos on soaps, you are the ONLY one I have found that has literally explained the soaps in the Melt and Pour methods and which are best for what! Had I found this sooner, I would have purchased more than 1 clear melt and pour soap! lol I will now have a multitude of white! haha That's okay~ I'm sure it will still look okay in the end~ *I hope* lol Thank you SOOOOOO much for your time in making all of these amazing videos and tutorials~ ❤️❤️❤️

For micas I usually disperse it in 91% isopropyl alcohol and add that liquid to the melt and pour. It melds instantly with the MP that way. Waaaaay less mixing so way less bubbles.

[@KingConcoctions]

Katie, just a thought: I don't like to use glycerine soap embeds because I don't like having a huge list of ingredients on my bars, especially if it's craft store melt and pour. That's information I have to track and update my labels. So while it might save time in the crafting, I am not sure if saves time in the labeling department. When you use CP for your embeds, it's the same as your recipe and you wouldn't need to add additional label information. Thanks for all the handy links to the molds!!

[@beansproutmomo]

I've been looking to find ways on how others are doing their themes, so glad I found this video! So informative, so intelligent. One question I do have, if you make the soap molds, like rasberries, peaches etc., can you store them for later use? Or should you make them when your ready to use them? I like being a head of the game so to speak....

[@rhondam883]

I use cold process for all of my embeds...I like it much better than melt and pour...takes longer but no chance of sweat plus if you use the embeds inside the soap, it's easier on your soap cutter when cutting.

[@bubizbubbles8771]

Love your channel. This was such a great tutorial! ❤️

I check out 2nd hand stores in a regular basis for jello molds and ice cube molds! Basically anywhere that sells molds for anything, just check out anything you can repurpose for soap instead of jello or ice cubes...😉😘

Peeling soap off the containers is super satisfying! Also, in regards to dispersing mica into melt-n-pour soap, I tend to mix mine with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol and then pouring that into the soap. It mixes super easy then. :)
