Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

Just when I thought you had made every conceivable soap, you surprised me with soap on the rope. Fantastic. 😍 😍

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he, I do try to think of different things, sometimes it's really hard :-)

[@KomalD-cb2bu]

@@IDreamInSoap Are you a Gemini hehe just asking you are so creative 😄

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I love this! My husband has been saying for years I need to make this and I just never have gotten around to it. If I do finally make it, I won't tell him you made it so it is cool to do - I'll just let him think it was all his idea!🤣

[@catwoman7462]

I was only thinking the other week how to make soap on a rope! They always seemed to be given as Christmas presents in my childhood.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes, I remember them for Christmas too :-)

[@sharonp3563]

Nice to see your face. As much fun it is to see hands wave around.

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, thank you so much :-)

[@atinemassare]

This was total novelty to me. I'd never heard of such a rope-soap! Marvellous - and I very much appreciated the knot tying tutorial ❤️

[@marridesign4108]

I LOVE that you’re keeping with the macrame theme and knotting with great functional knot. You’re awesome! Totally going with your method. Thank you for doing this. 💚

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️

[@gaynorwilloughby7658]

I remember soap on a rope by Avon pretty peach in the late 60s and 70s, shaped like a peach on a really long rope.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Oh yes!!! I remember that, goodness me the Avon ads they bring back memories

[@avonnehuggins2122]

Absolutely beautiful, soap on a rope brings back warm memories for me❤!

[@beckhill6642]

How very cool! We had soap on a rope when I was a kid! I'd forgotten about that! Lol! We had 3D shaped ones, a green frog and a pink pig! Gosh that brings back memories! A gorgeous soap, love the ombre. And as usual you are a fountain of knowledge. Thank you so very much for sharing! 😊

[@sharonhamilton4328]

Awesome.. I've found floating soap.. now this

[@pamelarayburn1304]

Thank you for all your videos. I have learned so much from watching them. Great job, keep it up.

[@CL-we8tn]

For me personally, I enjoy the interaction (if you can call it that) with a face instead of just a voice. Other people may feel different. The channels I enjoy most are the lives. But there I would suggest if you want to do that, look at some big name live channels, not news. They all have moderators for the chat and interact with their subscribers. The easiest kind of live I've seen is the good old q and a. And now I must hide this video or someone male will be buying... Lol

[@ml3110]

I've been wanting to do this! Your soaps on ropes are beautiful! Thank you for this video. It is so inspiring and full of soap making wisdom. Thanks again, and God bless you! 🙏

You've inspired me to do another gradient pour, that looks so nice.

[@IDreamInSoap]

have fun, I hope it goes well

[@happysoap77]

It is a soap made by hanging a string to make it easier to use. The soap made with gradation feels cool and it's really beautiful!

[@kasie680]

These look fantastic Lis!! I need to make some for my husband, he hates the soggy soap in his work locker, this way he can hang it up!

Hi NaturalM thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊

[@vernaharris181]

I like the rope placement and the color gradient. With soaponarope...I do think you need the wider placement

[@Charcharazard]

Did not expect to learn about the contraversial politics of soap on a rope today!

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he, I think Facebook groups can make almost anything controversial :-)

[@jekaterinasimpkin4416]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your videos, they are really inspiring. I wonder where people buy such handy soap mould? Are they custom made? It is an interesting technique of making sope on robe, unfortunately, there is nothing to tight to in my ordinary moulds.

[@dtulip1]

If you are of a certain age (2nd half of 50s for me) Soap on a Rope was right up there with sliced bread :D

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he, yes you're right. I fit exactly into that age bracket

[@elizabethentwistle4673]

I love this technique, what a great video. Can i ask if you think single or 3-4 strand chord works best. (which stays twisted the best). Would also love to see you do a review of FO in the uk and which work best in CP soap. Thanks again for another very informative video.

[@cathybento]

This look so good - thank you for detailed explanation. I do have a question - do you cover them to avoid soda ash? I'm wondering how to cover my soap with the ropes hanging over the side!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes. I always cover my soap

[@yennytio628]

Your video is really inspired. Can I ask you what kind of/ type of rope that you used?

Can you do this With melt & pour soap?? I’m scared to work with lye!! But I Love the idea of “Soap on a Rope!!” 🤗💓🙌🙌🧼 Yours is So Beautiful!!🙌🙌💓🧼🥰🌿🌿

[@jenniferbarber5815]

Hi, I was also a child in the 70’s and I definitely remember soap on a rope. I too also like to set the rope in the soap rather than drill a hole as I thought the same thing before I even made my first soap on a rope, that the soap would eventually break away from the rope. I saw someone in a video drilling a hole into a melt and pour soap and asked the question, wouldn’t that break off. I was told that the best method to make soap on a rope was with cold process. I said, but you used melt and pour? I didn’t ask anymore questions after that. Anyway, I have a soap on a rope made recently from a melt and pour soap base and am yet to test it out but I do have a cold process soap on a rope that I made last November and it is still on the rope. ☺👍💜🧼

[@IDreamInSoap]

I think whether the soap is melt and pour of cold process can just be a personal preference, but yes, like you i believe the rope should be the last thing left after all the soap has gone

[@shaydelady1508]

Fanfrickentastic! I love, love, love this soap Lisa! Thank you so much for sharing! I always love your ombre soaps! Quick question... do you think that Rum Bay fragrance is a masculine scent or unisex? Someone told me it smelled like a barbershop and it crushed my soul like someone miss stepped during a Mexican Hat Dance.

[@IDreamInSoap]

ooh, I haven't smelt that one, so don't know I'm afraid

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I have used the cotton macrame or the cotton washing line cord. One is my gardeners soap that hangs on the hose bib. The cotton dries nicely and it’s biodegradable. And I have gone completely blank on what the name of your “flat” knot is, I think it’s a kind of reefing knot but don’t remember!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh. I can't remember the name either

[@venezuelarodriguez2523]

greetings from Houston. Your work is amazing. I have a question: how much lye solution can I prepare and how long can I storage it? How and how long can I storage it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Bless you!

[@IDreamInSoap]

You can prepare as much as you like. Your need to keep it sealed in good air tight containers and obviously stored safely and in a cool environment. I tend to make enough for about 1 month's worth of soap making at a time. I put mine in 1 litre bottles so that I'm not letting air into to much lye each time I open the bottle, the other bottles stay sealed until I need them.

[@venezuelarodriguez2523]

@@IDreamInSoap Thanks a lot! XOXO you very nice

[@smithfieldvalleysoaps]

Knot too bad... haha actually thanks for all the info!

[@djanetmahmoudi5346]

Please madam, after adding colors and perfumes in the soap and leaving it to rest for a month or more, does it become toxic and all the additives oxidize?

[@IDreamInSoap]

No not at all, it's lovely soap to use and perfectly safe

[@CL-we8tn]

Isn't it a hitch knot?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh, I have no idea :-)

I had a Jesus rope soap for to ‘wash your sins away’ and I said ‘I’ll need an awful lot of soap for that’ 😂

He, he, that's brilliant

[@AhNee]

I always thought the point of soap on a rope is to go around your neck? Comes in handy in camp showers/baths in creeks/lakes, or...in prison. Then my true crime brain concocts several crimes that can be done with soap on a rope, or accidents.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh goodness me. I didn't know that. I thought it was just so you can hang it up easily

[@AhNee]

@@IDreamInSoap most of what I see now is the shorter loop sort, which again, is handy in the bush for camping, hunting, etc, as it goes around the wrist, and you're less likely to lose it permanently if using in a river or lake, should you drop it.
