Unicorn soap cold process soap making tutorial. How to make a practical Unicorn soap

This video shows you how to make a Unicorn Cold process soap that is practical, no bits sticking out that will break off when shipping or poke you in the shower and eyes that go all the way through the soap, rather than washing off after a couple of uses.
In this cold process soap making tutorial, I take you step by step through how I made this soap.

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.

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. This is my take on a 'practical unicorn soap' I hope you enjoy the video.

[@chiirichan2847]

This is exactly why I love your soaps! I really appreciate how much thought you put into them and make sure the design doesn‘t vanish after 2 or 3 washes. Plus no „spikey bits“ so your soaps feel great to wash with! :)

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much. I'm so pleased you liked my version :-)

Lisa, you're such an amazing artist! Your creativity and designs are so brilliant ❣ *also, I am obsessed with that song; after watching your videos the song stays in my head, for hours 🤦‍♀️😂

Wow, I'm really impressed! I expected loads of air pockets around the piping, but you made a tidy job of it. Well done, as usual.

Thanks a lot Clare, as long as the batter is pretty fluid it should be fine. I did have a couple of very small ones :-)

[@cheryl739]

Oh my Gosh! Lisa you made so much sense when explaining the negative aspects of 'normally done ' Unicorn soaps. I have never done them because of the dreaded packaging logistics and breakage. You did this one well and they look awesome to boot. Well done on the lasting Unicorn look. Cheers 💕

Looks awesome. Great idea keeping it all in a bar. I agree with you over the things that wash off a soap right away, because after that the soap doesn't have those features anymore. The soap is beautiful. Great video, and I really liked that your music wasn't too loud. 👍

I’m in agreement with your feelings about all the unicorn soaps I’ve seen up to this point. While they are lovely to “look at”, just not so practical to use IMO. So here you’ve won me over, Lisa, to the unicorn soap❣️Yours is just lovely & I’m not thinking some little one will have a boohoo when the horn breaks off. Dreaming in soap never stops for you...🌈

Wow that soap is so cute. Will you ship to the US. We don't need practical right now we need out of the ordinary. Do you not believe in unicorns? lol we don't care if a unicorn doesn't have eyes after a few washings. It's so stinkin cute You said it, I know you've seen real unicorns. You know they have a real forelock and a real horn! lol God gave you a wonderful gift, if I could jump across the pond and give you a big hug. You've made my day..... did I tell you your soap is so cute...and you have the patience of Job. to do all the detail work.God has blessed you.... you've taken it and ran. I love your music

[@emilyfleischmann]

Another lovely video and beautiful soap! As an added bonus to the enjoyment, I learned a new word, too! - forelock!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi again Emily, so pleased you liked them. ooh yes the forelock is the horses equivalent of a fringe as we call them in the UK, or Bangs I think in the US, so I presume it would be the same for a Unicorn

[@emilyfleischmann]

@@IDreamInSoap Yeah, in Canada we use bangs like in the US, but I've lived in the UK and have friends from all over, so hear many different expressions. I was wondering if a third scraper tool could be made for the bottom of the soap to create more shape to the unicorn's head.
