Making solid bubble bars, bubble bath.

[@BlissyAcKc]

I LOVE the integrity you have regarding others intellectual property.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much. Yes I feel that it's so important to respect the work that others do. I know how sad I feel when I see people copying my things and selling them to make money for themselves without putting in the effort

[@aagie9097]

You are a true woman of integrity!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much Aagie, that's very kind of you.

I got some of these for my daughter at Christmas and she loved them. They definitely didn't get used correctly as we don't have a bath, but she had lots of fun with them!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh I'm now intrigued how they were used :-)

[@saneminotaur]

@@IDreamInSoap I think she just held one under the water until it bubbled, then put the suds on a loofah :)

[@LaNuvrisaDelMonteSoapShop]

Oh dear!! 😮 Thank you for the master batch idea!! What a beautiful way to make the process easier!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@AndiNewtonian]

This was really interesting and informative! I like watching whatever you make -- soap, bath bombs, bubble bars, other things that spark your creativity to give you ideas for soap designs. You're one of my favorite parts of the weekend -- eating breakfast and watching one of your videos. And, I'd also like to say THANK YOU for respecting the copyrights of the person you got the recipe from. As a writer, whose income depends on people respecting copyrights, this means a lot at a time I really needed it. Thank you! ♥

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Andi and yes copyright is very important to me, I tend to avoid a lot of Facebook groups and things now as it makes me upset when I see people copying the discs and things I design. So it's easier for me not to look

[@magbr45]

Oh yes, a bath rather than a shower, and with these lovelies it is sheer luxury! I tried to make them once a long time ago and now I will give it another try. Thank you so much for a lovely teaching video, Lisa, yes, I love everything you make🙏❤️

[@IDreamInSoap]

You can do it!

[@beckhill6642]

Really enjoyed watching you making these bubble bars! Would love to see more. I'd never heard of lakes before, learning something new! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@IDreamInSoap]

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

[@clarewhite3004]

Ohhh I'm suddenly feeling motivated to mix up a batch of bath truffles with cocoa butter and something delicious-smelling. It's always a pain to put on the respirator and clean up the surfactant dust afterwards, but it's always worth it! By the way, I get the best results by putting my truffles or bars in a mesh bag and hang it under the faucet so the water runs over it. It maximizes agitation, I guess, and I get the same amount of bubbles using a bit less product.

[@IDreamInSoap]

I love the mesh bag idea and can see it working brilliantly

[@LaNuvrisaDelMonteSoapShop]

Beautiful bubbles!! Thanks for sharing the discussion on lakes vs dyes. It certainly helps to know the difference between the two choices. Another successful tutorial with very helpful tips and sources! I'm always delighted when my bell rings to announce that, "Lisa has uploaded information again!!!"

[@IDreamInSoap]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hadd2019]

Love to see all the different things you make Lucy this one was fun

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much HA DD, that's very kind of you.

[@shaydelady1508]

These are sooooo cute! I absolutely love them!!! I've only made bubble scoops which I love! Bubble bars and bubble scoops, well just bubbles in general are so much fun! Hopefully one day I'll be successful enough to buy a press like the one you have. Thank you so much for sharing your video! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much Shayde Lady, you are so good to always leave comments for me, I really appreciate it 😊

[@aordinarygirl7403]

I just like watching people make stuff lol. So yes! I loved this! ❤

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much AOrdinaryGirl, that's very kind of you.

[@ramonecd]

[@IDreamInSoap]

Aw, thank you so much Christa

[@norawalsh5471]

These are adorable, and I bet make a very nice bath. I'm interested to see whatever you decide to make. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for another great one!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Nora :-)

[@melbrown941]

Calgon in bar form. Totally cool!!! A must try, please let me know when they are on the site :)

[@IDreamInSoap]

HI Mel, thanks so much, they're on the site now :-)

[@luna18midnight]

I wish a had a bathtub to use bath bombs and bubble baths. So many bubbles, looks fun! Thank you for sharing.

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, no, no bath!!! eek

[@nikkilyn]

Just love watching your videos, you explain loads, and you do come up with some fantastic ideas ☺

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much 😊

[@DebsShipley1969]

I used these long before I discovered bath bombs and I LOVE them.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yippee, I love them too

[@loricolwell1470]

Love to see all the things..its all perfection💕💕

[@IDreamInSoap]

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

[@reneehebert6986]

This was fun! I enjoy watching all your creations.

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's so kind of you to say Renee Hebert, thank you so much 😊

[@nancyblake7425]

I am a maker of many things as well 😊 I love to watch your videos and thing a variety of products would be fun!! Have you heard of the wonder bar recipe? I'm curious how close the 2 recipes are. Happy soaping!!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Nancy, I do think I've heard of it, but I've not actually seen the recipe

[@karenMQSoapery]

Interesting I also use all theses ingredients but I also add scs powder to mine too and Lately I’ve been mixing mica with my lake colors to get them to pop better they look very beautiful as always

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh sounds good. I must admit, I tend to stay away from mica in Bath things like bubble bars and Bath bombs as they ca be a bit tricky with sticking to the bath

[@jasperbunny]

Now we know how to use them properly! Your bath bombs bubble bars are lovely! Which shouldn’t come as a Surprise!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh, yes don't just use them like a bath bomb as they just sink like a stone and don't do much

[@kasie680]

Hey Lisa! These look so good! The bubbles are lovely 😊 I’ve tried making a few batches and the bubbles are great at first but don’t last, I’ll have to keep trying them 😊

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Kasie

[@cheryl739]

OOoh, those look like they would make a decadent and comfy bath! Cheers 👍🤗

[@IDreamInSoap]

They are fab. I love them in my bath

[@nancyt4290]

Love your creations whatever it would be.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much 💛

[@lisas.522]

Love the Bubble Bars!

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's so kind of you to say Lisa , thank you so much 😊

[@Dustanne]

I love these, the scent is probably amazing

[@IDreamInSoap]

Sure is! 😀

[@alisonbaker1963]

I would love to watch you making different products.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much. That's great to know

[@JohannaInTheCorner]

I agree, a bath over a shower anytime (in fact I don’t own a shower) Bubbles over bombs EVERYDAY. (Dislike bombs) Most importantly (and I don’t know the real terms.) slippy over sticky. I like my bubble bath not to adhere me to the plastic, but allow me to slide and move! I really appreciate the deviation to bubble bars, it showed me a craft that might be possible in a small space… that said… doesn’t showcase your skills… so don’t stay away from soaping too long. PS your little bars of bulbous 3d clouds… adorable! Perhaps an occasional series in your shapes and uses?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Johanna, ooh no worries, all mainly soap here. I agree with you I really do get bath bombs, I'm always, well, do I put it in before I get in, but then what? do put it in when I'm in there? there's no bubbles, I like bubbles and the way they make the water feel, also I don't like a bath where the water is dyed an often quite strong colour. But I know a lot of people do like them, so maybe I'm (and you too :-) ) a bit odd

[@pamlambert7181]

I make bath bombs and bubble bars and Lisa how do you keep so neat LOL I have mix from here to Timbuktu LOL

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he, ooh it can get a bit messy with bits of powdery stuff, but not too bad

[@roseposton-saynor8238]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you! One question I have is do these have to be shrink wrapped in plastic to keep them from reacting to the air? I'd like to try to make some for myself but want to avoid excess plastic where I can! Thank you for your informative videos

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much, no you don't need to shrink wrap them, but they do need some protection. I don't shrink wrap mine, I use a natureflex bag (compostable, biodegradable) for mine

[@barbara1553]

Thank you Lisa! I enjoy all your videos and explanations! What I would appreciate is some trouble shooting video e.g. how to make nice round bathbombs that don't flatten while drying without a hydraulic press - I use these acrylic "christmas" balls molds :) And regarding soaping - my embeds split from the surrounding soap. I've used extruder discs to make bunny & bear & wolf embeds (used the same recipe for the embeds as for the soap). Soap dough was about 1,5 days old when I made the soap loaf. But it seems that when the soap is in use for some days the embeds either fall out (bear fell out - was appr. 1/3 of the width and height of the soap), or with the bunny the soap splits around some edges. Can embeds be too big? Is the shape important? How to make the embeds stick/combine properly in the soap? I would be happy if you can give some tips please. Thank you! 🤗

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Barbara. I do try to give lots af tips in my videos as I go through any process. I guess I'm just never going to hit on the issues everyone has. Bath bombs that flatten to me would sound like maybe they are a bit too wet. Can you try reducing the amount of water or oil in them. Embeds shouldn't fall out of the soap. The shape shouldn't matter. Maybe you're letting them get too dry before putting them in the soap. If you make them, try to keep them covered until you need them and, if in doubt, spray with a bit of distilled water a few minutes before putting them in

[@hippychic7546]

*** can u tell me where u got your scale please?

[@LadyGecko]

Whatever you want to make is fine with me.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi LadyGecko thank you so much for your feedback and always leaving me comments😊

[@TheBenohio]

I love anything you do That bubble bars were interesting so would bath bombs Since you design a lot of scrappers and extruders and molds it would ba interesting to se just a small part of your design process. You probably don’t want to give too much proprietary information

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much m fer, that's very kind of you.
