Making Unicorn ears and horn with soap dough - A behind the scenes look at embeds | Soy and Shea

A patron has set me the challenge of making a unicorn soap but I couldn't find a mould I liked for the ears and horn so I pulled the soap dough out and discovered how easy they are to make.

Thanks for the tip with using the cutter over the glad wrap!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching 🧡

[@bigshedsoap747]

Those ears are just adorable 🧡💛

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄

[@tanyabonnett4174]

I used to do this with gumpaste and fondant for cupcakes. In some ways soap dough and gumpaste or fondant are very similar. Great job Keeley

[@SoyandShea]

That's true as well as polymer clay.

[@tanyabonnett4174]

@@SoyandShea I've never used Polymer Clay as of yet

[@cheryl739]

Well done video! You would make a wonderful instructor. Love the gold dust. Makes them more magical!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄 I love that I can share

[@brandypayne8781]

🦄 Such a cuteness design! A very good 3D design. I have the mini silicone molds but they don’t have that complete all the way around design. Love it! 🦄

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄 I think that's what I didn't really like about the moulds. I wanted that 3D effect

[@loriewilson7369]

The ears are so cute

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

Brilliant!!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄

[@LadyGecko]

So cute.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄

[@lianne2830]

those are really cute! My mind went into overdrive watching this, the "ears" could easily be turned into flower petals and succulents and the horns into spiral sea shells!

[@SoyandShea]

The possibilities are endless 😁 you could use different shapped hearts to do all sorts of flowers

[@darkmoonesscentuals2]

Love these! Very cute!

[@SoyandShea]

Great job! I am always intimidated to try soap dough. But you made it look so easy. 🥰

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🌻 honestly it easy. Just like playing with play dough or clay

[@soapsforlove4168]

I haven't done the unicorn yet, these are super cute.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄 I'm not a fan of unicorns but I always seem to be asked to make them 😆

[@Farenfran]

What an imagination!! They are adorable! 🤗You are so talented! Thank you for sharing!😀

[@SoyandShea]

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🦄 they really are super easy!

[@stephanietang3716]

I finally made my first batch of sough dough! Today is the 2nd day after it was made, but the dough is still tacky. It sticks to my gloves when I knead it. Is there any way to fix it? Or the texture will be better if i wrap it in cling wrap, and cure for few weeks? Thanks!!!

[@SoyandShea]

When I make soap dough, I usually wrap and wait at least 4-5 days before using. If its still sticky, I leave on the side unwrapped and check each day. I don't usually use gloves as I find they cause issues.
