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❤️❤️

[@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.

[@KKISCRAZYFUL]

Just the love of a professional soapmaker sharing their secrets so openly and wanting others to succeed as well makes me tear up. It's so beautiful, I feel so welcomed as a new soap maker.

[@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!!

[@ghostjade4378]

I just thought about a Rubik cube soap, that would be so cool!!

[@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

[@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.

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 😔

[@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

[@ChocolateCoveredStar]

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.

[@ebunni5862]

Did you end up making soap?

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~ ❤️❤️❤️

You are so amazing I have watched you for about 10 ish years! Took me to last year to take the leap but you and brambleberry have been my core Teacher

[@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!

[@PaganAngel07]

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

[@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!

[@erikatownsley1647]

All of your videos are so helpful! I have applied a lot of your techniques to my own business, that has nothing to do with soap! I make my own planters out of a cement like product and incorporated the "drop swirl" technique the other day in some new marbled pieces :)

[@cootsdancer89]

Oh my goodness! SOOO informative!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this! It was JUST what I’ve been looking for. :))

[@cryingbroken8824]

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...😉😘

[@amleighhenson]

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.

It could be a complete flop but I'm still gonna try :D

[@landhcreations]

All you have to do with mica color is use a bit of alcohol to mix it first before putting in your soap so it doesnt clump. I heard that liquid dyes tend to bleed more so thats why i dont use them.

[@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!!

[@perfectdoll]

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. :)

[@Jesstabulous]

I don’t even make soap myself but I enjoy learning all about and watching the process!

[@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.

[@Breadgirl92]

This was awesome and informative! When you get back from baby break, can you maybe make a "how to get started" basics video? I really want to start making soap but some of the start up costs seem daunting.

Can you make soap frosting from Melt pour soap?

[@tiffany7023]

Yes you can. Gently melt the soap base, add a little liquid soap. And then with a hand mixer whip it on medium until it just barely peaks. Melt and pour hardens quickly so you'll probably have to work in small batches.

Watching the part with the small pipet really makes me want to recommend a pipet-man and glass (or plastic disposable) serological pipets. I work in a lab and just the thought of hand pipetting that many little cubes make me twinge. The motorize pipets are a little expensive, but I imagine they would be a huge timesaver if you are making lots of smaller embeds.

[@CuriosityRocks]

The unmolding is soooooo satisfying 😁🥰

[@beccacreelable]

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....
