Using an Impression Mat to Make a Beautiful Soap!

[@melissapeterson4202]

Tammy, that purchase sound at the beginning when you asked how many times in a year you can make a mistake!? ding!😂 I laughed it was perfect timing! But those soaps came out beautiful ❤ so elegant! Thanks for the video!

[@donnagaudette6502]

They are pretty bars.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

haha, right?!?!? I could not have planned that better 😂 thanks, I really love the look of them 💗

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks so much Donna!🤗

Thanks for the tip on getting the 50 50 lye to heat up by adding some liquid. Much easier than using a warm water bath. Looks so pretty

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hi Lynda! you are welcome! I had such a head smack moment a couple of months ago and thought, why did it take me so long to figure this out?!?!?! 😂😂💕

[@sabrinastreet5337]

Oh wow!! Beautiful! I am still in the learning curve of the shrink wrap system,but I have 120 bars I need to wrap for a women's retreat at church, so I will be a pro in no time!!! Thank you sweet friend!!!!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

def a learning curve! Mine were very very wonky when I started - now they are just wonky 😂😂😂

[@dianehedricks7860]

I think they turned out AMAZING❣️

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Pretty soap, Tammy. Like you, I dislike doing the math for cutting odd soaps. I got an expanding sewing gauge from a fabric store. It's for spacing buttons and buttonholes evenly. I think it cost about $9.00. It unfolds in even increments, so I can just mark the cuts at the tips of the gauge. For me, it doesn't really matter how big the bars are because they are all exactly the same size once I measure them out with the sewing gauge.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I am so glad you found a solution! Your sewing gauge sounds like a great hack! Def going to be looking for one soon - thank you so much for your help! 🤗

I love this video! Very interesting about how to warm up 50:50 lye. Everyday is a school day 😀. I’m on the hunt for a good impression mat here in the UK as your soaps look beautiful 💕

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thanks Hilary! 😍yeah that 50:50 lye trick is probably the best idea I have ever had 😂😂 such a time saver🤗

[@MsAubrey]

Those are adorable! ❤ I bought several impression mats. I’ve only used one, once so far. I need to play, but have so much soap right now. 😂

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

LOL - I hear ya! I have more soap than I will ever sell this year but I keep thinking I need to make more! 🤔😆 sadly soap sales ain't what they used to be...🙄

[@MsAubrey]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique this year has been terrible.

[@happybrushchely7170]

❤that is how you use an impression mat❤.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

😀💕 thanks!

[@donnagaudette6502]

I am just looking into making soap and I am enjoying your you tubes. Do you have anything thing for beginners like a book or notes that could be printed?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

No sorry, I don't have anything along those lines. 💕

[@kathygraf5349]

Tammy the soap is really nice. I like the soap. The Rainbow Sherbert lasted a month, so im using your soap instead of mine, haha! Anyway i dont see the link for impression mat. ❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hi Kathy! Thanks for the soap usage info -the second part of that cracked me up 😆 thanks for letting me know I didn't give the link for the mat - here it is: amzn.to/4dMNZaz

[@ridgedalefarmsflock]

what is the size of your sample loaf mold? and where did you find it?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

it is a tall and skinny mini mold. I love it for these types of things. I believe it is about 2 inches wide and 2.75" tall, or something like that. I got if from Micas and More - micasandmore.com/product/s-tsmini/

[@ridgedalefarmsflock]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks!

[@relevant.c5411]

beautiful day is a knock off of same name product at BBW. it smells best in everything but cp soap for me. no idea why. i decided to no longer use it in cp. but yes it is a wonderful scent, and a big favorite. that green mica is gorgeous!!!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks for sharing!! I didn't get to make bath bombs with it but plan to the next time I kill myself over a weekend of bath bomb making 😂
