Instructions in 6 steps Bring spring into your bathroom. If you cast in the label, the heralds of spring will move into your bathroom. To give away or keep for yourself.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: stove, heat-resistant vessel for the water bath, cooking pot, spoon, cellophane wrap or cling film

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Melt the soap in a heat-resistant vessel intended for water bath on the stove (at max. 60°C - do not boil).

Caution: Never place the melting pot with soap directly on an open flame or a hot stovetop! Risk of fire! Do not expose the melted soap to a temperature above 60°C for a long time.

Step 2

After melting, add the soap colour and the soap-scented oil.

Step 3

To cast the motif, put the label inside the casting mould before pouring. Pay attention when inserting the motif that the writing remains visible.

Step 4

Then pour the liquid soap slowly over the label with a spoon to cover it entirely with a thin layer. Only then fill up slowly the rest of the mould with the remaining liquid soap.

Step 5

Then allow the soap to dry out in the casting mould for at least 2-3 hours. When the soap has hardened, you can demould it and take out the label by means of a thin needle. Clean the label and the soap casting mould with water for further use.

Important: wrap the soap in foil immediately after demoulding.
