Instructions in 6 steps You can easily make red and green soap yourself. With matching Christmas labels and a wooden soap dish, this soap duo is perfect for giving away.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Stove, pot, melting pot, scales, small plastic container, craft stick as a stirrer, spoon

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 2

After the complete melting, you can stir the desired colour in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon.

Step 3

For the soaps with motif or logo, place upwards the label with the stamping in the cleaned casting mould.

Step 4

To avoid blistering or slipping of the label, use at best a tablespoon with which you fill the casting mould with the liquid soap.

Step 5

Let the soap dry well out (at least 2-3 hours, ideally one day).

Step 6

Demould the soap by a slight pressure.

Additional info: The soap dries or rather carries on ripening and becomes thereby firmer (two up to three weeks). Depending on the temperature and airiness, the soap can perspire. We recommend therefore to wrap the soap after its demoulding in a cellophane foil. Clean the soap casting mould and the pots with hot water.
