How to pour the beautiful hand soaps in the shape of butterflies and ladybugs

Step 1: Prepare the soap

Start by cutting the transparent soap into small cubes. Chopping up the pieces of soap increases the surface area and makes it easier to melt. It is best to use a special casting soap such as the VBS-Soap, which is ideal for creative projects.

Step 2: Melt the soap

Now place some of the cut soap cubes in a universal melting pot. Heat the soap at a low temperature. Make absolutely sure that the temperature does not exceed 60 °C - check this regularly with a thermometer. Temperatures that are too high can affect the consistency and quality of the soap.

Step 3: Refine the soap

Once the soap has completely melted, you can refine it to your liking. Add a few drops of your favorite fragrance oil and mix in a nourishing skin oil to make the soap extra soothing. Do you want the soap to lather well? Then add some soap lather concentrate.

Step 4: Color the soap

Now it gets colorful! Add soap colour to the liquid soap and stir until the desired color intensity is achieved. Remember: the more drops you use, the more intense and bright the color will be.

Step 5: Pour and leave to harden

Carefully pour the colored soap into a silicone butterfly or ladybug mold. Now it's time to be patient - let the soap harden completely. The Time to dry: may vary depending on the room temperature, so allow plenty of time.

Step 6: Remove the soap from the mold

After hardening, you can carefully remove the soap from the mold. Use gentle pressure to avoid damaging the artwork.

Step 7: Add the final details

To add the finishing touches to your handmade soap, stamp a personal message on the gift tags or label them VBS Gift tags or label them. You can then attach them with a pretty cotton ribbon to VBS Organza bag with a pretty cotton ribbon. This will give your gift a lovely wrapping.
