Have just ordered THIS ribbon for my reindeer. Hope it will be ok

Ribbon arrived yesterday which is very nice. Just waiting on the jingle bells, and have to make up the soap and then it's all ready to assemble.

I am actually going on a course on Thursday which teaches all sorts of techniques with the Melt and Pour soaps so hopefully I will be able to make some impressive looking bars/slices/whatever (don't panic Kev- using pre-certified mixes! ) I'm quite excited by that!

The site I found is called Soap Basics and sells a melt and pour base pre-certified for selling. They also supply quite simple instructions. You do need a mould too, though.

Just wanted to let anyone know who is interested that I sell pre-certified bases. Any fragrance/colour/additives you'd like for £5-6 per kilo. Any enquiries by PM please.
