Soap moulds?

iwanttosave_2

Right, I am buying a load of melt and pour soap of ebay and picking it up later, still trying to decide on which smell (coconut/strawberry/cherry) just after some moulds now.

Is there anything else I can use as moulds rather than buying some, for basic designs they seem to be about fiver before delivery.

Was thinking maybe youghurt pots? Was also thinking if I could find some small jelly moulds, might work out cheaper.

What do you use? Or know where you can get nice ones cheap

If you got a soap dish the one with the lid use that you can do 2 then...

I was more thinking of making a big one rather than small ones, we all know what a pain in the bum it is trying to use the scraggy ends of a soap bar.


Gonna go have a little looky round the kitchen I remember someone mentioning about the end of a coke bottle to make like a flower shape :think:

Look at individual trifles and cakes in spermarkets, find the one with the fanciest plastic tray, eat the cakes (after paying for them of course :eek:) then you have lovely soap moulds;)

There are loads of things you can use ...... packaging for kids toys ... the plastic bits ...;)

How about those yogurt tubs you get in the shape of lego ... forgot what they are called! But could have lego shaped soap for the kiddies!

Or, one use soap in little kinder egg pots:D mini soaps:j

Or use lids from bottles (vitamin bottles etc) just remember to coat it in vaseline or cling film so you can get it out later:rolleyes: Or even tea-light holders! You can dig little holes in them, make them look like buttons and use a ribbon to lace them all together:D

am I on a roll or what??:rotfl: Or have I falled off the track

oh oh ... them dummy holder cases ..... I've got a few around if you want .... at least I am sure I have:o or baby bottle tops!

Tin foils from tarts mince pies etc. They be pretty good.

I have a set of christmas moulds (supposed to be used for chocolates) but if you have that sort of thing (and I picked mine up really cheaply in woolworths-about 99p), line it with cling film first otherwise might be murder to get out, but they would make pretty and appropriate chrissy gifts. Also have some biscuit moulds which would do the same thing as the chocolate ones are fairly small.

Oooh I have some old baby feeding tubs, in either semi circles, or circles.

I also have ice lolly moulds.
