    If I am making a batch of soap to later cut up into bars I use one of those tetrapak litre cartons of juice (empty obviously!!) wash it out and dry it well , cut the top bit off then pour the soap in and when its finished just rip it off.

    if you want round soap I have in the past used a section of round drain pipe with an improvised ens bit from cardboard to stop it all spurting out. I do this with the cold process soap but I imagine it would be the same for melt and pour. If it sticks a bit i put it in the freezer for a while then use something round in the end to push it out

    what about hollowing out a large potato/small pumkin into strange and unusual shapes, you could then be quite artistic about it. I myself would be p*nts at this but I am sure I have seen things like this on kids TV shows for playdoh moulds...
