midnightraven3 your jelly babies are sooo cute! Can i ask where did you get the moulds from? Also the straw strings you used for the massage soap bar? Very nice packaging!

I love the lollies! Is there a tutorial/instructions for that? They look beautiful all wrapped up! These will make great Christmas gift! Loving this soap making idea... now i just need to do some research and hopefully i have the skill for this!

the jelly baby molds i got from ebay
there are 2 on one mould and they were around £1 each
(i can go look in a min)

the stuff round the massage bar is rafia
and it was £1 for the biggest bag ever from an art shop
you can get it anywhere

i also bought a tin thing, of gardeners string
its proper old fashioned stuff
from poundland
it also looks great

i just used corrugated card in a strip
but i do cello all my soaps 1st
the jelly babies i use the shrink wrap stuff, and i wondered if the heat would melt them, it doesnt

these are the lollies
and you dont need a mold for these, so these are very cheap to make



for the stick my daughter **cough** borrowed **cough** coffee stirrers from starbucks as her friend works there:o



the loofah soap is done in a pringles tub, so again no mold
and yummy pringles!!



you can use almost anything as a mold
little ice cream tubs?

make a soap trifle



those tiny tubs you get in every plastic box set?
curl some white soap and set in a coloured clear one



you NEED a spray bottle of surgical spirits
but apart from that, you need nothing especially to do these ones

Oh do you have a web site i so need some bits from you fro christmas

the lollies are uber easy and so quick

i made a tray out of tin foil
its just like making a swiss roll

poured in the white spray with surgical spirit to disperse bubble, VVV important
and allowed to almost set (6 mins or so)
scored lightly with a fork (to make the next layer stick)
made the clear layer (coloured and scented etc)
pour, and again spray

leave to set for 8 mins or so, depends on how warm your kitchen is
when tacky, roll like you would a swiss roll and allow to set

do not refrigerate to speed this up, your layers will seperate

when set, slice and insert stick,
your soap is set but not yet solid
allow to dry out over night and bag
