How to make Stained Glass Soap
Step 1:
Make a few bars using different translucent colors.
I used the pretty much standard 6 cavity mold, Stephenson clear ST and Zenicolor colorblock system for mine.
Tips:
- Use non-bleeding colors only.
- Make sure you pour to the same height in every mold.
- Let the bars set and cool down really well, preferably overnight at least.
Step 2:
Cut up your colored bars into random shapes.
Step 3:
Fill up your mold with the shapes, leaving space all around and between the pieces.
Step 4:
Fill up the mold using black (or other) colored soap.
I used activated charcoal for mine.
Tips:
- Again, make sure to use a non-bleeding color for this.
- Make sure to fill up the mold to exactly the same height as the colored pieces.
- If after setting the soaps are not exactly flat, or the black overlaps the colors a bit, you can put on gloves and rub the soaps over a wet piece of terrycloth (or other rough cloth) to even them up.
Done!
