I came here bc Katie from royalty soaps recommended your channel and honestly that colour mixing process alone was enough to make me watching more videos
Thank you so much!
Her pallet knife is magical. Her wizardry has pulled me in.
Same
You are so thorough, clean and precise I really enjoy watching you work...Awesome soap
Thank you Melanie; I go overboard sometimes, but it's my way. 💕💜💕
Thank you for watching! 💕🌳
Check out my shop www.treemariesoapworks.com/shop/
Two things every soaping video must show...mixing of the lye water in the oils and the cutting of the soap :-) brilliant soap, btw. Love your videos. Thanks!
Thank you! 💜
Mixing your colourants that way looks like a lot of fun. I may just have to try them. Love the silicone impression mat! Beautiful Soap!! ❤️ Jen
It is fun Jen! You should try it ! Thank you so much! 💜
บช
This technique is lovely it reminds me so much of nail stamping 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Teri. Thank you for the inspiration. I made this soap today. Your skills are amazing and perfect! I'll see in 24 hours how mine turns out. I'll be heading over tomorrow to tech #3. thank you.
I'm excited for your journey! Best wishes to you! 😊
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Thank you!
My God dear
No matter how many times I watch the video I love ❤️ to watch it again ❤️
When you take off the yellow mat... PERFECTION!!! 😍
Lol, so satisfying! 😍
You are so talented, your technique beautifully executed.
This soap is so elegant. I can totally make a dress of this colour combination. . Love it
Awesome job explaining! Love the way you mix your colors to assure no blobs or grain.
Thank you; that ultramarine pink is really difficult to mix. That bag method really works great for larger amounts. 💜✨💜
I use these oils for my soap...believe me yoy won't go wrong, and the longer the cure...the better the soap...great job on the soap.
Thank you! Good to know! 😊
WOW someone that actually list a recipe CORRECTLY. Thankyou! I absolutely love that impression mat!
Wow! Thanks! 💜
Madysen Yates try using www. Soapcalc.net and just choose the oils and plug in the percentages and this will calculate the lye and water you need for the recipe. Hope that points you in the right direction. There are also UA-cam videos that can help you use and understand soapcalc. Good luck🥰
That color of blue is amazing on the glass!
I just want to say, I love your channel. Your soap is so aesthetically pleasing.
Your techniques have taught me so much.
I like to listen to what you're doing when I'm in the car. Makes me feel like my drive time isn't such a waste because I'm learning new soaping techniques
I love every part of the process. Normally I look for tools and restoration stuff. But this so good. Thanks
Thank you, so glad you like it! 😊
I was mesmerized!! Beautiful work!! Thx!! 💕💕
Thank you Tonya! 💗
I missed you quietly explaining what's going and the cutting of the bar but still a great video!
I was still learning. I do narrate the videos now. Thank you for your feedback. 💝😊
Thank you for your very easy to follow instructional video. I love the lace design. Im new to soap making, still gathering everything I'll need. Haven't made any yet. This silicone mat is expensive.
I came here coz u r d best
Aww...thanks so much! 😘💕
I waited to see the cutting part 😔
Oh, sorry, I figured everyone would be tired of it by now. 💗
Tree Marie Soapworks NEVER!!! It’s my favorite part!
Tree Marie Soapworks idk how many minutes I watched you mix that purple but I powered through for the cutting!😂
@@Abracadabra1111 Me too! It's like ASMR part it's the best part I powered through thinking it will be worth it I even hit the sub button but then got my heart broken 😫
Ahh this is so satisfactory 😍
You should write a book for people like me. Love your work. Looking into taking a class on soap making. Cant wait.
Thank you! You will love it! 💜
So pretty!
I watch this to sleep because alot of time the bg music is just so relaxing and the video itself is so satisfying
Sweet dreams...💕
Honest question, is the start sims music ??? 😂
I think Sim city
Love the mold , love the mat, love the soap, love your videos!
Wow! Thank you so much! 💕
Absolutely beautiful✨️💐✨️
So perfect, beautifully done.
If I've learned anything thus far the pallet knife is your best friend.😐
Deserves a name if it hasn't gotten one already....
Anyway-
Noted.
End of video reactions
Omg you are a Soap wizard.
You tucked the soap in for bed....
It looked cozier than I do.
And the pallet knife is invaluable I see. What in the world was that green spatula thing?
I'd absolutely not put in all that work but, I'm glad you do. Very nice visuals.
Thanks so much! Lol, I do love the palette knife! The green spatula is just what you said; it is used for squeegeeing off the surface.
Did you add palm oil? Is there a way to safely acquire it? I know the harvest of it is ruining our rainforests :/
All the soap supply companies that I know buy from a certified sustainable supplier who is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. I get mine from Wholesale Supplies Plus.
Stunning beautiful soap. Where did you purchase the impression mat? Thanks for posting your creations.
Very beautiful soap indeed. But there is one question - you added the essential oil before all the NaOH was neutralized by reacting with the oil mixture, won't it affect the quality and aroma of the essential oil ?
That came out so beautiful!! Such a simple design too. I’m amazed at how easily the silicone pad came off (and that it left the soap in tact) I cringed as you started to pull the corner back 😆 thank you for sharing!!
You're welcome, Michelle! It is a fun technique. When I made this, I wanted to make it in all the colors! 💚💛💧🧡💜
@@TreeMarieSoapworks yes! 💟
Wow impressive!!
I really like this one😃
Love your step by step instruction. Really love the way you mix your colors. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much! 💖✨💕
Beautiful
Perfection!
Anyone know why the ultramarine pink is done in a bag? I’m fascinated by watching her add oils to the colourants.
Really really I am speechless I mean I don't know what to say.....I really want to get one piece of this soap. Is it possible I could buy from you?
Thank you! No, not this one, I want to make another batch like this! 💜
@@TreeMarieSoapworks i Will be looking forward to see and buy:)
Where did you get the impression mat? I love it.
omg i love this!!!! I am dying to try to make some soap but i still cant figure out how to make a recipe for a 42 0z mold.
STUNNING!!!!!...Thankyou for sharing...a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much! 💖✨
10:36 what is the name of that kind of spatule or scraper? I cannot find it anywhere yet....
💖💞So beautiful and delightful looking! I love that impression too!💞💖. Never thought of using a baggie for the color. That’s so creative!
Thank you so much! 💜😊
Simply beautiful!
Thank you, Lisa! 😊
I enjoy watching you make these videos. This is a very pretty pattern Too! Thank you for the videos.
Thank you so much! 🌸💕
Very professional clean and clear ..bravo!!
Thank you Krista! 💖
Omg you didn’t cut it! I’m so incomplete.... I wish I were joking..😱😱Is there another video of the cut??? Does anyone know??
Hello. Wondering where you got that green triangle spatula? Thanks!
That was great
I watched 16 freaking minutes for the cutting part lol
I didn't know if you really want to see that every time. I guess you do. 😊
Cutting part it's satisfying!
:( me too
Wonderful
Thank you!
Sheer perfection. Extremely delicate and lovely!
Thank you Renee! 💜 It does have a soft and delicate feeling to it. ✨
I'm a beginner but aspire to this ! Can I ask, you added the lye at different times to different oils. Would the temperature not get too low ? Can you just leave both to get to room temp then add them ? Thanks !
Can I know the ratio for the oil and colors? Is the oil from the recipe or excluded?
I use enough olive oil to dilute the colorant. Others use a 1 to 3 ratio, but I find that much is not needed in most cases. I do use a 1 to 3 rate when I make up my TD mixture. I don't usually use batch oils. It is not enough to worry about. It just adds to the super fat.
Your soap turned your wonderfully Teri!
Thank you Diane! I was not in the contest because Elements is sponsoring it. Good luck; I can't wait to see everybody's! 💜✨💕
Tree Marie Soapworks Hi Teri! I wasn‘t in the contest either since I was for 3 weeks in Thailand with my husband and my two sons. I brought lots of colorful inspirations with me in my mind. I’m looking forward to all soaps of the challenge, too, what I saw in Insta so far looked awesome! Are you working for elements and therefore not allowed to join? Have a great day, Diane
That sounds like a great trip! You have a great eye for color! I can't wait to see what you come up with! Yes, I am making some tutorials and doing some testing for Elements, so I am not allowed to join. No big deal though. Have a great day too Diane! ~Teri 🤗💕
Omg Cocoa Butter in Peebles!!! Where??? 😳.... I struggle so much cutting my block😭
In this video why we multiply by 0.03?
Incredible video, as usual!!! 💜💜💜 Love it so much, thank you for all the work in sharing with us!! Can I make my soaps without the heat pad? Just wait 2 days to unform it works the same?
Yes, of course, you don't have to force gel. I want my soap to go through gel, and I don't like it when it partially gels. When you use less water as I do, it is hard for the soap to complete gel, and that is why I add extra heat to give it a little nudge to finish gelling.
The result is very elegant! Great video
Thank you so much Leanne! 💜
I've been wondering how to create impression mat CP soaps. Thank you so much for showing step by step. Love the clean results. New subbie here!
Thank you so much! 💖 Welcome!
The palette knife blending was nice.
Thank you Kim! I love mixing that way! 🎨💖✨
Where do you get your silicone mats? That looks fun to try! And you are so talented! Every soap is beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much, Miriam! The link is in the bio, but it looks like it is currently unavailable. You can probably find it somewhere else, though.
Hi I just discovered your channel, great to find new soaping channels, fantastic job on this. Great use of the impression mat.
Thank you so much! Welcome to my Channel! 💕✨
where is the music in this video from? 💖
Thank you for the great video. I have 2 questions, please...Why did you put a stick in the fragrance oil when pouring it? Also, why did you put the heating pad on top instead of the bottom? Thank you for your time!!
Thank you! I pour down a stick to prevent the fragrance from dribbling down the side of the bottle. There is a heating pad on the bottom too. Usually slab mold designs have a harder time going through gel.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks That is so cool about the stick with the FO. You know I will be trying it the next time I make soap lol. Thank you for the tip! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
So well done. Beautiful soaps.
Thank you so much! 💕✨💕
Why oh why does my mind refuse to think about working upside down? I've been thinking about this for a while as to how to do it.
Lol, yes, upside down works the best! ✨
Is this texture mat a silicone one? I have tons of texture mats I bought for cakes and never used them
Yes, they are silicone, the same ones used for cake! Just don't use them for food after using them for soap.💖
@@TreeMarieSoapworks thanks Teri. I thought so but wanted to make sure. I so will not use them for food after soap.
What a gorgeous soap!
Thank you! 💜
V,nice 👌👌🌹
Thanks 😊
If I wanted to use sodium lactate, do I have to figure that into my recipe and percentages or can I just use it? I am already discounting 5% for super fat, so I would I calculate that into my lye?
No, that is not figured into the recipe. It is an additive. If you are using soapcalc.net, it is super easy to figure out. It states your amounts in pounds, ounces, and grams. Look at the amount of oils in the pounds column. That is your SL amount in tsp. Most of my recipes are made in the 10 inch mold from BB. I use 33.5 oz of oils. That is 2.094 lbs of oils, so I use 2 tsp of SL.
Hi Marie, your soap is really beautiful ❤. I hope I can make a beautiful soap too because when I tried to make it, my soap froze really quickly after I added the fragnance oil so I couldn't pour it into the mold or form it at all. First, I mixed the oil with lye, and then added the color powder and last I added the fragnance. Was it right or wrong step? I hope you can give an explanation or tips about this case. Thank you (sorry for my bad english) 😊
Sometimes fragrance shocks the batter when added. If the fragrance is known to accelerate, you can dilute it with some batch oils, also your temperatures should all be close to the same so it's not such a shock to the mixture. I soap between the temperatures of 85-95 °F. You can soap cooler than that, but I wouldn't soap warmer. I hope this helps. Your English is fine. 😊🌸💕
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Oh my thank you for replying and also the explanation 😊🙏❤. I will try to make soap tomorrow according to your suggestion. Hope it turns out well!
Uauuuu. I love the way you do your colour. 🙌♥️
Thank you so much! 💜
Great video, I really learned a lot. I loved your very clean step by step instructions.
Love your videos girl
Thank you!
This was very relaxing to watch, I too waited for the cutting LOL this is amazing.
Sorry, I learned my lesson. 🤭💝
@@TreeMarieSoapworks I understand it was still a fun video
Damn impressive. I am mesmerized!
🤭 Thank you!
Exquisite! It sure took a lot of work. May I ask if ultramarines need to be mixed this way, also is castor oil best?
Thank you! Yes, they definitely cause specks. I usually use olive oil, it doesn't really matter.
wow that is so impressive, great job
Thank you so much Mary! 😊🌸💕
Hello! 🔝 vídeo!! Can i ask you where i can find lace matts like yours? Thank you!
Check the description, it's from Amazon.
Tree Marie Soapworks i found it already! Thank you!
Gorgeous and elegant 💝. Thank you for providing the links! Where did you get the wide spatula?
Thank you so much! It is from Bramble Berry, but they don't sell it anymore. Maybe something like this would work. www.amazon.com/Silicone-Squeegees-Countertops-Bathroom-Honla/dp/B06XWY8XYL/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=small+squeegee+silicone&qid=1553443776&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Or get everything on aliexpress.
That's where I get most of my soaping supplies.
Easy peasy for you if you live in states.
Would this one work?
Fityle Flexible Triangle Silicone Spatula, Heat-Resistant Spatula, Non-stick Rubber Spatula for Cake Fondant Baking Tool www.amazon.com/dp/B07LDNY2BB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5Q6RCb5CRNF54
just clarifying, you added the colorants and fragrance to the oils before the lye solution - is there a reason for that?
I don't usually do that, but since I was only using one color, and the ultramarine could use a bit more stick blending. It is notorious for specks. I didn't want to do all that stick blending after the lye solution was added.
I add the fragrance to the oils if I trust it to behave.
Tree Marie Soapworks thanks for the insight! 🙌🏼
Such delicate design and beautiful work the soaps look amazing, you are artist..👌👌😊
Thank you! 😊🎨💕
Beautiful soap
Thank you LeAnne!
Looks really great the video is just really long
just stunning!
Thank you Lori! 💜
Very beautiful, now I know how to use my impression mat
Thank you Tanya! 💖Soon I will be posting a short video of an easy way to cut the mat to the correct size.
Where and what are the little cake blades. I want to buy some for my soaps.
It's called a palette knife. I use it a Iot. I had this one from college. (I was an art major.) I have a link to a similar one in the description.
جيد👍
Very dainty n pretty
Thank you!
Hola...que hermoso te quedó....cuál es la medida de tu molde?
Thank you! 💖 It is 32.5 x23.8 x 6.5 cm.
Yes I do which is why I actively check what i use, none of which has palm oil in it. I find it hidden in food sometimes though.
Hey Hi!! What an amazing video. I loved your work and the cleanliness. Can you please tell me from where did you buy your soap may tray and the green spatula?? Please😊
Hello, thank you so much! I bought the silicone liner and the green spatula from Bramble Berry. But I believe the spatula is discontinued. Here is the link to the mold liner: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/molds/silicone/silicone-liner-for-18-bar-mold/V000706.html#q=18&lang=default&start=1
Great video.
I subscribed, as I love watching creative people.
I can’t not mention that Pam Oil, affects our environment, tho.
Have you found a substitute?
Thank you Ritchie! This Palm Oil is certified sustainable and responsible sourced from only members of the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil. I don't use it in all my recipes. I will be experimenting with substitutes. 😊
I love this technique but I gave a thumbs down because no voiceover. I come to also hear your soothing voice, T.
Is there somewhere I can download the whole recipe from. I know this is advanced.i am just starting out on my soap making journey. Is there a base recipe which makes a rich and well lathered soap that I can use whilst I experiment with colours and fragrances? Not too many different oils and ingredients? I would really appreciate your help.
I do freelance work for Elements Bath and Body. There is a Basic Cold Process tutorial and recipe there. It's a lovely bar. The tutorial is step by step with photos. This may help you. 💕 www.elementsbathandbody.com/Soap/
Why did you poor at so light trace?
