i just made my first divider. i'm so excited! but, omg, never have i watched a video so intently and for so long. wow. i'm exhausted. i need a drink!
Being an industrial electrician switching shifts sometimes I lay awake at night - and being an industrial electrician, most times I get harassed a little (in a joking way) from the other guys that I am trying to learn how to make soap! It seems to be less of a male (biker male...) hobby but I love it none the less and last night when I couldn't sleep I got up at 11:30 pm (no I didn't see santa anywhere either!) and made my first batch of soap ever!! It smells Way better than it looks!! I made Coffee Scrub Soap from page 99 of Amanda Gail Aaron's book "The Complete Guide to Natural Soap Making" . I did everything as the recipe, except changed essential oils and increased essential oils to 1oz per pound. I Love It! :) I made some mistakes. (1) I didn't realize I had (4) sections, (3) dividers, in my loaf mold and only 3 colors... Secondly the trace was too light and the colors just ran together when I pulled out my dividers... and Third, when I pulled out my dividers I paused to let them drop and they came apart and all fell right back I to the mold and some bad words came out! (Lucky Santa wasn't here - it was christmas eve last night) I want to say Thank you to you and to everyone who is freely teaching this hobby. Not sure I fit the soap makers "mold" but I love it and I am grateful to you all!!!
You are a fantastic teacher! Now I have to study this again and again and again 😀
Thank you so much Rosalind! 💖✨💕
Teri I need your help please. I sent you a message via your contact form on your webpage. Thank you in advance @TreeMarieSoapWorks
Thank you for showing us that!
Your a great inspiration to us all and I have you as my top 10 soapers to watch x
Jan 🥰
Thank you Jan!
what a clever design! Thank you for sharing it.
Clear explanation as always. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!💕
I just made this by watching the video step by step. It went rather well! Thank you!
Once again you’ve been so helpful and given us great introduction. Thank you.
Thank you so much Lauren! 💕
Tip to keep glue from drying out. Place some Vaseline around the threads before putting the cap back on. Great vid, btw. Thanks.
You're so talented and such a blessing to all of us.
Thank you so much!
Just like the way you did the division. It made me remember my division of lines in pre-technical skills at high school.
Thank you for that amazing step by step video. How wonderfully informative that was.
Thank you Renee! 💖
So useful, thank yo so much for taking the time to put this together.
You're welcome Lisa! Hope it helps! 💝
Great video, Teri!! What a great way to make reusable dividers that actually stay in place!
Thank you Amy! I made dividers for 4,5,and 7 partitions while I was at it! I can't wait to try them out! 💖
Just watched your video on making dividers. Thank you so much for sharing. Your are such a wonderful teacher.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for saying so!
Thank you for sharing. This is awesome!
This is wonderful,I love this teaching
This is so helpful! Thank you so much. You are a gift to the handmade soap community.
Thank you! 💖✨
Rolling up my sleeves already. Thank you so much!
Great! So glad! 💕
Hi dear

Thank you so much Rawa! 💟
I absolutely love your videos ❤️ Signed up for the soapclubchallenge for your tutorial. Can’t wait to try your technique ❤️
Thank you so much! I am so excited to see your soap!
You are a godsend. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
Thank you! 💖
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Dierdra! 💖✨
Hi Teri, I originally watched this video about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I re-watched it tonight. Although I did not comment on it back then, I was very impressed with your knowledge. You are so smart and so generous with sharing your knowledge. I saved this video to my favorites! I accidentally stumbled upon DIY videos about homemade soap. I find it fascinating! Your videos challenge me, yet give me the confidence to give soap making a try. After carefully studying all of your videos, I finally shelled out the cash to purchase supplies and oil. I made my first batch of soap about three weeks ago. It is Not pretty, but it is soap. I am so excited about trying it out after it fully cures. You are so smart! I enjoy watching you make soap do much. May God bless you much. Victor
Aww...that's so exciting! You will love it! Congrats on taking the plunge and trying it! 😊
Fantastic information clearly presented! Thank you!
Thank you Amy! 💕
Another really useful tutorial, thank you
So glad I found this. This will be a money saver.
Perfect! Thank you!
Great vid Terri! I’m going to try that ❤️
Thank you! So glad! 😊
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thank you! 💕
I was actually thinking about how to do a multi-channeled soap, while on the way home from a friend's house tonight. When I opened up UA-cam, this video was one of the recommended watches :D
Well there you go! I made 3 divisions all the way up to 7. I can't wait to try them out.
Thank you for sharing! This was so easy to follow, and I was able to make my first Taiwan Circling Swirl with it.
Thank you for watching, liking, subscribing, and sharing! 💕🌳

Love this! The Lexan acrylic sheet Amazon link is broken, but I'd love for you to get a cut if I buy through your link!
Very cool! Thank you!
I just bought dividers today!! UGH!! but at least i know how to make more now. Thank you so much!!!!
You are so welcome!

Thank you! 💖
You're so great!! ❤
Aww... thank you, Bruna! 😘
Thankyou for sharing this x
You're welcome! 😊
Thanks for sharing.
I failed making soap yesterday and today
I just understand why thanks to some of your videos
I've bought a electric mixer instead of a blender
I though the lye I bough was some sort of contrefait...but I'm gonna blend my solution before buying some more.
Thanks :) Cheers from Belgium.
I hope you figure it out! Cheers!
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Thanks. Turns out it was not about the type of mixer or blender.
It's the lye who is somehow is fishy and useless.
If you read this message, can you advise me the type of oil who have the most "creamy" potential?
3 years ago I've made 100% olive oil soap for a test. Worked perfectly but I'd like to obtain a creamy/lathery texture when the soap is used.
What is the creamyest additiv oil to oliv oil in your opinion?
Thank you for sharing this....❤❤
You are so welcome! ❤
You are a perfectionist. 🤗🤩
😊💖
Thank you for sharing
Thank you! I’m excited to make your dividers! I’ve been using cardboard but the soap adheres to the cardboard when pulled out, and it has ruined designs 😫
Superb 👌👌👌
Very informative
Thanks a lot I was thinking to use something like that but wasn't sure it could work
How you can try it! 💕
A great video. Thanks for including the list of tools. Is there a step by step tutorial in addition to the video? Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for this! As is the case with all of your videos, I really appreciate your very thorough, and technically complete approach to teaching!!! Question: will E6000 clear glue work with the material you use to construct your dividers? Thank you in advance for your reply... ❤, k
Wow, thank you ever so much..I may ask my hubbs to make me this...keep him out of trouble. hehehe....
Thank you for sharing your information!
Could you pls tell me, where i can get those plastic sheets? The link isnt available and there are a lot of different plastic sheets. İ dont know which one is the best for cutting.
Thank you!
Отличная идея. Лайфхак с пипеткой тоже хорошо.
Great idea. Life hacking with a pipette is also good.
Thank you! 💖
Just what I needed. Thank you so much. If you were diving a square Mold ie the dividers have to go in both directions how would you do that? The long side would have to be lined too but it is how to do the dividers that cross the horizontal ones just created I am not sure about??? Hope that makes sense
I am not sure how you would do that. Usually crossing dividers would be notched on opposites ends and fit together...sounds like a lot of work.
Thanks!!!!!
You're welcome, Angela! 💟
Thank you so much to share your beautiful art!!!!
I’ll like to know what kind of glue did you use for this mold? I suppose is a cement for acrylic right?
I’ll very grateful with your response. Again CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are a great artist!!
Please check the description.💕
Great video. I have a question. Where did you get the plastic sheet for this project? Thanks!
That's my question. Don't buy it off Amazon 😡 I made that mistake and it came rolled up, not flat.
Hi Teri, I’m making this so I can start with the Taiwan swirl technique #3
Perfect! You will love the swirling! Stick blend until an emulsion is reached and then color and fragrance your batter and then stir by hand until trace is almost medium. Make sure your fragrance is slow moving. 💕👍
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Fantastic tip, thank you so much!
Need advice for designing 1.2 kg mold. I have customized my design mold- L (37.11cm) * W (5.50cm)* H (8.50cm) - inch(14.61*2.17*3.35). 12 bars 100gm. Is it correct dimensions. Pls advice. Thanks
Hello Teri,i dont have that glue but i have Elmers and was wondering about a very thin layer of hot glue gun?Did you use these dividers in the Taiwan Swirl Challenge? because i have also seen soaper not use dividers for that but just going with different colours back and forth? thank you Andrea
waouhhh j'adore ta video. excellente. bien expliquée je voudrais faire les "dividers" mais pour un grand moule qui va séparer la pate à savon en savons précoupés '(je ne sais pas si tu vois ce que je veux dire) et je me demandais comment faire. pourrais tu m'aider?
What a great tutorial - thank you! I am wondering if you could make the end pieces a bit higher than the mold, so that you don't need to attach any tape for tabs. In other words, the higher ends would work like tabs. But before I try that, I thought I'd see if there is a reason that wouldn't be practical. Thank you!
It's fine you can definitely do that. Just remember you may want to pour down from the end, so don't make is too high. 💖
Thank you, Teri. I made 2 sets of dividers, one with 2 dividers and one with 3. Your directions were very good and my dividers came out well, but I found the glue problematic since my pipettes will not screw onto the glue tube. What size or type of pipettes do you have? Mine are 3 mI. I cut them at different places along the length. The bulb at the top is too wide, but the rest is too narrow to screw onto the glue tube. Finally, I taped the pipette onto the glue tube nozzle, but the glue just ran out under the tape. In the end, I had to very carefully, hold the glue almost upright and the plexiglass piece at the right angle with my left hand. I know I will have other uses for this glue and would like to find a pipette that will fit onto the tube as you did.
I also use a .03 size of the plastic sheet as the thinner one was out of stock. It seems like a good weight. I made the end pieces a bit higher so I did not need to use tape tabs to pull it out after filling the mold. I would post photos but do not know how to put one on the post here.
I had the same issue. I ended taking a drinking straw cut short and then put the pipette on the end of that. It worked but messy to begin with.
A 3 ml pipette will work. Cut it just above where is flares and apply pressure and screw it on. I use this pipette regularly. 👍
I had a set made by a guy on Etsy a few years ago. I was saddened to see that he is no longer on there. I’ll give these tips a try for creating some for my longer molds.
If you are making them for a long mold, I would use a thicker plastic like .06". You may need to make a jig to keep the rows the proper distance apart.
Tree Marie Soapworks I’m thinking maybe Mylar.
Maybe, you would just have to try it. 😊
Than you for sharing
You're welcome, Melanie! Hope you try it! 😊
How flexible is this polycarbonate sheet? I'm looking for the thickest plastic that I can bend into a 2 5/8" diameter circle.
This .04" thickness is probably too thick. It would snap if you tried to bend it that much.
Nice video
Thank you!
Yayyy
I Love this idea, what type of plastic is this called, and where do you buy this ?? Thankyou for sharing
Thank you Tanya! The details are in the description. 👍💖
Can you show how to use this divider while making soap. Any video that u mist have made using them. I want to know when to take these dividers out while making soap. Please share the link if you have made any video using these dividers
They are not hard to use. I just hold them down for the first part of the pour. They are not easy to clean, but still worth it.

@@TreeMarieSoapworks thank u so much. Was of great help. Lots of blessing to u
This is a LOT of work! Are these single use??
These dividers made from plexiglass are reusable. They can be washed and used multiple times.
There are pros and cons to all dividers. These are what work for me, but you may have a different approach.
I like the thinness of them as opposed to the store bought ones because these displace less batter. Also, these can be pulled out in one piece, where I had problems with other designs collapsing because you have to take them out one piece at a time.
Washing is not the easiest. It's better to scrape off as much batter as possible and wash them as soon as you can.
Hi Terry,
I need your help/input/consultation on making a custom soap divider for a project due 5/17/24. I don’t know how else to reach you. Thanks
What if the oil is not on the calculator?
Please, please do a beginner video or if you have please give link
Amazing! But I think it's pronounced "shay" not chez, for the french meaning of "Helene's Place".
Thank you so much Amy! 😘💗 I will have to apologize to my friend. 🤭💖
Fantas
Chez is French, pronounced ‘shay’ and Hélène probably used ‘Chez Hélène’ as a name after knowing of the song of the same title ☺️ Chez means ‘at home’
I was hoping this would work but the plastic was concave and there’s no way to glue the pieces together - plastic needs to be 100% flat in order for this to have worked for me. Disappointing also that the sheets and glue were on my fixed income a little bit of investment. Oh well nothing tried nothing gained.
I'm sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. I understand your frustration, especially considering the investment involved. The plastic can flex a bit, and gradually pouring the batter into each of the compartments can help mitigate this issue. It's worth noting that because the plastic is thin, it doesn't displace as much soap batter as regular dividers.
Cutting straight lines is crucial for a snug fit.
In the video, I demonstrated a technique using a pipette to extend the glue tube's tip for precise application.
I hope these tips help!
Maybe use plexiglass pieces? I had some cut to fit the top of my molds for soponafocation
All these tools add up to a divider you can buy and guarantee it to actually work lol just buy one...
You forget that makers would rather buy ANYTHING than buy it! (it's also the only way to get dividers to fit a homemade mold)
Thank you!
Thank you! 💝
