I made an AMAZING Chiffon Rainbow Melt and Pour Soap: How did I do it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- One of my favorite techniques to use in melt & pour soap making is pouring very thin sheets of soap to achieve a variety of looks. How do I make them? How do I use them to get the looks I want? Watch my tutorial to find out the technique I created for making the look of Chiffon fabric in glycerin soap.
Check out the Community Tab on my channel to see a similar look, but aiming for the look of Silk scarves. I may create a tutorial on this; let me know in the comments if that's something you'd like to see!

Boy, I’d NEVER think of this technique! Amazing and creative
Thanks so much! And thank you for watching!
Congrats on becoming a Madmicas affiliate! This technique isn't what I would have guessed, but it looks so fun! So excited for stained glass soap! I don't bevel my soaps. I think beveling looks nicer, but I already spend so long on each soap it feels like too much time
Thank you! It is a lot of fun! I totally get what you mean about spending too much time, LOL! I'm a perfectionist and I have to fight with myself sometimes to let stuff go. I'm so excited about being an affiliate, I honestly love their products, so they are easy to talk about! Thanks again for watching!
I have just come across your videos a few days ago. You are absolutely A-MAZE-ING!!!! Thank you for sharing 🩷
Wow, thank you so much! Thanks for watching! 🥰❤
"slinging soap"!!🤣 Your just too cool!!
Beautifully done!! Just thank you for sharing your technique 💕
LOL, thank you! I never feel "cool"! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Well done. Looks amazing
WOW- thank you SO much! I learned so much watching your tutorials, you are a soap rock star! I love your new endeavors, as well. Thanks for watching.🙂
Amazing! I had no idea what you were doing in the beginning... soap sheets! Congratulations on becoming a mad micas affliate. 😊
Thank you so much! LOL, I knew that might throw some people!
So pretty. I love that it's clear.
Thank you so much! I love the clear soaps, too- my favorite! Thanks for watching. 🥰
This is SO COOL!! I'VE never seen this before!😮
Thank you so much! It's a technique I developed a few years ago and I've made several variations on it because it is super fun! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Just gorgeous! Thanks for not gatekeeping such a beautiful technique! And yes, I bevel my soap. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Happy to help where I can. 🙂
Terry, that is absolutely beautiful, I love it. Thank you for doing this. What a soaper you are and a good instructor. ❤
Thank you so much, Jackie! I'm glad you got something from it, and very grateful for the feedback and love you give to the channel!
@@msTsoap I bevel my soaps most of the time for straight edged soaps. However, I just made one that I want to make drizzle on the top like chocolate and I think it looks better not being beveled.
@@jackiejohnson8445 that's exactly how I felt about my drink soaps- some just don't work as well! Especially anything with a fancy top, imo. 🙂
Thanks so much!!! I am new to soapmaking and your explanation was so wasy to follow! Beautiful soap!
Thank you, what a great compliment! Thanks for watching! 🙂❤
❤❤❤ amazigh! Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique!
You're welcome, and thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Feel free to share your results to my email, or DM through Facebook or Instagram, and I'll share in my Sunday Soap Share (1st Sunday of the month). Thanks for watching! 🥰
@@msTsoap will do 💗💗
This looks so cool! I'll have to give it a shot. I'm a CP person, but sometimes play around with M&P and this looks fun :) Great job! And nice soap guillotine!
Thanks, it was loads of fun! Let me know how it goes. I LOVE my soap guillotine! 🤣
@@msTsoap I would too! I've broken a string on my soap cutter trying to cut m&p with it. Not worth it! Even a mitre box would be better! But love the guillotine 💙
The final product is so pretty!
Thank you so much! 🙂❤
Very cute! New subscriber. I never would have guessed that’s how you achieved this look.
Terry brings soap making to a whole new level!!!
Thanks, Alicia! I really appreciate it! 🙂❤
@@kathyoverstreet7530 wow, you are too kind! Thank you so much! 🙂❤
So clever and gorgeous!!!! 🥰 Saw your soaps in the mad micas group! Thanks for sharing!!! So fun! ❤️
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel! :)
Wow! I'm amazed at how gorgeous your soap turned out! ❤ And no air pockets. I've had trouble with that before. Your ideas are unique and your advice appreciated. I have an Uncle Andy's cutter, too. I needed one to stop getting wonky cuts. Works great and worth the money. Yes, I bevel my soaps, too.
Thank you so much, Kim! I'm so glad you liked the video and the soap. It's one of my favorites. Thank you for watching and for responding to the video discussion. Uncle Andy's is AMAZING! 😍
This is gorgeous!! 😍
Thank you so much!
I’m definitely going to try this technique. It’s very beautiful
I'm so glad you will try it, it's a lot of fun! Thank you so much for watching! 🙂❤
Never seen this technique before. It's a lovely technique. I personally bevel my soap.
Thank you, it's really fun! Thanks for the bevel response, too!
Stunning, just stunning! Ive recently pocked uo the hobby of melt and pour soap and ive been looking for design ideas. I will definitely try this but only have white soap base. It could still look sonewhat cool. Wish me luck! 🤞
That's great! Yes, it can look great with a white base, too. You may want to add a little more mica than I did to the colored sheets, as I added very little to keep them transparent. Check out my Playlist for Beginners, if MP is brand new for you, it can save you some money, time, and grief! 😆I'll wish you good luck, but I don't think you'll need it! It's really not a difficult technique. Have fun and thank you for watching! 🙂❤
I love it 😍🎉
Thank you so much, it's one of my favorite techniques! Sorry for the late reply, been moving to Iowa! 😁🥰
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 🥰❤
Beautiful ! 🎉
Thank you! 😊❤
I do not regularly bevel. So far I've only beveled like a special soap or a gift order.
amazing...i will try that
Thank you! 🥰 I'm so glad you will give it a try- it's a fun technique! If you post in the soap groups, please tag me, if you can! 😁
Omg 😍 these are really beautiful
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching! 🙂❤
These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I plan to try this out! ❤❤
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions. Very excited to see how yours comes out- be sure to share and tag me if you can! 🙂❤
Love the result. ❤❤ I’m looking forward to trying this technique.
Thank you and thanks for watching! Hope to see your version in one of the soap groups! ❤🙂
Great video and technique! ! Learned something new. 😊
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could share something that you didn't know. 🙂❤
This is a beautiful technique I love it.
Thank you so much! It's definitely one of my favorites, and so much fun to do! I hope you'll give it a try! 🥰
@msTsoap yes thank you.
@@tongiabreland1216 fantastic! Have fun! 🥰
❤wow.
Thank you so much! 🙂❤
Such a beautiful soap, I will have to try it soon.
I actually just started beveling the soaps that come out of loaf molds. I started doing it this month 😅
Uncle Andy's is awesome, but yes, super sharp. Learned the hard way when cleaning the blade 😂 18 months later, and my finger still has a scar and can't feel anything with that tip. 😂😂😂
Amazing video, and I'm looking forward to your next one. ❤
Thank you so much- I am so sorry to hear about your finger- I did the same cleaning my blade, but not as badly- I can feel my finger tip!
Yeah, I think I am loving the beveling. I don't do it on the stained glass one, because of the frame, I think it would destroy the look, but I am hooked on that beveled look!
I am so glad you liked it, and please share and tag me when you try it! 🙂❤
I have used a potato peeler for the edges before but I never did it on a slant like you did. Makes your soaps look like luxury bars. What a great idea. Thanks Terry ❤😊
Thanks, and you're welcome! :)
WOW!
Thank you so much! 🙂❤
Stunning! Brilliant!!! I LOVE these! Soooo inspiring!!! Makes me want to play!
Beveling? I love the look depending on the soap, but I'm terrible at it! Please tell us how to do it. Mine are SOOO uneven.
Thank you so much - I hope you DO play!
I can do a tutorial on beveling, it may be a while, but I'll put that on my list! 🙂
@@msTsoap awesome! Thank you!!!💜💜💜
I bevel my soaps and collect the shavings. I then fill soap saver bags and sell them
That's a cool idea! I usually end up putting mine in a confetti soap, but that's a really cool way to make a little extra! Thanks for responding!
Have you seen the double beveler that makes the edges look like a picture frame? I got all excited and ordered one from Etsy because I made a bunch of big, chunky clear soaps, and they really sparkled with just a simple, thick bevel, and I am hoping that the double bevel will reflect even more light into them. I will let you know how it works out! Thanks for the great technique. (I have watched this video numerous times, and have scads of notes and ideas for using this technique!)
Keep up the good work, Terry! You rock!
I haven't seen that yet, but I think I earmarked a video with someone using it- can't wait to hear what you think of it! So glad you are getting a lot out of this video. Soaps sheets have been one of my biggest game changers when it comes to design! I have too many in my head, and too little time, LOL. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Thank you so much for your engagement and support! 🙂❤
Just WOW😂 I am glad that I have found your videos. I am absolutely beginner, making my first soap ever, and your tips and informations will help me to start. If I may ask about: can I add into melt and pour faux silk flowers, also what about dried orange? I try to find info online, but is a lot of completely different opinions. Thank you in advance for your help, and thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge. I am going to watch your other vides (subscribed). Have a nice day 😂
Love these!! Wondering what loaf molds you use? I use the silicone inside of the wooden box and the sides never turn out straight 😢.
Thank you! I've used one like that and, yes, the sides bow out. I found mine on Amazon. It looks like this, but mine is purple and I think a different brand. This looks comparable, but I can't vouch for it. I think Brambleberry makes a similar mold, maybe even WSP. www.amazon.com/Traytastic-Silicone-Loaf-Crafts-Making/dp/B07B5JSQ26/ref=sr_1_4?crid=HOUFPWTSCAGT&keywords=silicone+loaf+molds+for+soap&qid=1681358440&sprefix=silicone+loaf+mold%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-4.
What an awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing! I see you spraying the soap periodically, and wondering what you are spraying it with? I'm a newbie 😀
Thanks
Thank you for watching! That's a great question, and I forgot to mention it in the video. I'm spritzing with Rubbing Alcohol, for various reasons. You can spritz to rid the soap of bubbles before or after you pour, but I think in this case, you were seeing me spritz after the cut, which means I was enhancing the clarity a little for the camera. The camera does not always show the true clarity of a soap, so a little spritz while filming or taking pics helps.
@@msTsoap , thank you!
@@debraamick8097 Anytime! 🙂
Love these soaps and thank you for posting the video. Question, I notice that you keep spritzing with RA, why? I know to do it for bubbles before it hardens but not after. Please explain to this novice soap maker. Thank you.
Great question! It helps the camera to show the clarity- otherwise it doesn't look as nice as in person. Also, I spritzed to help ease the soap out of the mold- a good trick if it's a little stuck.
If you use the liquid blue soap dye, will it bleed into the other colors that are colored with the mica colorants?
Btw, I LOVE your soaps. Just wish I had space in this Apt to make soap. I live with a pack rat who won't make space for me 😢
Oh, no- that's sad! Hope that situation resolves for you and you get to return to making soap. That's a GREAT question- the amount of dye to balance a little yellow isn't enough to show if it bleeds. You really want to use the tiniest amount to start, sometimes I dip the very end of a toothpick and touch it down in the soap, because you don't want the soap to look blue, just to balance it. I've never had one turn any embeds blue. Thanks for watching! 🙂❤
Terry they are so pretty how do you wrap those?
Thank you! Since I ended up cutting off the tops (giving it a "haircut" LOL) they were just bars and pretty easy to wrap with cling wrap. If I had left the floofies on top, I probably would have wrapped them in cling wrap, being gentle across the top, and then maybe very lightly hit the top with a short burst of the heat gun. Risky, I know. I've wrapped soaps with some fairly decorated tops- my drink soaps were the worst- but I just pulled the wrap as tight as I could while still being careful. I also made sure to spray them a few times with RA and let them dry out a little. Being in Florida, I have to wrap as air tight as possible and allowing them to dry out in front of a fan really helps. Great question! 🙂😘
Terry, I know you use lots of Crystal Clear base. I'm struggling to find a FO (vanillin-free, of course) that doesn't significantly cloud up the clear base, even with a tiny drop of blue lab dye. Are there any FO's you've found that work best? Feel free to PM me.
I did answer this in a PM, right? Just making sure. If I didn't, please let me know! 🥰
I bevel when I use a mold that has individual cavities or if I use a straight blade on the my Andy cutter. If I use the crinkle cutter I don’t.
Awesome- thank you for responding! Makes sense not to bevel with the crinkle cutter. I barely use mine, but I don't think I would bevel either. Uncle Andy's is awesome! 😁🥰
May I ask for a link to spatulas like the orange one you are using around 3.08? I need help! I thought I ordered the right thing, but they turned out only 7" long (I see that I didn't look at that!). If you can't find a link, what are yours' dimensions? Yours look so perfect for use to scrape in the measuring cups. Thank you so much! Susan
I'll see what I can dig up for info! Be back soon!
Well, I tried to attach a screenshot, but that doesn't work here. They are currently unavailable on Amazon, but the orange one is about 12.75". I hope that helps. I found them by searching for silicone spatulas and they came in a set of 14 different types/sizes.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PX14CLY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Do you know roughly how much clear base you used in this? They look so amazing!
I'm guessing around 30-32 oz. My soap sheets were around 2 oz each, and my mold holds about 40 oz, but I also gave the soap a "haircut", which is why I gave a range. Good luck! 🙂❤
And thank you! ❤😁
This is so pretty! Why do you spray it after cutting? Do you wrap them in plastic?
Thank you! I spray with 91% rubbing alcohol for a couple of reasons: first, for the video, it helps to show off the clarity a little better and shows what it would look like in water while you're using it; second, it helps them to dry out a bit. I live in a humid climate and they can develop glycerin dew. It also helps to clean them. Thank you for watching and for the question! ❤🥰
@@msTsoap thank you so much for replying. Do you also wrap them after or does the alcohol spray help eliminate the dew? I also live in a humid area, and I heard about the dew which is why people say they wrap them. I have had cold process soap before and people could smell them as they pass which would help them sell. But if they are , can’t smell them
@@kourkiedekreator4365 if you live in a humid area, I highly recommend wrapping them, as they will sweat. Letting them air dry and spraying with RA as they dry will help with the dew, but I still have to wrap here in Florida. You might keep some scent strips on hand for test smelling, or consider having a bowl of scented salts if you're trying to attract by the smell. There are low sweat varieties but they are a bit cloudy, so if clarity is important they won't work well for that.
Is there a way to make sure the mica I am buying will be credited to you?
I'm sorry, I just saw this. If you use the link in my description, it's an affiliate link and should automatically give me credit. I haven't been doing this very long, so I'm hoping it all works that easily! Thank you SO much! 🙂❤
What cutter do you use and where did you get it?
Uncle Andy's Soap Cutter, you can find him on Etsy and on Facebook! I love it!
where did you get the uncle andy cutter?
Hi, sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been in the middle of a cross country move. You can search on Etsy and find him fairly easily, just search Uncle Andy's Soap Cutters. Good luck! ❤
How would you wrap these?
These come out as a basic rectangle shape, so I wrap them the same as any swirl bar: I use a basic plastic wrap. I tried using a plastic free wrap, but it just doesn't give an airtight seal. Living in Florida, it's just too humid not to completely seal. I have issues with the shrink wrap, and I honestly bought a great system that many of the professionals use. Part of my issues have to do with my back/neck and repetitive motion, and yes- believe it or not- my hand/eye coordination issues. I can create works of art- but you should see my handwriting!
Sounds great 👍🏼
I can soooo relate to hiding my handwriting! LOL I BLAME it on being a lefty!! thanks again!
Where do I get the tool for beveling ?
I use a basic vegetable peeler and bought mine in a set of cheapo ones at the grocery or Dollar Tree- I can't remember because I looked both places. There is a fabulous beveling tool that I want to try but haven't looked for it yet. You can probably find it on The Dancing Soap Dish's channel, as she uses it in one of her videos. It looks like it gives you more control. When I find it, I'm sure I'll do a video on it! 😁
Fantastic ! Ty!
