- white soap base with glycerin;
- Red soap dye. Be careful - this is not the same as food coloring!
- heart-shaped ice trays;
- rectangular soap containers;
- almond oil (you can also use olive, hemp or coconut oil);
- Shea butter or cocoa butter;
- essential or cosmetic aromatic oil your choice (make sure it's good for your skin);
- additional additives: sugar (for peeling), glitter (for shine), etc. Make sure they're water-soluble, otherwise you'll spend a week scraping them off your body.
This is an adorable soap with hearts. self made– an absolutely stunning gift for mom, girlfriends or close relatives on the occasion of Valentine’s Day and other holidays!
Of course, this master class does not suggest making soap from scratch. People who make professional soaps have pantries full of crazy ingredients, weird shapes and beautiful packaging. At the same time, store-bought soap is stuffed with all sorts of chemicals, which is a little frustrating.
Therefore, you can buy ready-made natural soap base, which you only need to melt, add additives and pour into molds. And it's as easy as melting chocolate! The entire soap making process will take you only 15 minutes of active time and 3-4 hours of waiting until the base hardens.
A heart is not the only thing you can decorate this product with. You can, for example, purchase molds in the shape of Christmas trees, pine extract and make fragrant crafts for the New Year. Or in the form of flowers, add a coconut aroma - and a wonderful soap for summer is ready!
Step-by-step master class
So let's start making soap with hearts inside.
Step 1: Cut the base
Step 2: Grease the Molds
Grease the heart shapes with vegetable oil.
Step 3: Melt the base
Melt ¼ of the entire chopped soap base using a double boiler or in the microwave.
Add red dye to the melted base and cosmetic oils(it is recommended to add oils at the rate of ¾ teaspoon for every 4 ml of soap).
Step 4: Fill the molds
Mix everything well. Pour the mixture into the heart mold and leave for 40-60 minutes to harden.
Step 5: Take out the hearts
Remove the hearts from the molds.
Using a fork, scratch the convex part of the hearts (this will ensure better adhesion of the layers). Place the hearts in rectangular containers, flat side down. Use your hand to gently press down the hearts. Make sure they stick to the bottom of the container. If desired, add glitter, sugar and other inclusions.
Step 6: Fill with White Base
Melt the remaining soap base in a double boiler or microwave. Add additional ingredients, cosmetics and essential oils if desired.
Pour liquid base into containers on top of hearts.

Soap molds in the shape of a heart.

Sugar.

So, we’ve prepared everything we need, if we forgot something, we’ll figure it out along the way.
Take the soap base and cut it into cubes. Place in a deep plate.
Now put the plate in the microwave. Be sure to monitor the process so that over time the liquid does not begin to boil. When we pull it out of the microwave it will be warm, then we act quickly.
Now let's experiment with color. Let's make the soap light pink. To do this, we need to add white dye, and only then pink. If you bought dyes in a store, then there must be instructions and a dispenser, with the help of which we control the color, adding more pink, white or red colors.
Then we determine by eye how much liquid you have and add a quarter teaspoon of oil per 100 grams, or more precisely, one teaspoon of vegetable oil per 400 grams of liquid.
Be sure to thoroughly stir the liquid with a stick.
When the liquid has been stirred and it has become homogeneous, add a couple of teaspoons of sugar. Since the liquid is quite warm, we stir the sugar very quickly, because it will begin to cool immediately.
And the last step is to pour the mixture into silicone molds. It will be easy to remove already hardened soap from molds of this material.
When the liquid cools down, soap appears. Carefully remove it from the molds and look how beautiful it is.
If you made it for a gift, then find a beautiful one wrapping paper and wrap it around the soap.
You can also make soap in other colors, I’m experimenting with colors.
If you liked this craft, then I suggest you do many more interesting things, for example, find out or. It's also very fun to sew. If you do DIY, then everything you create is unique.
To all lovers of handmade soaps, HELLO!
Today I continue to introduce you to TM products " Celandine". I have more than 10 products of this trademark and I can’t help but tell you about it.
Ideally, I wanted to try only solid shampoos, but in reality the package turned out to be a little more diverse.
I have 4 different handmade soaps. I have already talked about one of them with such a beautiful name as “Spring Mosaic” (link to review).
It was this soap that I liked the most, so I hasten to tell you about it. Moreover, in reality it is ordinary soap, but so attractive. I really can't.
IMPORTANT! This soap does not position itself as a soap specifically for dry skin. It is universal for any skin type. And we all know that universal ones are suitable for either normal/combination skin. Or for the body.
Price, bar, place to buy.
The cost of this work is 100g equal to 60 UAH (180 rubles). Link to place of purchase.
Appearance soap, consumption
Soap VERY cool. Much better in real life than in the title photo. Simply a work of art. It seems to be ordinary, but it is a heart that is completely poured out through all the soap.
By the way, this heart, in theory, is made stupidly from rose oil (that’s why it has such a shade and aroma). The consumption is very economical, a month is enough for 3 non-economical uses. And through the mesh and all 4
Aroma, application.
As has already become clear with previous paragraph the soap smells like roses. And the rose is its main composition, despite the fact that it is the last one in the composition. Since I don’t really smell either lemon or ylang-ylang (and I adore it). I used it on my face and body. But I don’t recommend it for the face - it dries out, you need to moisturize very generously afterwards. But for the body it’s just bliss.
From the manufacturer, composition.
The composition is simple and at the same time 100% natural. Its price per bar is completely justified.
Soap in action.
After 2 weeks the soap looks like this.
But remember that I applied it through a mesh - both for the face and body.
Application is simple. I took it mesh(link to review), moistened it and rubbed it with soap. Then I did the “hand wash” manipulations and removed the resulting foam. Foam due to the fact that the mesh with small holes turns out to be plentiful. For soap, this is simply a favorite.
Despite the fact that this facial soap is not entirely suitable (not for dry skin types), I did not regret using it one bit. It attracts at first sight and does not leave you indifferent.
My opinion.
I really liked the soap. I still use it on my body and I think I will continue. It is so tender, so soft. Suitable as a gift for loved ones and for yourself. I’m so indifferent to roses in and of themselves, but this soap is simply intoxicating, inviting. I can't describe the feelings I get when using it. You really need to try it. Delight. Definitely a delight.
Good luck in choosing personal care products. Love soap, it takes such gentle and thorough care of our skin.
A beautiful and delicate heart with air bubbles is soap. It looks amazing and is easy to make even for beginner soap makers. This would make a beautiful and unusual gift. Master Class
To make “Heart” soap we will need:
Soap base
Dyes
Flavoring
Heart shaped mold
Work progress:
1. Melt the transparent base. Add red dye to 2/3 of the soap base, and add yellow dye to the remaining 1/3. The lighter the color of the soap, the more visible the bubbles inside will be. Let's add flavoring.
2. Let's wait for the base to cool until a thin film appears on the surface. First pour in the red base, wait about a minute and pour yellow soap on one side.
3. We wait a couple of minutes, after which we draw air into the syringe. We insert the needle into the very bottom layer, piercing the film from above, and gradually introduce air into the soap. Bubbles will form under the film.
4. When you think there are enough bubbles, remove the syringe and leave the soap to cool. The cooling process will take several hours, after which we get ready-made soap from the form.
