Step 1: Preparing the casting soap
First you need to cut the transparent casting soap into small cubes. This makes melting easier, as the increased surface area ensures even heating. It is best to use a special casting soap such as the VBS-Soap, which is ideal for creative projects.
Step 2: Melt the soap
Place some of the cut soap cubes in a universal melting pot. Heat the soap at a low temperature and monitor the temperature regularly with a thermometer to make sure it does not exceed 60 °C. Temperatures that are too high can affect the consistency of the soap and reduce its quality.
Step 3: Finish the soap
Once the soap has completely melted, you can refine it to your liking. Drizzle in a few drops of your favorite fragrance oil to create a pleasant scent. Add a nourishing skin oil to give the soap additional nourishing properties. To improve the lather of your soap, mix in some soap lather concentrate.
Step 4: Color the soap
Now it's time for the color! Add soap colour until you have reached the desired color intensity. The color becomes more intense with every drop. Make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly so that the color is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Pour the soap and leave to harden
Carefully pour the colored soap into a bunny-silicone mould and allow it to harden completely. The curing time may vary depending on the room temperature, so allow sufficient time.
Step 6: Remove the soap from the mold
Once the soap has completely hardened, you can carefully remove it from the mold. Be careful not to damage the fine details.
Step 7: Presentation in the gift box
Now comes the finishing touch! Place some decorative organic hay in the VBS-Wooden chest and place the finished bunnies in it. This gives the presentation a natural and high-quality touch. Finally, tie a grosgrain ribbon around the wooden chest and form a decorative bow to finish off your work in style.
