Rolled Soap

Video Transcript

"In this clip, we're going to be making some rolled soap. It's a lot like making a jelly roll. Where here I have a piece of foil as I did in the earlier clip. I just pinched and made my own little mold and I do that just by pinching up and making these little ridges on the side to hold the soap in. I pinch the corners and now we've got a nice rectangular space to hold our soap. We're going to make two thin layers of different colors and the first color I have here is um just the Avocado Cucumber which I've added the white um colorizing powder. It's going to give a real pearly look to it. Now I'm just going to pour into this little mold and were just going to coat enough to make, whoops, and you know what I've got a big chunk there that I didn't see melted. So, I'm going to scoop that out and we just want to have a thin layer as even as you can and we're not going to let this set up completely, just for a few minutes until it gets slightly firm. So just about like that and we'll let it set up for about two to three minutes. Alright, we're ready to add our second layer and before we do that we're going to spritz this with our alcohol and over here I have some of my clear soap base that I've added my coloring and my fragrance to and I in the same pattern, I'm just going to pour over a thin layer just like I did the first time around and we'll let that set up slightly. Alright after a few minutes and you can gently touch and feel it kind of uh rubbery; not fully set and that's when it's time to pull it out of its mold and we do that by just gently peeling back; working it, working it all the way around and we are going to free it from the foil. I'm going to bring over this cutting board we have here and we're going to just roll it just like a jelly roll. Once you have it rolled there and some of it gushed out at the bottom and that's okay. We're going to let it sit for another two minutes or so just to get firm before we cut it into slices. Alright, it's been another two minutes or so and this is set up nice and firm so we're ready to slice it. We're going to just start at the end and take this very end piece off where you can see now the design of it and cut them into whatever width you like and you can see they make really fun soaps and you can make your layers in whatever colors you like and there you go and that's how you make rolled soap."
