"In this clip I'm going to show you how you can make some fancy decorative soaps using some rubber stamps you might have around the house. You just take off the design from your rubber stamp, any one that you like. This one is from a foamy rubber stamp, but you can even use the block type and just peel off the design, trace around it, and rubber cement it to the bottom of any mold that you'd like. And this is the shape that is going to get embedded in your soap. So we have here a heart, and I've already melted some of the avocado soap which I've added some color and some fragrance to, and we're going to just pour that on top of the stamp and into the mold, and let it set up. Alright, now that our rubber stamp mold here, soap has set up, we're going to go ahead and remove that. And you'll remember we had our rubber stamp on the bottom of our mold, and as you see, the glue sometimes comes off with the heat. I'm going to use a little knife and pop out the rubber stamp. And there we have our embedded design, smooth it around. It makes a really nice touch for your guest bathroom or a little party favor, and just think of the imaginations you can come up with, the different designs, from all the different rubber stamps that are out there.
