Materials:

Wilton six cavity silicone Christmas tree mold
12 oz. clear melt and pour soap base
fragrance oil in a Christmas scent – I used Brambleberry’s Hollyberry
blue and yellow (or green) liquid soap colorant
opalescent green mica
alcohol in a spray bottle
Pyrex measuring cup, spoon, microwave

Cut up the soap and put it into the glass measuring cup.

Melt in microwave in 30 second intervals, until fully melted.

Add fragrance oil. You should always add fragrance before color, since some fragrances alter the soap’s color.

Add yellow and blue colorant until desired shade is reached. To make green, you will use more yellow than blue. Add just a few drops at a time. Remember, you can add more, but you can’t take the color out once it’s added.

Stir mica into the colored soap.

Divide evenly into the six cavities of the mold. Spray liberally with alcohol after to remove any surface bubbles from your soap.

(That is alcohol on the outside of my mold.)

Allow to fully harden for at least a few hours. Pull away the sides to let some air in and the soaps should pop right out of the mold when you apply pressure to the bottom of each cavity.

Enjoy your soap!
