- In this cold process soap making tutorial, I show you how to do a pipe divider swirl including all the equipment you need and suitable alternatives if you can't get plastic pipes or a slab mold.
I have produced a spreadsheet that will calculate the amount of soap you need to make this soap and how to split it between the pipes and surrounding mold, in the video, I tell you where you can download this from completely free of charge.
I try to give lots of hints and tips in all of my videos, so hopefully, you can use some of the techniques in this cold process soap making tutorial in your own soap making.

Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

Hi everyone. I hope you enjoyed the video, don't forget to download your FREE soap calculator to do all those tricky calculations for you when you make this soap. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below. I will get back to you. Happy soaping - Lisa
Thank you very much Lisa♡
Hi Lisa. I downloaded the calculator to use. I am not sure where I am erring on using the calculation template so I thought I would reach out. I’ve inputted all the bright yellow boxes. For some reason no values are showing up for the final 4 locked cells that are highlighted in green, orange and bluish. Also on my end line 23 lines up with total soap and not line 22 as indicated on instruction. Any ideas?
@@yolandaescanciano8511 Hi Yolanda, you are quite right to reach out if you have any queries. Thank you so much, I have just gone in and realised that when I went in the other day to remove my pre-entered figures as I thought they could be confusing, I deleted the formulae(Doh!!), I've also changed the reference to row 22. Please download it again (make sure you refresh the page) it should work ok now. I'm so pleased you contacted me to let me know. I hope your soap comes out brilliantly. Best wishes - Lisa
Many Thanks! Love it! I am going to try and make today...fingers crossed and toes! Stay safe!
@@yolandaescanciano8511 Oooh good luck, remember the most important thing is to keep that trace nice and fluid, so soap cool and watch the fragrance oil you use. Keeping everything crossed :-)
Great reminder that just because we've left school behind, doesn't mean we won't need to revisit some of what we learned way back when(or not so"way back.."🙃😉) once again, Thank You Lisa!😘👏👏
I chuckled when you said one could just guess the amount of batter needed. I said to myself "Lisa is NOT going to guess!"
Great soap. I'm going to give it a go, but I will be guessing! 😃
He, he, he - oooh could you imagine. Now one day I'm going to surprise you and just wing it. I hope your soap turns out really well, keep that batter fluid, that's the main success point. I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well xx
@@IDreamInSoap We are! Thanks for asking. I hope all is good for you and yours as well.😊
Lol your fancy bar soaping dishes look like something from my normal batches. And thank you so much for that spreadsheet that calculates the amounts. That was so nice of you.
You are so welcome, I hope it helps you out, thank you for taking the tome to leave a comment for me :-)
I love math, spreadsheets, and soap! These turned out so lovely! 😍
Well what a lucky day for you Whittany, you scored 3 times :-) Thank you so much, I hope you and your family are staying well
I Dream In Soap we are. Sales have halted, and teaching has too momentarily, so I’m just making soaps to give away. I hope you have been staying well too! 😍
I love the spreadsheet!! Thank you for sharing and showing how to create this beautiful soap. You're marvelous, Lisa!
You are so welcome Adrienne, I think this is a lovely technique, but a lot of people get put off trying to work out how much batter to use, so hopefully this will help 😊
Always very instructive, and that technique so gorgeous. Thank you. Always I learned something new.
I'm so pleased, thank you Claribel Amy
HI lovely lady, South Africa is also on lock down until 16 April so I am making soap today and this is gonna be on my list for sure. Thank you for another great video. I love how beautiful the soap turned out.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I know isn't it all so mad, but an excellent chance to have fun and make soap as long as you have supplies. I hope you, your friends and family all stay safe and well.
I love your videos so much! Much better then royalty soaps in my opinion you are such a great teacher and I LOVE your kitchen and your tiles I have never seen tiles like that in Minnesota
Thank you so much, ooh yes I love my bright lime kitchen, it took ages to find what we wanted as people thought we were mad wanting a lime green kitchen :-)
Those are pretty. Great color combination. I hope all is well with your family and friends. Have an awesome week
Thank you Cheryl. We are all fit and well here at the moment, I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time.
This is just beautiful! 😍 that pink and grey! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well. :-)
@@IDreamInSoap Hi! I love your work it is always so beautiful and detailed. And yes we are staying safe and staying indoors. We haven't been out in weeks now. I thank God for his grace a d mercy and for keeping us everyday😊 I pray all is well with you and yours as well. Stay safe a d be blessed always😊
I love the colours 😍 loving the maths too! A girl after my own heart, methodical.
Stay safe x
Hey Deborah, thank you. Yes you are right I am very methodical and always like to have a plan. I hope you and your family are keeping fit and well.
Another beautiful Job Lisa. Thanks for the walk through on how to do that. My least favorite part of soap making is the clean up!!
Thank you Renee, now I don't mind the clean up, mind you there was a lot this time. My least favourite is waiting to cut - soooo hard. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Haha... cleaning is the hardest part 🤣😂 and I really hate it...I love the soap 😻
Hi Aparna Kumari thank you so much for your very kind comment 😊
Good morning from California! I am so glad that future primitive shared you Chanel. Thank you for all you do to help all of us out by making your amazing spreadsheet! Lord knows I could not have ever figured all of the math out lol. Take care and stay safe. Hugs Leanne
Good morning (well probably afternoon now) California. Yes the planning for a pipe divider can be a bit of a maths challenge (or a massive guess), so hopefully the spreadsheet solves all that headache and you can just concentrate on the fun bit, You take care too Leanne :-)
thank you so much for the info. i would be banging my head doing the mathemathics. leftover trauma from schooling. ;-)
Hey, thanks a lot, ooh I hop this helped you out, the maths can be tricky for these. You can always just estimate but you tend to end up with lots of extra soap
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this video, loved the pipe idea 😁
Thank you so much Malena, so nice of you to say and thank you for leaving a comment for me. I didn't invent the idea (just trying to make sure it doesn't look like I did) but it is such a fun technique. Keep safe and well xx
@@IDreamInSoap thanks you, stay safe as well.
Your videos are so amazing so glad you decided to do TH-cam
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me, you're so kind. Stay safe and well :-)
Hi Lisa! Just became a subscriber. I really like your presentation style. Very down to earth and yet cheerful. I’ve been soaping for 5 years and do some advanced techniques, but I’m always looking at new designs and how to videos. You make some beautiful soaps and make the techniques seem very doable!
Welcome Teresa, thank you so much for your lovely comment, ooh I hope you do have a go at some of the techniques :-)
Beautiful bars, great tip using the drinks coaster for planing
Hello again Tanya, thank you so much, yes something to push with does help. Hope you and your family are staying safe and well
Thanks for another great video Lisa! I especially like the spreadsheet that can’t be mucked up!! 😄 This technique is on my short list to make, and the inspiration I got from this video bumped it up a few places.
Thank you Denise. Ooh that's great, it's a fun technique, keep that batter fluid :-) I hope you and your family are keeping fit and well.
We are well, Lisa. Living in rural Alaska means staying at home is the norm. However, my husband has begun working from home, which has required some adjustments! Lol
They are so 70's, your choice of colour is perfect . they are beautiful lisa ☺
Yes they are quite retro, it wasn't my intention, but I can definitely see what you mean. Thank you for leaving me another comment :-)
You are simply amazing 😉
Aw Rosealee, thank you so much and thank you for always leaving me a comment. Stay safe and well
Hi Lisa, wow! That's so gorgeous! I love everything about the soap! the colors, design and the technique. Awesome job! ❤️

AW Mona, that's so lovely to hear, I really appreciate you letting me know. I hope you make a brilliant soap. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Amazing work dear ... I just few days back made a soap with similar method still different .... Super work once again

@@IDreamInSoap I haven't edited it yet ... Right now editing April 3 video so that I am on schedule ... Will keep u informed once it's up ... I am really bad at editing so it take a whole worlds time for me to edit
Lisa, your design is so beautiful and perfect! I love that you share all your maths. You are very precise and advanced. These color choices are delightful 😊 Thank you for all the tips and advice you share. Super informative and helpful. Fantastic job, Lisa!!! 💕

AW, thank you so much Shonna, and thank you for your extra, super enthusiastic comment, you're a star :-)
Lovely as always!
Thanks Gwen. 😉
Beautiful!!! Loved it!!
Thank you so much Loretta, that's very kind of you.
This is absolutely beautiful, one day I would like to try this method. Appreciate your video and showing us your talent. Thanks from Australia.
Thank you so much Kerry, ooh I do hope you try it, it is a little bit tricky and you do need to make sure you can keep your batter fluid, but it's a lot of fun. Stay safe and well :-)
You are so talented. I so have to try this. I have some stuff ordered but cuz of the covid-19 virus some of my stuff won't be here until June. I think you should consider a online course of soap making. LOL
Thank you so much, Oh no June!!!! that's ages :-( rats. Stay safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap I will. Yes it's awhile but I guess patience is a virtue.
@@IDreamInSoap and consider doing an online class for soap making. You have a GREAT personality for it. And an AWESOME attitude.
Another super informative video! Great execution!
Thank you so much Mandy. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you so much, and thank you for taking the time to leave me another comment, I do appreciate it :-)
Love it! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for leaving me another comment Constance, I really appreciate it, so pleased you like the soap. Take care of yourself, stay safe and well
ok so I'm locked in for 2 weeks~ and just happen to have a good bit of pipes here in the basement~! Yeah, something to do~! I've run out of stuff to do ~ and I still have 10 days to go~! Thank you!
Woohoo, that's excellent news (about the supply of pipes) not so much about the lock down. But perfect time to try a new technique. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
@@IDreamInSoap Thanks! Same to you!!
Wow, Wow, Wow, love your spreadsheet and soap. You always put a lot of time and effort into you video's. Thank you for sharing. I have learnt so much from you. 🙏
He,he, thank you Christine. I'm so pleased that you get something from my videos, it means the world to me. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Beautiful once again, and photos at the end!
Thank you so much Tia, I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well.
I love this Lisa, very groovy and funky, but pretty, thank you, I will try your soap calculator, looks easy enough for me lol, be safe 💐
Thank you so much Tracey, yes they are pretty retro :-) The soap calculator does stop your brain hurting trying to work all the amounts out. Stay safe and well :-)
Lovely! I have wanted to try this technique for several years. Maybe I will now that I am stuck at home. My shop is clean and I am almost caught up!!
Thank you Jo-Ann, well now seems the perfect time for a new technique. Thank you for always watching my videos and leaving me comments, I really appreciate it. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Love this!!!
Hi, perfect instructions and very precise measurements. Your color choices are very pretty. Really enjoyed your video as always I do. TFS.
Thank you so much Bindhu and thank you for always watching my videos and leaving me comments, I really appreciate it. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well.
Yes I enjoy watching your videos.. And your efforts and sincerity behind each bar. God's grace we are safe. Hope you and your loved ones are safe. ❤ Take care well.
So pretty
😊👍
Love the colours! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Patricia. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well.
@@IDreamInSoap hope you and your family are keeping safe and well too x
As always, your soaps are beautiful! I just love this technique. I still have to get my head around your explanations regarding calculation of soap batter, thank you so much for explaining this🙏🏼😊❤️
Thank you so much Mag, if I've confused you with anything please don't hesitate to ask any questions and I'll help if I can. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
Great tutorial! thank you for sharing your entire process & spreadsheet!!! 👍🏻😃 I’ve wanted to try this technique but avoided it because it looks like so much work. But maybe I’ll have a go of it with some cardboard tubes and a small mold.
Hey Susan, thanks a lot.OOh I hope you do give it a go, yes a small one is a great idea to try it out (less washing up too :-) ) I hope you and your family are staying safe and well :-)
Hi, first of all thanks a ton for your videos.. it is very informative and useful.. one of the best in you tube.. I just started watching your videos and I am trying to find soap making videos for beginner level but I couldn't? I could find the very basics and then straight to the designs? Have you put any videos for beginners?
Hi Madhu, I have started a series called 'you can make this soap' It's still new but I'm producing videos with lots of detail and help, but these are still 'designs' I haven't made a here's a basic soap video as there are lots of those out there, but I do have videos on how to prepare all your oils and lye, how to mix titanium dioxide etc, that sort of thing. I'm not sure if these are what you are after and I'm always keen to hear suggestions of what people would like. Best wishes - Lisa
@@IDreamInSoap ok Lisa ...i just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it .. nobody gives tips like you.. thanks a ton again.if u can make videos on oil infusion , soap making using natural colours and basic swirls it will be helpful..😊
Well thought out, and clearly explained. ❤️
Thank you so much Connie. I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well.
Lisa, I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills! I always look forward to your instruction. Do you have a patreon page?
Thank you so much Jean, so kind of you to say. No I don't have a patreon page, maybe in the future, but not really considered it yet. I hope you and your family are keeping fit and well.
Clever.... love this so much x
Good morning Karen :-) thank you very much for your comment. I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well.
This is so awesome❣️thank you for sharing❣️
Thank you so much Sarah. I hope you and your family are keeping fit and well.
Hey Lisa love your videos. Just wondering how you cut the pipes so neatly and what tools you use?
Hi Robyn. I just cut them with a hand saw, I wrap some tape around the pipe so the saw doesn't slip and then I sand the ends
Hi Lisa, I am very impressed with all your creativity. Never made any comment to your videos as just got speechless. Today.. I'd like to ask you to provide a link (if you don't mind) to the 3D printer you've got as I'm thinking of buying one and I'm not sure what to consider, please. Are you a motorcyclist :) ? Thank you for your help -Iwona
Hi Anasko, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am in no way an expert on 3D printers but I did do a lot of research. Here's a link to the one I purchased. I have been very pleased with it it has given me no problems at all and does what I ask it to do. However I have nothing to compare it to but If someone asked (like you have) I would recommend it. I am a motorcyclist, I race a Triumph Daytona 675 and do track days.
The link is for Amazon in the UK, not sure where you are, but at least you can see which one it is www.amazon.co.uk/Large-Intelligent-Industrial-Grade-Printer/dp/B07GPNFZX9
@@IDreamInSoap Thank you very, very much:) I am in UK and also ride a bike. 5 years ago had an accident on Deville 600 now got new Honda CB500X and I'm in love with it. The reason I've asked about bikes was, I've spotted on FB your background pic. Let's hope the corona won't keep us indoors for much long. John O'Groats is waiting... Happy soaping Lisa and enjoy rest of the Sunday :)
Perfect Soap!! Can you tell us, where you've got the cutting tool in the end from? The transparent one?
Thank you very much. I'm not sure where you're based as the chap I got my planer from doesn't seem to be supplying the UK any more, but he does seem to still be supplying the US, not sure where else. It was from a company called Custom Soap stamps. It's the acrylic bladeless planner. It's really good. I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well
gorgeous!!! where did u get the turquoise silicone spoonula? thanks in advance!
Thank so much. I had a look back through the video but couldn't see me using what you may be referring to, but I think you mean my 'Mini Supoon' if so, it's from a company called DreamFarm, they seem to sell very widely so hopefully that 's the right thing and you can find it from there.
Lisa, do you change your water to lye ratio when you need a more fluid batter? Or do you just mix to an emulsion and then work quickly before the batter begins to harden?
HI Michael. I always stay with the same ratio. In the UK when we have our soaps safety assessed we are not allowed to change our recipe (even the water amount) so you spend a good time working out a batter that will stay fluid for a long time, and I always just mix to emulsion, pre disperse my micas in oil so I can just stir them in
@@IDreamInSoap Ah yes, I understand. My plan is to make a soap with a straight bottom layer, and then a swirl of some sort on the top half. I'm sure Ill figure it out if I just watch more great soaping videos. Thank you and stay safe.
Love the design Lisa. Why are you using only 72% oils. Wouldn't it be 100%
Hi Liz, thank you so much. The 72% is the amount of oil in the total recipe, so as well as having oil, the recipe has water, lye and fragrance oil. Best wishes, Lisa
@@IDreamInSoap Hi Lisa. . . what is the calculation for how to discover the % of oil? I thought I had it and put in at 75% in the spreadsheet, but the total batter did not match up in soapcalc. Then I put in 72% by trial and error, and it all added up perfectly in soapcalc and on the spreadsheet. . . except that I'm totally unsure of how I got 72%? Obviously, this is a calculation that must be done beforehand, since you need to put the weight of oils from the spreadsheet into soapcalc. Ironically, I've used the spreadsheet before without issue and somehow managed to do this calculation before, but cannot, for the life of me, remember how the heck I did it!
Guess who? Lol. I've run out of oils to make soap and I can't get more as I'm in isolation 😣, I can only make bath bombs and whipped soap until this covid 19 has been shown the door. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely give it a go when everything is back to normal. Stay well .Lisa x
Well hello Kerry - Oh no that is a disaster, well hopefully we can all get out and about soon and you can get some supplies. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well.
This might sound like a dumb question but how do you download the spreadsheet?
Hey Christine, if you go to the download page on my website, click on the green button underneath the pipe divider swirl picture, it should either just open on screen, you can then click save as, or a message will pop up when you click on the button asking you what you want to do with it. It's an excel spreadsheet so believe it will only work on a Windows pc not a mac. Hope this helps :-)
@@IDreamInSoap got it thank you.
😍😍😍
Thank you so much and thank you for leaving me a comment. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well :-)
Why did you put in the oven.....?.... it’s it coal or it is just a method because here it’s over 23 degrees centigrade?....
Hi Margarita. I do it to ensure my soap goes through gel phase. I use quite a big water discount, which makes it harder for soap to gel, so by popping it in the oven I can ensure it always gels and I don't risk any partial gel. I hope you and your family are staying well at this difficult time
