I know this is many months later, but would giving the leftover soaps out as samples be feasible? I try not to have too much soap leftover after cutting, but some always remains. I cut them into mini soap sizes, put them in little glassine bags with an ingredient/scent label and send them out with orders or hand them out at markets. At first I thought this much work for soap samples was a waste of time but it paid off for me. I gave a sample to someone who now pays me every year to make sample size bars for their accounting/tax business, and they give them to all their customers as a thank you. That’s hundreds of people every year getting my soaps. It was worth it! ETA: a word.
It reminds me of a fruit cocktail. The nice kind that you get at spa hotels. Only I would see that, but I love your soap Jen and the sunflower theme goes so well with that beautiful ombre. Good luck for competition
It's soap dough :) th-cam.com/video/27PbFp-L8jg/w-d-xo.html and a sunflower mold. Soap dough is a malleable soap that allows you to work with it like clay.
These are just gorgeous! I love watching your talent!
Thank you so much! ☺️ ❤️
I think they came out beautiful 🌻 also can understand how difficult it would be for you to scoop out your ombre! LOL
Haha yeah it killed me to scoop it out. I was like all that work and then destroy it! HA!
I absolutely love your design. It's so beautiful. ❤🌻

I create grab bags with my end pieces so nothing goes to waste :) Lots of people love the surprise of a mixed bag of end pieces.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
I kept 1/3 of the ombré in-touched 😅
I mean un-touched 😅
Thank you! Yeah I think if I do this again I might try and be more "brutal" with not trying to keep the ombre in tack lol.

😂😂 I think you're going to see food every time now haha. Thank you! I was pleased with the soap. It's bright and cheerful and makes me smile!
@@TheSoapArtist it's gorgeous, I'm glad you're pleased because it's a beautiful 🫧🫧🫧 soap
Absolutely gorgeous 💖💖
Thank you so much!! 😊
Lot of work but this is absolutely stunning that’s art love it ❤
It was a lot of work, but worth the end result for sure!
I love your videos. Question - where did you get the soap splitter?
Thank you. The splitter came from Custom Craft Tools. It's their Hercules Splitter!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Very pretty.
Thank you!
How do you press the flower on the bar without messing up the pedals? These are fabulous 😊
I just press gently and try and make sure the back is fairly flat so it adheres easily. I also try and pick shapes that won't misshape too easily.
@@TheSoapArtist thank you for your fast response and help. You are a brilliant artist.
I don't understand how you make your flowers? What is the dough you use?
It's soap dough :) th-cam.com/video/27PbFp-L8jg/w-d-xo.html and a sunflower mold. Soap dough is a malleable soap that allows you to work with it like clay.
Distilled water really secures them?
If the soap dough embellishments are fresh and soft, yes distilled water will hold them. Older/hard embeds won’t stay with just water.
@@TheSoapArtist thanks!
Would previously piped and set soap flowers stick to a finished bar with water or is it just soap dough that sticks?
@@karenp5630 I am 99% sure they wouldn't stay. Soap dough is soft and can stick to the bar of soap. A piped soap doesn't have those elelments.
@@TheSoapArtist understood. Thank you for your feedback!
