How to make Soap, The melt and pour easy method
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- I am sharing how I made some easy melt and pour handmade soaps in today's video. I used two recipes, the first is a honey, oatmeal and almond oil recipe and the second was a lavender and lemongrass recipe. I used a melt and pour goats milk base that I got from Amazon which I will link below. This would make the perfect Christmas DIY or wedding DIY too.

@@cathy5439 good morning from india
Catherine I adore how you have wrapped and made these lovely soaps.Tea tree soap would be useful.Add some little rosebuds.Those moulds are super.Would be good if you could get one shaped as a cat!!! Much love to you and Blondie.xxx
OMG yes, I need a cat shaped one!
This video was so cute, I just bought a bunch of soap making stuff from Joann's and this gave me a ton of inspiration! The fabric and twine presentation is genius, thank you for making this!
Wow! What a great idea. I love this idea. I will be making soap with my granddaughter. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Stay blessed.
You are so kind Cathalina, Thanks so much for watching x
How cute is this?? 😍 Thank you so much for a great gift idea especially during this time when we need to wash our hands more often. 👍
I love your Irish accent. Definitely going to try these with a view to selling them on my shop. Please do lots more! Have just started subscribing to your videos.
Hey! Ever since I watched this video a few months ago I've been obsessed with making all things soap! I've even started my own business😊 thanks for the inspiration, keep doing what you're doing
Great....best of luck
YES me to im trying to get started
Amazing where the best place to seel them
Rebecca Mosaad can colouring be added if so what should I use
I'm thinking on doing that too
You are the Irish Martha Stewart- only better😀💕
Aw, you're so sweet! Thanks so much for watching x x x
As long as she stays away from insider trading violations, she'll be golden! :D
@@DaintyDiaries hi...wanted to know if goat's milk soap has a wierd smell in comparison to clear base?
I'd no idea it was so easy to make soap! I can't wait to try this. I've already ordered the soap base off Amazon but unfortunately the honeycomb mould won't arrive until after Christmas 🎄 I was thinking maybe while you're stirring you could sit the glass jug in a pan of hot water to stop it hardening???? A piece of round fabric cloth would look great over the jar lid. Thanks for sharing this amazing idea!
Yes, you can use a double boiler for this to keep it warm xxx Thanks so much for watching!
It warms my heart to watch your videos! You are sooooo talented! Your soaps are beautiful! What a great gift idea. When you wrapped them ,that was the icing on the cake. The looked like the came from a boutique. Your soaps and natural, beautiful, down to earth just like you. Missed Blondie and Pepsi in your video. You and your pussycats go hand in hand. You are one great team together. Thank you for all your hard and time consuming work!!
Aw, Judy, You are a sweetheart. Thank you!
Dainty Dairies Just made soaps using Melt & Pour using Rose Geranium essential oils plus pink food colouring, they turned out great. Did you know you can all soap supplies from an Irish Company called Bomar in Kilcoole, County Wicklow, they also have a postal service. Well worth checking out. Thank you for your video.
I love your English accent
Catherine, I finally made soaps with my granddaughters! We had so much fun and it was so easy. Thank you for this video which triggered this event! 🌝
By the way, we added colorings & essential oil fragrances. The kids were so creative and made very pretty color combinations. Since then I bought more molds. Today I am doing a soap making class with some local young ladies. They will use their soaps for Christmas gifts. So, thank you yet again, Catherine! This is SO easy and the result is immensely rewarding. 💕
Enthusiasm give success
beautiful. I've been wanting to make soap for ages but was a bit apprehensive of the lye method. your soap turned out great so will not be afraid to try this method. thank you as always 😊
Aw thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if you give it a try x
Really amazing
I make the other kind of soap you were talking about and actually there’s low three ways to make soap 😅 Melt and pour (which still contains lye but it has completely cured) Cold process (making soap at room temperature after all the oils are melted and fluid like) and Hot process (melting oils in crockpot and cooking with the lye for an amount of time. Melt and put you can use right away I recommend 24-48 hours though so it’s all hardened. And cold process you have to wait 4-6 weeks to use. Hot process can be used 24-48 hours as well but you can’t get those pretty swirls it’s like working with a paste lol I haven’t tried HP yet :-) just thought I would share ❤️ lovely soaps!
Shelby S, I have to disagree with you (friendly disagreement of course :-)). I make hot process soap. I make swirls, as well as cupcake soaps using hot process. I also make very cute soap slices that look like decorated cake slices with piped soap frosting, topped with a soap cherry, just like you can make with cold process. It can be done when you are an experienced hot process soaper :-)
sheba12106 that’s awesome! :-) I’ve never done hot process yet- would love to sometime! But I’ve just been told that stuff 😅 I’m sure it’s more difficult to work with but I’m glad you told me that!
Thank you for your breakdown of how all processes work, much appreciated 🧼
Love your energy and the simple explanations for how to make these soaps. I'm going into the kitchen now to make my first batch ever(!!) of melt and pour. Thanks for the inspiration!
Honeysuckle & Jasmin
Lemongrass & ginger
Cherry & chocolate
I have lots of plumeria flowers rosemary and other ingredients how would I incorporate them into the soap making process?
I pronounce eczema the same way as you. I always thought soap was labour intensive but after watching you, I'm definitely trying this! Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Aw yay! I am glad you day it the same lol! Thanks so much for watching, let me know if you give them a try!
Thank you!!! For making this look so easy!!! Amazing!!!!
Spray the bubbles and they disappear. Bubbles are a no no.
This is marvelous! I love your cute molds, and the recipes you use. I also appreciate all of the very clear directions. I am definitely going to do this! Thank you so much :-)
You are so kind Kathleen, have fun making them x
It’s fun I started about 4 months ago.
I've watched loads of soap making videos since I will be adding my own soaps to my DIY Natural Non-Toxic Essential Oil Body Care & Household Cleaning Products SO I will be staying away from chemicals (LYE) and definitely will be using the melt & pour method. I must say your video is the BEST one I've seen so far, quite inspiring 👍 k can't wait to get in my kitchen and get busy 😌 Well done! 👍
Aw you are a sweetheart Kim, Thank You, Thanks so much for watching x
Great
I absolutely love your accent. Im very Irish...redhead. however I live in the states so...yea. awesome soaps!!
What a fancy microwave
Hi Catherine these soaps turned out so pretty, that would be a wonderful gift to give someone. I did sugar scrub one year but not soap yet. Love your idea on wrapping them. Just had to tell you this I'm typing this and Josh Groban is singing Just believe on the end of the Polar Express movie my favorite Christmas movie.
I love that movie!! Thanks so much for watching Kateri x
I am so interested in what sugar scrub is. I would google but im taking notes on the video, Lol!
THANKS ❤❤❤will surely try..the soap ain't cuter than u..i can tell😊😊😊
Aww thank you ☺️
Really love the bees/honeycomb molds. Now you have me interested in making soaps. I was always afraid of using lye, now I will do the alternative. Oh, how much tea or coffee did you have while filming this today, lol!
LOL! about 5 cups ha ha Thanks so much for watching!
loved your video..quite a simple method to make natural soaps..
Love this! I have sensitive skin so I can't use store bought soaps. Will try this around the holiday season! As for scents lavender lemon, mint lemon, & lavender jasmine those are my go to.
Can this be done with a clear melt and pour base? I plan to do it with turmeric powder for one batch and another for aloe Vera. Also how long should they "cure" for?
Yep, a clear soap base is perfect, I normally leave mine for two weeks and wrap them in cling film as they can sweat x
Wonderful gifts! I'm sure they smell lovely! I have always made LYE soap. Wanted to let you know not to be afraid of ALL chemicals. The LYE I use is from wood ash, totally natural----But is kinda harsh on the skin so would probably not be what you want for this DIY. But chemicals are everywhere---- oxygen is the chemicals H2O mixed.....don't stay away from those. :)
Thanks so much for watching! I don't mind the chemicals I just feel nervous handling them. I think I will try it down the line when I feel a bit more experienced xxx
Dainty Diaries You are right to be cautious. I know many people with sensitive skin and a soap made with lye will create a rush on their skin. You're a wise young lady.
Well done Kathrine another winner. Two years ago I made the lime method soap, bit needed to mature good few months and definetly needs to be done outdoors or in well ventilated place. I used rosemary, geranium and lavender combo, and it was wonderful, especially as it is unusual combination. I added dry rose buds and dry lavender to decorate the tops as I used round molds. 😊
They sound amazing Mariya!
Can I please ask u did u add fry flowers to the wet mix or at the end
@@valhilliard1483 hi I used dry flowers and I sprinkled these on the top. Their purpose is mostly aesthetic, the oils are the stars. 😊
@@little_misscrafty Ahhhh thank you, so much I really appreciate your reply im so excited to rry this
Oh my gosh, those bee moulds are so cute! I've always thought making soap would be super hard, so thanks for making this video! I might have to try it.
Let me know if you try it, it was such a fun DIY x
if you do M&P soap making, you can pop bubbles with a toothpick as best as you can, though i wouldn't put it in the fridge it will harden on it's own fairly quickly(2-4 hours) and putting it in the fridge with glycerin soap will cause it to sweat when you do take it out. also wrapping it in plastic wrap will help keep it fresh and you can make it look professional with a hair dryer too! these are things i've recently learned researching soap making with melt and pour as well as cold process soap(currently getting all supplies needed to create my own cold process soaps and i'm so ready!) but starting with melt and pour is the way to go (:
Omg they look so amazing and the shabby chic fabric scrap that you used to wrap it in was so stunning. I am tempted to make but feel I would have disaster with mine.
You are so amazing and I love you. ❤💙💙💚💛💜💜💗
Thanks so much for watching Lovely! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Looks like much fun! And you're so adorable🥰
I'm glad I saw this bc I was about to buy the lye, but like you, I dont like dealing with chemicals. I'll just take this route and add my oils and smells and coloring if I have too.. and I love your accent.. ty ❤
Have fun making your soaps ❤️❤️❤️
Great Job Dainty!!!!!))) Have a Wonderful day!!!)))🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️☃️👍🏼😊💐
Thanks so much for watching Steve! x
The soaps are lovely 😊I’m a new subscriber and I’m going to binge watch your older videos tomorrow 💐
lovely work! I TRULY ENJOYED THE VIDEO. Gonna give it a go
I’ve been trying to make soap but when it was melted after a couple minutes it would get thick and I always thought it was because I ruined it. So you’re telling me that if it gets thick again I just have to put it back in the microwave for just a couple of seconds and it will go back to normal?
Yes! Try mixing a smaller batch x or use a larger contained
I did mine for my daughters now some for self I got other soap I mad home made still curing tops making my own washing powder ,shampoo ect...I can't stop making much more trying to save to pay off my debt.
Just love your new idea. Love your accent and way of doing things. You are so good. Greetings from Canada Dainty Diaries.
I made my first batch yesterday of soap yesterday. Fresh Meadow fragrance and coloured pink at my daughters request but next I'm going to be making your oat, honey and almond oil soaps :) can't wait. Love your videos xx
Awww this was a nice video and i love your personality💖💖 subscribed!
Thanks for subbing! xx
Thank you for not using chemicals for soap, I know soap is chemicals anyway but I mean toxic chemicals, good on you, I wanted to find a video where it wasn't going to burn and why make a soap that way, when you don't have to? XD
I am not a fan of soaps put now that I see this I will like to make homemade soap 🧼😃
What a bonnie bonnie lassie as we say in Scotland x

This was a great video! What a wonderful idea! Are the molds expensive? How much are the Essential Oils? Great gifts for any time. Lemon grass & Bergamot? Thanks so much. Happy Holidays Catherine! (And Blondie too!)💖🎄🎁🐝🍯🍋🌹❄
Thanks so much for watching Nancy, No, the moulds aren't too expensive. You can pick up the items cheaply off amazon and in local shops. x Have a lovely Christmas x

Excellent video and ideas for reasonably priced homemade Christmas gifts
The soaps are so cute and I love how you packaged them!
Its true
Though I haven't tried it with soap, I find homemade rose water, lavender oil, and lemon grass smells really nice. 😊
I love watching your videos, you are so talented! I just watched this one and would love to try making soap. I was wondering why you chose Stephenson's Personal Care rather than any other brand?
Fab, have fun trying soap making! I went for that one beacause it had loads of positive ratings on Amazon x
Thanks for watching, I hope you have a fab weekend!
@@DaintyDiaries thank you so much for your prompt response! I will be placing my order today. I watch you from Ontario, Canada by the way.
Oh this was delightful to watch, loved how you packaged them at the end. I love ylang ylang and rose together..
Aw, thank you, Natasha! x
I love all of your soaps. Great idea for gifts any time of the years. Thanks for sharing my beautiful friend...Hugs and blessings....MINDY

You are so kind Susan, That means so much to me! Thank you!
Have wanted to make soap for a few years. Your video was a joy to watch and I feel I can try my hand at soap making now. Your instructions were very clear and I like your safety reminders.
I like melt and pour better because I had disabled brothers living with me at the time and they could get into the lye but now I have a baby niece living with me and small dogs too
Me too, I am quite nervous to make a mistake with the lye x
Hi sweet lady,, iam proud of you they came out beautiful. .I do make soaps all the time n I also prefer the melt n pour much faster n no chemicals. .like always beautiful work. Blessings.
Thanks Diane, Thanks so much for watching x x x
I would love to see you give cold processed soap a try! It seems like a complicated process, but honestly it’s just another recipe!! Check out soap queen tv and her lye safety/beginner vids! You have a knack for soaping girl! 😘
I love this video ❤️🤗
You are adorable!!! Thank you for the video. Can't start making my own soap!!
I was just thinking how I could make these and keep them in my own bath! I love these and the little fabric wraps are so pretty for that vintage shabby look!! You're amazing!
Aw, your a sweetheart Sheila, Thanks so much for watching x
I really enjoyed to watch this video. I ordered all the molds and products to start making them already. They look amazing!
Hope you enjoy! Happy soap making! X

Proverbs 31 Women are of the most beautiful 🙏🏾🌹💯
Can you purchase vegan soap base? If so what’s it called?
Catherine How FuN! I read this part of your book now I’m seeing the video and everything just PopS! 😃
Gorgeous idea my girls wud love to do this..be great teacher pressies too!!
Thanks so much for watching Sinead xxx
Hello? Very Nice! What is first white Some? It is soap or what? I dont know?
I purchased a book on Melt & Pour Soap making. One of the equipment was a double boiler. I have not watched/seen anyone use the double boiler. What gives?
Do you still have to allow the soap to cure for 6 weeks when using the quick melt and pour method?
I've really enjoyed watching you. Thank you AND it's so wonderful to hear the Irish lilt 😍
Great video!! How many soap bars can you make with that 2k?
I just love everything you make !! Thank you for showing us how to make the soaps. They turned out absolutely lovely 💕
Have a wonderful Christmas and safe and happy new year. Hope you get lots of gorgeous presents too 🎄😒🎉🎁
Same to you lovely, thank you for all the support on my channel x
Do you have more soap making tutorials
Thanks
you have a great accent and i did not know u were european but u look cute too, i live in canada
I’m making the honeycomb ones for my daughters baby shower! So cute
Hi last comment is not from my husband Joseph McDonnell, must be the way utube is set up on our laptop, but from his wife Carmel, Tks
The last video I watch you were showing us your front lawn with all the clover flowers, I thought then Catherine could make a fortune with those. How could you use them to put in soap. A few years ago I bought a clovers scented soap, imported from France at $10.00 for a brick. It was my favorite soap for a long time, I wonder if they could be used the same as the oat.
Thank you so much for this video! You’ve inspired me to finally start my soap business that I’ve always been thinking of starting! By the way you have beautiful eyes 😊
Best of luck with your soap business ❤️❤️❤️
Dainty Diaries thank you so much xx
I love your video. May i ask when we can use the soap after it made? Cos i heard other people saying after 4 weeks? And some says 2weeks? So i'm confused 😁
They look so fancy. I dont understand why you put some oil inside the mixture? Only melt&pour soup is not enough? Is there any reason for that? :)))
Melt & Pour, IME, isn't necessarily very easy. Even simple designs. It's an art form and one needs knowledge and skill to make it. I do cold & hot process and they seem often easier to me. So I'm glad that you think it's easy, but you might not be giving yourself credit for a degree of skill that is usually one that has to be taught well or developed.
