My name is Taylor. I will be assisting Andee, the blog mistress, in sharing with you the coolest projects, new processes and more. I love to read, garden, cook, and overall, have a good time. I am looking forward to learning and sharing with you on this blog. Now, back to soap curls. My favorite!
Soap Curls. Wow! Where should I begin? Soap curls are fun, elegant and most of all, simple! They are used as adornments in bars of soap. They can also be used as quick one time-use soap like the soap petals made yesterday. They are adorable!
You will need:
Vegetable peeler
Pre-poured bar of melt and pour soap
Make your soap. You will need to select a mold that will give you a bar the height of your desired curls. Color and fragrance soap as desired. Allow to firm completely. Look at your beautiful soap! Now we are ready to make our curls.
Hold your bar of soap in one hand. Run the vegetable peeler along a flat side of your bar of soap. The soap will begin to curl. The thinner you peel your soap, the more it will curl. Do not put excessive pressure on the peeler. You do not want to injure yourself.
If you want to show more color, you can stripe or swirl your soap curls bar of soap. You can make event specific curls by the colors you use. You can make orange curls for Halloween, green for Saint Patricks, or blue for the Fourth of July. Just make sure you use a pigment for coloring your soap. Dyes will migrate through your finished soap. Have fun! Your imagination is the limit!
Don’t miss making soap cutouts tomorrow and how to place curls and cutouts on Thursday and Friday of this week.
