I decided to make my soaps in the Happy Holiday Theme Mold; this will be perfect to put into small baskets.

I started with smaller chunks of the Melt and Pour soap, roughly the size of a softball (not necessarily softball shaped) and placed in a large pot on the stove set at medium heat until all melted.

I measured out 12 ounces of soap into a microwave safe container. This allowed me to fill 3 cavities on the themed mold that I chose. Whatever container you choose to use you will need to do a little calculation to determine the amount of soap to use.

Once the melt and pour soap was melted I added Check the Fragrance Calculator for specific amounts , I used 5ml of Vanilla Hazelnut fragrance oil to my soap and mixed well before pouring into the mold. Wow, that was easy!
