Instructions
Step 1
Make Christmas soap. Purchase special Christmas tree-shaped soap-making molds or use small children's sandbox toys. Prepare a soap base, add oil, fragrance and green dye to it. Gently pour in the semi-finished product, cool, remove and dry. Choose a larger shape, for example, rectangular, so that the tree fits completely in it. Place the tree in the middle. Prepare a blue (or any other) soap base, pour gently into a large mold so that its layer covers half the height of the Christmas tree. Cool, weld the base for the second layer, it can be made transparent.
Step 2
Use natural soap fillers - dried chamomile tea bags, ground coffee, brewed green tea, flower petals. Pour dry flowers or leaves with a glass of boiling water, leave for 10-15 minutes, drain the water, blot with a napkin. Place in a soap dish. Melt the transparent soap base, add essential oil, vitamin E and other ingredients to it. Pour the steamed ingredients in the liquid foundation. Cool it down. Do not use rose inflorescences and petals as a natural filling; when steamed, they lose their red color and become dirty gray.
Step 3
Use a colored soap base left over from previous soap making. Pour it into a flat-bottomed dish, cool, cut into cubes or diamonds. Also pour a small amount onto cling film, cool, but not until completely hardened. Roll into a loose roll. Slice to make spirals. Put the colored blanks in the mold in a random order, melt the transparent base, add all the "cosmetic" ingredients, for example, glycerin, honey, apricot kernel oil. Pour into a mold, cool.
