Embedding Objects in Soaps
Make your objects to embed, following melt and pour instructions. Do not freeze them let them dry naturally
Cut them into the shapes you desire or pop them out of their molds; if you wish to store them, make sure you store them in an airtight container since melt and pour has a high percentage of water in it and the water will evaporate out
Melt your base; check your temperature is it steaming? This is too hot. If you cant stick your finger in without it burning, stir and wait for it to cool.
Pour your base into the mold. Dont fill all the way to the top (since youll be adding objects to embed).
Spritz your embedding objects with alcohol (to cut down on the oils from your skin and to help adhesion) Spritz the top of your base in the mold with alcohol to cut down on surface tension
Spritz the top of the soap for any excess air bubbles.
