Embedded Word Soap

Project designed by Anne-Marie Faiola.

Materials:

mold
small plastic lip balm case
paper and pen
clear melt and pour base (Stephenson brand)
glass Pyrex measuring cup
microwave or double boiler
alcohol in spritzer bottle

1. Write a secret message or fortune on your paper and place it into your lip balm container. Make sure this is tightly sealed.

2. Melt your soap base for one to two minutes in the microwave using a microwave safe container that pours. Pour just enough to fill the bottom of your mold.

3. Insert your lip balm container with your message into the soap.

4. Pour a second layer of soap on top of the first layer. If your lip balm container rises slightly, simply press it down so it is centered in the soap.

5. Let your soap sit overnight so it will hard enough to pop out easily.
