We had a blast celebrating Ryan's 10th birthday with a weekend getaway at the chalet and BBQ with some close friends and family :)
This year's party theme was "Kamen Rider 000" of the famous Japanese Masked Rider series - we decided that Kamen Rider soap favours are thus a MUST for all our party guests.
It is great fun to make your own soapy party favours to compliment the party theme. Below are the ingredients needed to make approximately 22 pieces of 3oz customised soap bars.
Ingredients :-
6oz Clear Melt & Pour soap base
68oz White Melt & Pour soap base
51ml Choice of skin-safe fragrance oil - Ryan chose Yuzu which is a sparkling fresh citrus.
2 sheets of Water Soluble paper
Equipment needed :-
microwave oven-safe pitchers
spoon (for stirring)
soap cutter
digital scales
soap mold (we used individual soap molds for each soap bar)
Rubbing Alcohol (in a bottle with spray nozzle)
Microwave
Thermometer
Directions :-
1) Print Kamen Rider images onto Water Soluble paper using a colour laser printer. Cut out the images to fit the soap mold.
2) Use soap cutter to cut soap bases into 1-2 inch pieces. Do not use a knife as the soap is slippery and the knife could slip and cause injury.
3) Melt clear melt & pour soap base in a microwave-safe pitcher at 20 sec intervals. Repeat until soap is completely melted.
4) Pour a thin layer of melted clear soap base into each soap mold. (This should cover the entire base of the mold)
7) Add 15ml of fragrance oil to melted white soap base and stir until the fragrance oil is fully incorporated.
8) Allow the melted white soap to cool below 124°F.
9) Pour melted white soap into mold, to approximately 0.5cm from the top of the mold. This will make it easier to unmold and release the soap when ready.
10) Spray with rubbing alcohol to remove air bubbles and allow to harden.
11) When the soap bars have returned to room temperature and hardened, remove from the molds and wrap in cling wrap. Pull tight for extra clarity and to remove plastic wrap ripples.
