The String Pull Technique for Soap Making.

In this video I make soap with the string pull technique. I really love this simple yet beautiful technique to dress up the soap a little bit.

I have been experimenting quite a bit with the string pull technique in the last few months. I have tried pulling the string in different ways, using several colors at once and also applying soap batter with a squeeze bottle instead of dipping the string in soap batter. I have found that pulling the string like I originally did in my first video produces the best results for me. So that is what I decided to do for these activated charcoal bars. I like this technique on a darker colored soap, I think the contrast shows up much better than with a light background. Have you tried this technique yet? :-)
