Rainbow Soap Making

I made this rainbow cold process soap using the sculpted layers technique. I apologize for misspelling Claudia's name! I checked everything but still missed it. Thanks so much for watching!

The Sculpted Layers technique was created by Claudia Carpenter of Om Nom Soap. Claudia was the guest instructor for the Soap Challenge Club's sculpted layer technique challenge. She makes the most incredible soaps (not just sculpted, but all kinds of amazing creations).

All of the leftover soap was saved and used for embeds and confetti soaps.

In order to sculpt the soap, each layer is either brought to a thicker trace and/or has clay added that causes the soap to thicken quickly (you’ll see me do it both ways in the video depending on what kind of layer I’m pouring).

If you use those links to buy anything, it won’t cost you anything extra, but I will receive a very small percentage of the sale. Every little bit helps, though, so thank you very much if you do! :)
