(Found at Hobby Lobby)⬆

• A couple toothpicks
• A small liquid measuring cup

To start making your soap, prepare your space, so you are quickly able to move from the microwave to your soap molds. Cut a piece of gelatin large enough to fill 1/3 of your mold, remembering that when you microwave your gelatin there will be less than before.

Put your piece of gelatin in a liquid measuring cup, place it in the microwave, and set it to about 15 seconds. Once it has finished melting, quickly move so that you are next to your soap molds.

Next, pour the gelatin into the mold of your choice. DO NEXT STEP IMMEDIATELY AFTER!

As quickly as you can, squeeze your first color bottle until at least 4 drops fall into the melted gelatin. Make sure you don't put similar colors close together, you won't be able to tell the difference. QUICKLY DO NEXT STEP!

Quickly, take your soap scent and drip it a couple of times into the colored mixture.

Now, mix the soap mixture together. Wait at least 15 minutes for the soap to dry.

While your soap is drying, you may cut your next piece of gelatin. It has to be large enough so that there is only one third of the mold left.

DO NOT do this step until the soap has been drying for at least 15 minutes! Now melt the second chunk of gelatin in the microwave for 15 seconds. Quickly pour it on top of the other layer of soap.

Drip at least four drops of your second color into the mixture. DO NEXT STEP QUICKLY!

Next, add a few drops of scent into your second layer of gelatin.

Once your soap scent and color has been dropped into the melted gelatin, very gently stir. DON'T STIR TOO DEEP OR IT WILL SEEP INTO THE FIRST LAYER. Allow the soap to sit for at least 20 minutes.

While your second layer is drying, chop a large enough piece of gelatin so that it will fill up to the top of mold.

After you have waited 20 minutes for the second layer to dry, pour the melted gelatin on top of the second layer of soap. Be careful to not let it overflow! DO THE NEXT STEP!

Now that you poured the melted gelatin into the mold, color it with a few drops of your third color. IMMEDIATELY DO NEXT STEP!

Once you have added the dye, drop a few drips of soap scent into the last layer of melted gelatin.

Stir the last layer of soap mixture, while making sure to not touch the layer underneath. Let the whole mixture in the soap mold sit for an hour on a safe surface, or place it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.

Once your soap has finished drying, set it on your sink or give it to a friend! Hope you enjoyed creating your soap, and hope you enjoy using it in the future!
