I had a big day of soaping last week using bright bright LabColors and fruity fragrances. When I was done with my project I had 5 different containers of colored soap left over. Then the light bulb went off- Swirl it! I used the swirling technique from this Soap Queen TV episode and had no idea how my impromptu soap was going to turn out (I was just trying to use up my left over, colored soap in a timely fashion).
I unmolded my "masterpiece" and was tickled pink (and purple and blue and green) after cutting my first slice. It's bright, colorful, happy and smells of fresh and fruity goodness!
Here are the LabColors I used if you want to make your own Rainbow Loaf: Brilliant Blue, Fuchsia, Canary, Tropical Purple, Green Apple. I poured a thin layer of white between colors and used Bramble Berry's plastic Loaf Mold.The colors will most likely bleed over time and create more of a tie-dye effect but they'll still be fun and it's a great way to use up scraps.
Check out some other swirly melt and pour soaps for inspiration!
