Green Beer & Clover Loaf Soap Recipe

Weigh .5 lbs. clear soap and cut up into chunks. Place in glass measuring cup. Heat in microwave or double boiler until melted. Stir soap to make sure it is completely melted.

Add about 1/2 tsp. of matte green liquid color to melted soap. Stir well. If darker shade is desired, add more liquid color.

Pour soap into small heart cavity. Spritz tops of cavitiy with alcohol to dissolve any air bubbles. Set aside and let soap harden at room temperature.

Once soap has hardened, gently press on bottom of cavity. You will see soap start to release and pull away from sides. Once soap is pushed up far enough, grab hold and gently pull remaining soap out of cavity.

Repeat this process 3 more times until you have 4 sets of heart tubes.

Connect the first 2 small tube heart soaps by dipping one end in heated soap of the same color. Hold the dipped ends of 2 heart tubes together until the soap solidifies. This binds them into one long tube. Repeat this process with the other two heart tubes. Using a dropper, drop some extra melted green soap between the two halves for extra stability.

Repeat step 6 with the remaining two long heart tubes. Then place the two double soap tubes together to form a four leaf clover and drop some of the melted green soap between the two halves holding them until the soap solidifies.
