Step 1

Assemble the Star Column Silicone Mold and the Tree Column Silicone Mold making sure all sides are firmly linked together. Place mold on a cookie sheet to give it stability and also to catch any soap should it leak out. Prop sides of molds against something solid to keep molds from falling over.

Step 2

STAR: Cut up 7.5 oz. clear soap and place in microwave-safe measuring cup. Add 1/4-1/2 of gold mica color bar. Heat in microwave until soap has melted.

Step 3

When soap has cooled to 125°F, pour into star column mold. Pouring soap too hot will cause the mold to bow. Spritz top of melted soap with alcohol to release any bubbles.

Step 4

TREE: Cut up 15 oz. clear soap and place in microwave-safe measuring cup. Add 1/2 Crimson Red mica color block and heat in microwave until melted.

Step 5

Add 0.45 oz. Very Merry Cranberry Fragrance Oil and mix to incorporate.

Step 6

When soap has cooled to 125°F, pour red soap into tree column mold. Spritz top of melted soap with alcohol to release any bubbles. Let soap completely harden.

Step 7

To remove soap, pull sides apart and carefully remove soap from mold. Trim any excess soap from the sides of the tree or star with a soap cutter or a potato peeler.

Step 8

Place Tall & Skinny loaf mold on cookie sheet.

Step 9

To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 24 oz. cut up goat milk soap. Heat in microwave until melted.

Step 10

Add 0.70 oz. of fragrance and 1 tsp. super sparkle glitter and mix well.

Step 11

When soap has cooled to 125°F, pour enough soap into mold to cover the bottom.

Step 12

Spritz the entire tree heavily with alcohol. Place tree down into the mold. Slowly pour more soap around the tree. Gently tap the mold on the counter between pours to release any air bubbles. Pour soap just to top of tree.

Step 13

Spritz star with alcohol and place on top of the tree. Pour remaining soap around the star up to the top of the mold. The star will be sticking up out of the mold. Spritz, again, to remove any bubbles. Let soap completely harden.

Step 14

When completely set, gently pull sides away from soap. Turn mold over and gently push from bottom until loaf releases.

Step 15

Place loaf in mitre box (if available) and cut up into 1" slices. Wrap in plastic wrap.

Step 16

Label product accordingly.
