Directions
  1. Ask an adult to cut glycerin soap bar into 2 or 3 squares, and place these in measuring cup. Microwave for about 20 seconds or until melted.
  2. Remove measuring cup from microwave. If you want color, add a few drops of soap dye to the melted soap and stir with a spoon. Add more dye for darker color. If liquid starts to harden, microwave until melted again.
  3. Slowly pour the melted soap into a mold. Set it aside to harden for about an hour.
  4. Rinse out the measuring cup and repeat the steps for other colors and molds.
  5. After soap is cooled and hard, pop it out of the mold. If you have trouble getting it out, try putting the soap and mold in the freezer for 10 minutes, then try again.
