Step 4 Part 1: Let your new layer of soap cool for 20 minutes. Once cool, cut up 3-4 cups of your white soap into 1″ chunks, and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals until just melted. Stir to make sure all the pieces are melted, and then add in a few drops of your fragrance oil.

Supplies: clear & white melt and pour soap, non-bleeding colorants (you will need at least 2 for the gradient effect), rectangular silicone soap mould, fragrance oil, spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol microwave safe bowl, spoon and knife, slim book to use as a riser

Step 1: Cut up 1/2 cup of clear soap and melt it for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Stir and microwave again if needed to just melt the soap but don’t let it boil. Add your colorant (I used a tiny sliver of a solid block colorant, but a few drops of liquid colorant also works), and stir to combine.

Step 2: Tip your mold up using a slim book on each end, and pour your soap into 1 side of each rectangle mold until it reaches about 3/4 of the way to other side. Now spray rubbing alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles and smooth out soap. Repeat the rest of your soap and mould cavities. Let soap cool for 20 mins.

Step 3: Repeat melting and coloring step with another 1/2 cup of clear soap and new color. Remove book riser from under mold, spritz the soap with more rubbing alcohol, and pour in your next color on the opposite side of the first color until it comes about 3/4 of the way up on the first color.

Step 4 part 2: Spritz the gradient soap in the mold with more rubbing alcohol and pour on your white soap until it reaches the top of the mold. Let this white soap cool over night or for at least a few hours.

Step Five: It’s time to unmold your DIY gradient soap bars! WOW!

My dad's nickname was MacGyver when we were kids. He'd hijack my projects all the time. When I got older, he would not do it as much... but he would just end up hijacking the whole thing. You should see the look in his eyes when he gets to create stuff.
