450gm	SFIC Low Sweat Clear
4-5 drops	Liquid Soap Dye or Food Colouring (we used orange, red & green)
10ml	Essential oil or fragrance of choice

Equipment

Soap Mould – Square, 6 Cavity or mould of choice

Heat resistant jug

Spatula

Pipette

Microwave or double boiler

Knife/Chopping Board

Method

With your pipette place small drops (4-5 drops) of the liquid dye into the bottom of the mould, spread them out with a toothpick.
Cut up soap block into small cubes and melt in a pyrex jug in the microwave (for 1min then stir and continue in 30sec bursts until melted) or in a double boiler until liquid. Do not let the soap boil.
Measure out fragrance. Keep gently stirring the soap base so as to avoid a skin forming on top. Add the fragrance mixture and mix well.
Pour soap into the first mould and swirl once or twice with a toothpick until you see the colours swirling, repeat with all the other moulds. Spritz with isopropyl alcohol if you have to pop bubbles and ensure smooth top. Leave to set for around 3-4hrs and gently unmould.
