Picnic Soap
With summer off to  a glorious start, we are thinking of days spent  
outside even while we are in the Soap Lab. This  cute little bar is reminiscent of 
a picnic  blanket (ants are optional). Scented with our  Grass Stain 
fragrance and colored with  Non-Bleeding Cherry and Liquid Green Oxide,  we've 
captured the essence of summer in one  little bar of soap!

ONE: Melt 10 ounces of Clear Melt & Pour  on 30 second bursts in the 
microwave, stirring between  bursts. Once the soap is fully melted, split in two 5 
 ounce batches. 
TWO: Color each batch, one with 3 drops  Non-Bleeding Cherry, one with 2 
drops Liquid Green  Oxide and two drops Citrus Green LabColor. Mix color  in 
well and once the soap has cooled to 130 degrees,  pour each batch into a 
Brownie Tray Mold and spray  with Isopropyl Alcohol to pop any bubbles. Allow 
to  fully harden. If using just one tray allow to set-up,  peel the soap out 
and re-melt and pour the other  color.   
THREE: While the green and cherry soaps are  hardening, melt 6 ounces of 
White Melt & Pour on  30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between  
bursts. When fully melted, add 3 mL of Grass Stain  fragrance oil and mix well. 
When the soap cools to 130  degrees, pour one ounce of White Melt & Pour 
into  each cavity (you will use 6) of your Square Silicone  Mold and spray 
with Isopropyl Alcohol to pop any  bubbles. Allow to fully harden.  

FOUR: While the white soap is hardening,  unmold and cut the cherry-colored 
soap into strips,  varying in width but no wider than 1/4” each. If you’d  
prefer a more uniform look, measure each strip  exactly, otherwise this 
step is totally fine to  eyeball. Once all of the strips are cut, cut each  
strip into 2 1/4” lengths (you should be able to get 3  lengths per strip). 
Unmold and cut the green colored  soap and cut into strips that are 3/4” wide 
each. Cut  opposite angles, on one side of the green soap strip,  at random 
intervals to mimic the look of grass. 
FIVE: Once the white soap has fully  hardened, arrange green grass strips 
along the four  walls of the square cavities with the pointy sides up.  For 
the best fit, cut each of the strips as you go.  Once all of the grass strips 
are arranged in the  cavities, melt 16 ounces of Clear Melt & Pour  base. 
When fully melted, add 10 mL of Grass Stain  fragrance oil and mix well.  
SIX: When the clear soap is 125 F or less,  liberally spray the space 
between the grass with  Isopropyl Alcohol and fill about 1/2 way with clear  soap 
to secure the strips (you’ll have some clear soap  left over). Spray again 
with Isopropyl Alcohol to pop  any bubbles. Allow the clear soap to fully 
harden.  

SEVEN: Liberally spray 36 cherry strips with  Isopropyl Alcohol. Arrange 
six strips horizontally in  each cavity, and pour a thin layer of clear soap 
over  them (you may have to reheat it a bit but be sure it  is just 125 F or 
less). Spray with Isopropyl Alcohol  to pop any bubbles and allow to harden. 
Once the clear  soap has hardened, liberally spray another 36 cherry  
strips with Isopropyl Alcohol and arrange six strips  vertically in each cavity. 
Pour the remaining clear  soap over the strips and spray with Isopropyl 
Alcohol  to pop any bubbles. 
optional: After you’ve poured the  final layer of clear soap, stick novelty 
plastic ants  that have been sprayed with Isopropyl Alcohol into the  top. 
It’s okay if they don’t sink into the soap all  the way; it adds interest 
if they don’t! Spray entire  soap surface with Isopropyl Alcohol to pop any  
bubbles. 
EIGHT: Once the soaps have fully hardened,  unmold and wrap as soon as 
possible to avoid glycerin  dew.
