- Welcome to my watermelon soapmaking adventure! In this video, I'll share my experience creating a summery watermelon soap using the Tiger Stripe, Mini Drop Swirl, and Embed techniques. This video is packed with valuable tips and tricks. I'll reveal the secrets to achieving a flawless soap by telling you how to mix titanium dioxide effectively, preventing those pesky specks and streaks. You'll also learn about the mysterious soda ash formation and discover methods to minimize its occurrence. I'll dive into a fascinating discussion about the amount of filler/carrier present in neons and micas colorants. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions when selecting your colorants usage rates.
Join me in this incredible soap-making journey inspired by the June 2023 Soap Challenge Club. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Amy Warden and the Soap Challenge Club for hosting and to Custom Craft Tool for sponsoring the Challenge.

I love that you shared the combo tip on mixing Black Raspberry Vanilla with Cucumber Melon to make a passable Watermelon scent that doesnt discolor! Thank you so much!
Thank you; I was exicted to learn that too!🍉✨

You are such a perfectionist! amazing. i'm so messy! lol
Glad to see you've started posting again. It was worth the wait.
Hey, thanks!😊
I've missed your videos...so glad you're back! Pretty soap.
Oh, thanks so much!!
Oh I kinda liked the watermelon slices sticking out the top slightly! And then it was planed off, ha. This way is probably way easier to use though. ❤
Love this design 🍉
Thank you! 😊
Great video! I love your soap. Kinda want it as a wallpaper. Lol. Even if you didn't plane the soap, it had a cool 3D effect with the watermelon.
Thanks so much! Other said that too. I wanted it to fit in my boxes, though.😊🍉💕
You rock, girl! Yet again you managed to surpass mere awesomeness. Thank you sharing your work!

I've been watching your channel from S.Ont for 4 yrs... you are an amazingly talented artist and formulator... #goals
So cute!! I bet it smells amazing ❤
It does! Thank you!💕🍉
Gorgeous! Always love your videos! 💗 You are always so informative and I love your precision!
Wow, look at that lather! Thanks for showing that. Cool design.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Kim!💕
This is the best watermelon soap I have seen.
Wow, really! Thanks so much!😊💕
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create a stunning watermelon 🍉 soap. What I did appreciate was the tips on improving the quality of your micas or other powdered colourants in your soap by mixing it the way you do. The hints are an important part of growing with your application of your ingredients. Thank you for the help you've given me and so many others.🍉 🏆🤩🤩
Bello
Thanks for saying so, Barbara! Glad it was helpful!😊💕
Thank you for another great video. I love these watermelon soaps, such a novel idea!
Hey, Linda, great to see you on here! Thank you! This design was so fun to make. It has such summery fun vibes!💗🍉💕
So good to see you back. Beautiful soap and colours. You detail is spot on. I learnt all my good soap making habits from your videos so thank you again.
My pleasure, Christine!🔥💕
It's a very pretty soap. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much, Paty!
You are a true soap scientist and artist!!
Thanks so much; I love learning, and diving deeper!🔥💕
Lovely soap (very complicated maths!) I loved the raised texture of the watermelon above the base turquoise and then you planed it off 😭 Still looks amazing though!
You can learn the math. Lol; oh no! The turquoise was not flat, and the melons wouldn't have fit in my boxes. Thank you!😊💕
Love this soap. It sounds so technical, but you make it look easy. I have no idea about the math, and percentages, it baffles me. Thanks for sharing your talent and again, this is an awesome looking soap. You never disappoint. 🤩 You are still the only person I have seen who fills in the holes to make sure everything looks perfect.
Lol, I thought of you when I was filling the holes. I'm glad you like it. It is enjoyable and satisfying to my and it makes a lot of difference in the look of the bar. Thanks for noticing!😊💕🍉
I think the soap looked also quite cool with the watermelon sticking out
The whole 29 minute mark is poster child for phenomal artistry. Phenomenal.
Wow, thanks so much! 💖
I really enjoy your videos, Teri! Thank you for sharing your technique and calculations!
I'm glad your are finding it helpful! Thanks for watching!🍉
I just saw this video. The soap is so darn cute, it inspired me to try another watermelon soap this year. Something different. Thank you for sharing your process. Your commitment to detail is amazing! With that said, I was wondering what color combo you used for the background? Is it the Synergy with TD?
So beautiful! You are a true master!
Aww...thanks so much!😘
Thank you for this wonderful video. I adore your channel! Your creativity and ability to walk us through the difference aspects/challenges of your soap creation bring me joy. Hopefully, this creation will be available for purchase in the future (once it cures).
Thank you so much, Rosalinda! Yes, when it's cured!🍉
I love this.do you still have any of this soap left
Was looking for any inspiration, that’s the soap to do I’m in love thank you for sharing, would you please tell me where I can get that mold of individual cavities?
Your bars always turn out so beautiful! Question....When I get about half way through my soap bars (that I make) they go soft and gooey why would that be?
Are you letting it drain and dry out in-between uses? How long are you curing your bars? Also, if you are using soapcalc, What is the ratio in the upper right corner of saturated to unsaturated fatty acid? You can up the amount of saturated fats to make a harder bar. It's better to up the palmitic and stearic acids rather than the lauric and myristic acids, so it won't be drying. Palm oil, lard, cocoa butter, and shea butter are high in palmitic and stearic acids.
Which colors did you use in soaps and do you use any fragrance in soaps.
if its ok to ask i just unmolded a batch of turmeric soap beautiful and smooth all around sat for two days in the mold but once i started cutting it looked sort of wet in the inside and somewhat crumbly when cutting can you tell me what might have happened first time this has ever happened , have made quite a bit of soap before this
This is such a cute, fun soap! Thanks for another great video! How do you decide on your colour scheme?
Thank you! 🍉 I get inspiration all over the place, fabric design, print media design, nature, product packaging...
Do you provide any course for step by step soap making for beginners Iike me? I want to learn from the scratch
I have a question, why do you mix it on the glass instead of the bowl?
Beautiful soap!! 💞
Soda ash is the result of the sodium hydroxide reacting to the oxygen in the air. To minimize soda ash, keep your soap covered until it reaches that dull look loosing the shiny look. Spray the soap with either 91 or 99% RA, fan it manually to help that disappate and then cover again to oven process. The heat of oven processing will also prevent soda ash from forming but be sure it stays covered until it cools down. Of course you can quickly take a peak but keep it covered. Best way is to let it sit covered over night or until it's room temperature and no longer actively saponifying.
Thanks for sharing your technique, well done!!
Thank you!😊💕
Why are you doing soap making videos without showing ingredients quantity
This was my enrty for the Soap Challenge, and I am showing my experience. You can use any slow-moving recipe. I share the recipes with enough information to put them into soapcalc in many of my earlier videos. Please check the descriptions.
Too much narrative.
Thanks for the feedback. Are you a soap maker?
@@TreeMarieSoapworks yes, but your work is good.
