Directions:

NOTE:  If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask.  We also recommend a clean workspace and apron.

1. Cut 2.4 oz. of Ultra White Soap into small pieces.
2. Add 0.4 oz. of white soap to six different beakers.
3. Microwave one beaker of soap in five-second increments until melted. Be careful not to overheat the soap.
4. Add 2 drops of the first color and mix into soap. Fill one bubble in each cavity with soap. Spritz with rubbing alcohol.  
5. Repeat above steps for all six Stained Glass colors.
6. In a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 4 oz. of cut up Extra Clear soap base and 0.50 oz. of Ultra White soap base. Heat in microwave until melted.
7. In a small beaker, add 1 teaspoon of glycerin and ¼ teaspoon of Matte Woodland Green Pigment Powder. Mix well until powder is completely mixed. 
8. Add the green color to melted soap along with 3 ml of Valencia EO & FO Blend. Mix well.
9. Pour the green soap into the short loaf silicone mold. This soap will be grated once it has hardened.   
10. Unmold soap. Cut the soap in half and grate one half using a cheese grater or salad shooter. Set the other half aside for later. 
11. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 10 oz. of cut up Extra Clear soap. Microwave in 30-second increments until melted. 
12. Add 9 ml of Valencia EO & FO blend to the soap and mix well.
13. When soap has cooled to below 130°F, spritz "eggs" generously with rubbing alcohol. 
14. Pour a thin layer of clear soap in each mold cavity. This ensures that the “eggs” properly adhere to the rest of the soap bar.
15. Liberally spritz the shredded green soap with rubbing alcohol.
16. Spritz the thin layer of clear soap and loosely place the shredded green soap into each mold cavity.
17. Pour the remaining clear soap into each mold cavity, leaving at least 1/8 inch at the top and allow to harden.
18. Cut up the remaining green soap from Step 10 and place in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Heat in microwave until melted. 
19. Spritz the top of the hardened soap with rubbing alcohol. When soap has cooled to 125°F, fill the mold cavities to the top with the green soap. Spritz with alcohol and allow soap to harden. 
20. Unmold the soap. If difficult to unmold, place the mold in the freezer for 30 minutes and try again.
21. Wrap each bar of soap in plastic wrap to prevent glycerin dew.
22. Label product accordingly.

To Use: Lather onto wet skin and rinse off with warm water.
