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 apron and workspace.

1. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 10 oz. of cut up Extra Clear Soap Base and 1/2 of the  Green Soap Color Cube. Heat in microwave until the soap has melted. Stir until color is incorporated.  
2. Pour soap into the loaf mold. Spritz top of soap with rubbing alcohol to release any surface bubbles.
3. Once soap has completely hardened, remove from silicone mold. Grate the entire piece of green soap with a cheese grater. Set soap shavings aside.
4. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add another 10 oz. of cut up Extra Clear Soap along with 1/4 of the Green Soap Color Cube.  Heat in microwave until soap has melted.
5. In a plastic beaker, mix together 8.5 ml of Sugared Spruce Fragrance Oil with 4.25 ml of Vanilla Color Stabilizer for MP Soap. Mix well and let sit for 2 minutes. Add to melted green soap, pour into mold and let harden. 
6. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 20 oz. of cut up Ultra White Soap. Heat in microwave until melted.
7. In a plastic beaker, mix 20 ml of fragrance oil with 10 ml of Vanilla Color Stabilizer for MP Soap. Let sit for 2 minutes then add to melted white soap. Blend in well.
8. When the soap temperature is at or below 125°F, spritz green soap generously with rubbing alcohol, and pour a small layer of white soap on top. Spritz a handful of green soap shreds with alcohol and place into mold. Pour a little more white soap and follow with more alcohol-spritzed green soap shreds. Continue until all the white soap has been poured. There will be soap shreds remaining which will be used for the top layer. Let soap completely harden.  
9. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 8 oz. of cut up Extra Clear Soap.Heat in microwave until melted.
10. Mix together 7 ml of fragrance oil and 3.5 ml of vanilla stabilizer. Let sit for 2 minutes then add to melted clear soap.
11. When the soap temperature has cooled to125°F, spritz top of white soap and a handful of the remaining green soap shreds well with alcohol. Place soap shreds on top of white soap.
12. Pour some clear soap over the shreds and continue to layer more shreds and clear soap until the loaf is completely filled. It is okay to leave some soap shreds sticking out of the top of the loaf. 
13. Spritz top of soap with alcohol and then sprinkle some Iridescent Sparkle Glitter on the top.  
14. Set loaf aside to completely harden.
15. Carefully remove soap from mold and slice loaf into 1 inch slices, using a mitre box, if available.
16. Package as desired.
