NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet and latex gloves. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace. - To a microwave safe-measuring cup, add 5.90 oz. of cut up clear MP soap and 0.10 oz. of white MP soap. Heat in microwave until melted.

- Once completely hard, unmold soap and set aside.
- Repeat steps 1-3 two more times.
- To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 6 oz. of clear MP soap. Heat in microwave until melted.
- Add banana boat yellow mica powder. Stir completely.
- Pour soap to fill fruit slices mold and allow soap to harden completely.
- Once soap is hard, unmold.
- Pour the remaining yellow soap into mold. (Soap may need to be reheated.)
- Once soap is hard, unmold and set aside for later.
- To beaker, mix fragrance and stabilizer and allow to sit for two minutes.
- Add 29 oz. of cut up clear soap to a large microwave safe-measuring cup. Heat until melted, stirring occasionally so that the soap does not overheat.
- Add strawberry color and fragrance mixture and stir completely.
- Pour just enough soap to cover the bottom of the tall & skinny loaf mold.
- Use a ruler and place the first straw* ½” inch from the edge of the mold into the melted soap
and space the next straws each 1” apart. - Once bottom layer of soap is hardened and straws are secured, spritz with alcohol and pour another inch of pink soap.
- Grab a handful of cube soaps and spritz with alcohol. Add soap cubes until layer of pink soap is covered.
- Spray next layer with alcohol and pour more pink soap.
- Spray four citrus slice soaps with rubbing alcohol and add to pink soap.
- Add more ice cube soaps, sprayed with rubbing alcohol, until layer is covered.
- Repeat steps 17-20 until mold is full and slightly overflowing with ice cube soaps. Save eight citrus slice soaps and a small amount of pink soap for the top.
- After spraying the top of the soap with alcohol, pour the small remaining amount pink soap over top.
- Spritz citrus soaps and place in line with each of the eight straws. Allow soap to completely harden.
- Carefully remove soap from mold. Slice into bars.
