Want to make quick and easy melt and pour Easter Egg soaps? We just used left over soap bases that we had on hand. The amounts used will vary and if you melt too much just pour it back into the original container.
What you will need;
Clear Melt and Pour soap base
White Melt and Pour soap base
Egg Mini Cookie Cutter
Scent- Optional
Soap Cutter - straight edge. Or butter knife
Soap Cutter - wavy edge
Oval Silicone Soap Mold
IsoPropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in a spray bottle
Craft stick, spoon or spatula
1)To make this as simple as possible we just stuck the egg cutter into the white soap base. We then used the straight edge cutter or butter knife to cut around the egg and slice off the part that was hanging over the edge of the egg. Push it out of the cutter and you have the egg.

4) Cut into small cubes with your soap cutter or butter knife. We used about 1/8 of the entire 2 pound package (4oz) to make two soaps. Place in microwave safe bowl.

| Cut Into Chunks about 1" |

| Place Chunks in Microwave Bowl |
5)Heat in microwave for 10 second intervals. Stirring in-between. Usually take 10-20 seconds depending on the size of your soap chunks.
Soap base does not need to be all of the way melted when you remove it from the microwave. It will continue to melt if there are just a few chunks.
At this point you add scent if you like. About a quarter teaspoon (5 drops) per bar. Stir with a craft stick, spoon or spatula.
Squirt egg embed with isopropyl alcohol so that the parts stick. Make sure clear base is not too warm. You do not want to melt your egg. Pour clear soap base around egg.
