A Very Cheap Soap Mold from Hobby Lobby

Pics of my latest soap. Island Escape (because I used Island Escape fragrance oil). It isn't coming out the color I had hoped for. Can't see any pink or orange/yellow, just the usual color of yellow-green. The pic of the single cut bar of soap is Cucumber Spearmint and has real cucumber in it, but it looks a lot like my Island Escape, with has no cucumber in it. Back to the drawing board of natural soap colors.

FYI, this "Soap Mold" was an unfinished rectangular box from Hobby Lobby. It's around 13" long and retail price is $6.99 and with the 40% off coupon it was $4.20. I removed the top and hardware and it's almost the same size as one of the $40 wooden soap loaf molds. I line it with freezer paper, put a one inch ribbon between the freezer paper and the wooden box, and use it to pull the soap up and out. Easy Peasy.  This mold holds 44 oz.

I love my 2 grandsons and reading. I like traveling but the only place I go any more is Colorado. Maybe after I move to Colorado I'll travel to other places.
