vitamins E and A, 1 drop each;
essential oil Lemon, 2 drops;
Pine essential oil, 1 drop;

Let's cut the transparent base into cubes. Then we put it in a water bath to melt.

The plastic mold must be greased with oil. Otherwise, the soap will not come out of it. We take any oil.

To dilute the dry pigment, we need grape base oil, in it (about a tablespoon), rub the dye with a teaspoon until smooth. When the base is liquid, pour it into a glass.

We drip so much dye into it to get a beautiful one green color for our future Christmas tree soap. Add glitter, also as you like, essential oils... We mix.

Pour the base into the mold and spray the surface with alcohol. This is to get the air bubbles out of the soap.

Let the soap harden. At room temperature, it will take half an hour - forty minutes, because the soap is small. Now we begin to take it out of the mold. She does not bend. Therefore, you should take it down with soap and press from above with your fingers on the mold in the center so that the soap separates from it. When you see that it began to move away from the walls, move to the edges. Do this carefully so as not to damage the shape. Thus, we have coped with the task and our soap has been taken out.

Now we need to outline the outline and decorations for our Christmas tree. To do this, take a gold-colored mother-of-pearl. Dip your fingertip in it and walk over the bumps of the soap. We get such beauty.

Today I want to introduce you to Nadezhda Uskova , she soap master... According to her master class we will do today herringbone soap.

We need to make soap self made:
1 - Nadezhda Crystal OV olive transparent base - 100 gr.
2 - matte base - white Crystal WST - 20-30 gr.
3 - pearlescent and matte green pigments.
4 - alcohol or glycerin (for diluting pigments) 1/2 tsp.
5 - essential oils - ate - 5 drops, pine - 5 drops, sweet orange - 6 drops.
6 - alcohol - for sprinkling the layers of soap.

Mix dry pigments matte and pearlescent, grind very well with glycerin so that not one lump remains.

We take a small piece and heat it in a microwave oven in a small container. You can use small measuring cups, wine glasses, etc. First, sprinkle the mold with alcohol, so that the base spreads over it better. Pick up the melted base with a syringe or pipette and make a snowball on our Christmas trees. This is how it should turn out.

And for the convenience of pouring, Nadezhda put the molds on plastic jars. Now we cut again soap base into pieces and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Nadezhda did not add the base oil as she used an olive base.

The base is melted, add the dye and mix.

We are waiting for the base to cool down a little and add essential oils ...

Sprinkle with alcohol again and fill the green base.

We do not fill in the second form completely, it is clearly visible in the photo.

Everyone is now waiting for our soap to harden, then we remove the excess from the first form with a knife so that back side the soap was even.

If the green base is over, then you need to cook a small portion. Spray both forms with alcohol and pour into the second form to the brim. Quickly take the first shape and put it on the molten base, making sure that the edges match.

If you want to freeze quickly, put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. And now the most interesting moment, we take it out of the mold and clean up all the uneven edges.

This will be wonderful gift for the New Year, you can present it to your friends and acquaintances.

And what if these Christmas trees are connected, I have two molds and ....! Then probably everyone has already guessed that I decided to make one Christmas tree out of two Christmas tree shapes! I was delighted with my idea, especially since I wanted to try to make a voluminous Christmas tree for a long time!
Today I want to tell you how you can make such a Christmas tree. I have a lot of Christmas tree shapes, but it's a pity that there are only two identical ones!

V my recipe: Crystal OV olive transparent base -100 g
matte base - Crystal WST white - 20-30 g
pigments green matte and pearlescent - depending on the intensity of the color
glycerin or alcohol (for diluting pigments) - 1/2 tsp.
essential oils - spruce - 5k., pine - 5k., sweet orange - 6k.
alcohol - for sprinkling layers of soap

And so, we collect the necessary ingredients:

Dry pigments, I mixed matte and pearlescent, rub thoroughly with glycerin or alcohol so that there are no lumps left.

We heat a piece of white base in a microwave oven in a small container, I used a small measuring cup.

It was presented to me for my active participation in the life of the World of Soap forum, it is very convenient, in order to melt a small amount of the base.

Now I want to buy a couple more!)

With a pipette or syringe, pick up the melted base and make "snow" on the Christmas trees. It is advisable to immediately sprinkle the form with alcohol, then the base spreads better over it. And for the convenience of pouring, I put the molds on plastic jars.

NS We got such snowballs on the molds.

We cut the base into pieces and send it to the microwave to heat for about thirty seconds. I used an olive base so base oils did not add.

Add the prepared dye (pigment) and mix thoroughly.

When the base has cooled down a little, add essential oils.

Sprinkle the "snow" forms with alcohol and fill them with a green base.

We do not fill one of the molds to the end - this can be seen in the photo.

O we set our soap to freeze. When it becomes firm, we clean up the excess on the mold with a knife, which is completely filled in so that its reverse side is even.

V if the green base has been cooked enough, you can heat it up in the microwave, if not, you will have to prepare a new small portion. Spray both molds with alcohol, fill the second mold to the brim.

We take the second mold with the Christmas tree and put it on the molten base, make sure that the branches of the Christmas trees coincide, because now they will become one Christmas tree!)

To make the soap easier to get out of the mold and harden faster, you can put it in the freezer for five minutes.And here is the most interesting moment - this is taking out the soap from the mold. First, we remove the upper part, that is, the first mold, we do it very carefully!
