INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure your toy will fit INSIDE the mold with enough space for soap to fully surround it.
2. If the toy is not fully plastic, wrap it in a small amount of plastic wrap.
3. Melt the glycerin in the microwave (or you can use a double boiler) until fully melted. Mine took 2 minutes for one glycerin bar.
4. Add essential oil (I used 3 drops of Celebration blend and 2 drops peppermint oil)
5. Add coloring if desired.
6. Pour glycerin into mold 1/3rd deep.
7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
8. Add toy to top of glycerin.
9. Pour more glycerin on top (you may need to re-heat) until toy is covered.
10. Wait at least 30 minutes before removing from mold.
