Lesley Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Emma - don't forget to wrap some sort of polythene/cling film of cellophane around the bath melts before the muslin/gingham or the fabric will be spolied. I ordered all my stuff from www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk last year, they may have egg moulds. If not, look on Ebay for Cake Decorating suppliers with shops - there are loads - they will have small Easter egg moulds which you can use.

ubereglu Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If I could make some egg shaped, then I'd put some in egg boxes, but I'm not sure how I'd make egg shaped ones, maybe blow the eggs and drizzle in the hot melted mixture, allow to set, then peel away the egg shell? I don't know? Emma, I have some plastic eggs that you can pull apart into two pieces from Easter. I'll post you a couple if you want. You'd have to mould them in two pieces and then perhaps stick them together with the hot liquid soap...would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks Lesley! Quick question - I have made some bath melts (in paper cases) and was looking for a nicer way to give them as gifts. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 How about getting some of that pretty sheer plastic stuff,with the pinky bits in (terrible description ) popping them on a square,pulling the top in & tying it with gift ribbon? Or try making look like cupcakes,with a sprig of holly on top & tying them with raffia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I use squares of cellophane (is that what you meant Sarah?) - and tie them with raffia or ribbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hows about buying some mini baking tins - tart tins that hold 6 jam tarts or in your case bath melts. Then tyeing up with cellophane and curly ribbon! I think you can buy childrens baking tins from Early learning centre or even Wilkinsons.
