Rattan Reed Diffusers - Recipe 1 |
 |
Ingredients:Rattan Reeds (Soap Barn)20ml Fragrance – 10ml + 10ml and Liquid Soap Colouring (Soap Barn) 30ml Diffuser Oil Base (Soap Barn) 50ml Glass Bottle (Soap Barn) Method:Combine the fragrances and the diffuser oil base and mix very well till the fragrances are completely emulsified. I have combined two different fragrances each time to make more interesting unique fragrances eg orange and papaya, rose and grapefruit, lemon and apple, blueberry and vanilla. I also coloured each mixture to match the fragrances. This way the reeds absorb the fragrance and the colour and you have matching reeds with fragrance. Pour the mixed diffuser oil into your bottle and add your rattan reeds. Leave the reeds to wick (absorb the oil up the hollow tubes) for a couple of hours and turn them over. You can turn them over every couple of days for best results.Reed Diffusers are another way to scent your home and office. They are a great way to enhance the smell of a room without an open flame. Reed diffusers consist of three components. A glass container, a set of reed diffuser sticks/reeds, and diffuser fragrance oil. Let the rattan reed diffusers draw the diffuser oil for an hour or two then flip the reeds over to expose oil-moistened diffuser reeds to the air. The oil will continue to draw up the diffusers reeds scenting your room for several months. To get the most out of your reed diffuser flip the diffuser reeds over about once a week or as desired for a fresh fragrance burst. Once the diffuser oil is finally used up, simply pour in an oil refill. In small spaces, like bathrooms, use less sticks. Usually 4-6 reeds work well. Less reeds mean less scent, more reeds mean more scent. You may want to use 8-10 reeds for larger rooms where a stronger scent throw is desired. |
Soap Candies - Recipe 2 |
Turkish Delights Jelly Babies
Strawberry Bon-Bons Lollipops
Wine Gums |
Ingredients:A lollipop mouldA turkish delight mould A strawberry bon-bon mould A jelly baby mould A wine gum mould 500g clear marula glycerine soap 500g red strawberry glycerine soap 500g white milk and honey glycerine soap Cellophane for packaging Cellophane bags for packaging White powder colouring Lollipop sticks Chocolate foil and wrapper Paper chocolate cases Chocolate boxes Soap stickers Method:Soap candies are really easy and loads of fun to make. You can start off by placing all your moulds on the counter where you can reach all of them easily. Now you can start melting your soaps. Melt each colour separately in a small glass or plastic jug in the microwave for thirty seconds. Take care not to overheat or burn your soap because when it boils it loses its clarity and elasticity. It becomes brittle and murky. Not nice!The next step is pouring the soaps. Remember to leave the soap to cool a little once it is melted. When it forms a skin on top it is ready to pour. An important tip when making soap candies is to pour your soap right to the top of each mould. When you under fill a mould the soap is difficult to unmould once set. The red and clear soap must get poured into the turkish delight mould, the jelly baby mould, the wine gum mould and the lollipop mould. Leave those aside to set. Pour red soap into the strawberry of the bon-bon mould. Leave it to set. Once it has set you can pour your white mould on top of that to fill the mould. Make sure the white soap is still quite hot because it needs to melt the red soap a little otherwise they won’t bond. Leave them for two hours to set. When your strawberry bon-bons have set unmould them and place each one individually in a paper chocolate case. You can even wrap them in chocolate foil if you like. Then package them in your chocolate box. When the Turkish delights have set unmould them. Take a thick, soft haired brush and dip it into the white powder colouring. Now dust the Turkish delights with white powder to look like icing sugar. Then place each Turkish delight into a single paper case. They can all get packaged into your second chocolate box. When the jelly babies have set unmould them and package them in a cellophane bag. When the lollipops have set unmould them. Place them on your counter, facing down (flat side on the counter). Now take a lollipop stick and push it through a half round all the way through till it reaches the counter. Now lift it up, place a matching second half on top of it and push the stick through the second half – although not right through. Now cut appropriate size squares of cellophane and wrap them around the lollipops. Secure the cellophane in position with a piece of sellotape at the base of the lollipop around the stick. When the wine gums have set unmould them. Now take your apple corer and cut circles out of the already moulded soaps. This will make them the right size and shape for wine gums. Put them all together and roll them in cellophane. Close the cellophane on either side of the roll by twisting it. Finally you need to place the soap stickers on all your soap candies. This is to let everyone know that although they look exactly like the real thing, they are in fact soaps and not edible. |

Bubble-Doh Easter Eggs - Recipe 17 |
 |
Ingredients:Bubble-Doh (Soap Barn)Baking soda, fragrances, powder colours and glitter (Soap Barn) Egg mould, egg box and fluffy chicks (Soap Barn) Method: |
| Divide your 1kg of Bubble-Doh into 6 equal portions |
 |
| Put a quarter teaspoon of powder colouring and 40 drops of fragrance (your favourite) on each portion |
 |
| Mix each portion well so you have evenly coloured and fragranced balls of Bubble-Doh |
 |
| Prepare your work space. Make sure you have a glass of water and a soft brush ready for use. Have two halves of your
egg mould cut out and ready for use. Keep your glitter handy and have a huge pile of baking soda on your work surface to make
your moulding easy. |
 |
| Coat your egg moulds inside very well with baking soda |
 |
| Press your coloured and fragrance Bubble-Doh into each half egg so they are solid and hard |
 |
| Now (so as to make things easier) tap each egg half out onto your work space and coat your egg half moulds again in
baking soda. |
 |
| Place the Bubble-Doh egg halves back into the moulds and brush one half only with a bit of water |
 |
| Put the two half eggs in their moulds together and squeeze tight. They will join up beautifully. |
 |
| Because you dusted the moulds a second time with baking soda you will find that they release really easily leaving
you with a perfect shaped egg |
 |
| Place your egg on some paper towelling over a big thick wad of old newspaper. This will give the egg a soft base
on which to rest and the thick wad of newspaper will absorb the excess water in the Bubble-Doh and allow it to set easily
and quickly |
 |
| Brush your egg lightly with a soft brush and water. Then sprinkly your glitter. |
 |
| Leave your eggs to dry for five days |
 |
| When the eggs are set they will be dry enough to pick up and pack in an egg box. They don't set very hard till much
later but because they need to crumble easily into your bath it is better to have them solid but not rock hard. Finally you
can pack your eggs in an egg tray and decorate with ribbon and fluffy chicks. What a gorgeous Easter gift! |
