1. Melting soap
First heat up a small amount of pouring soap. You can either melt it in a melting pot or with a melting ladle over a water bath.
2. Add color and fragrance
Once the soap has melted evenly into a liquid, add soap colour and fragrance oil according to your personal taste. Stir the mixture well so that the color and fragrance are evenly distributed.
3. Pouring and hardening
Carefully pour the liquid soap into a mold (up to about 5 mm below the rim). Leave the soap to harden for about 4 - 5 hours. You can then carefully remove it from the mold. To do this, tap lightly on the base of the mold until the bar of soap slides out.
4. Painting the boat
Paint the wooden boat with craft paints. Once the paint has dried, coat the entire boat with acrylic varnish. This will protect the wood of the boat from moisture later on.
5. Transfer the lettering
Print out the free template and transfer the lettering to the wooden boat using graphite paper. Then trace the lettering with marker pens.
6. Decorate
Fill the boat with wood wool and arrange the soap bars with some shells on the wood wool. You can also place more shells next to your soap boat - this decoration is sure to delight you for a long time!
