When good soap goes bad

 src=
I saw these cute easter soaps at Dean & Deluca and just had to find a way to make them for a lot less money ($50 for 16). The Mr even agreed to help me in my endeavor. Somewhere along the line, though, things got a little out of hand. Let's examine shall we?

I found the right size eggs 2 packs for $1 at Michael's. The Mr helped by cutting off one end of the eggs with the drimmel. (and he wore some styling safety glasses while he did it)

I melted down some goat's milk soap base and added color and scent. It poured into the molds without any leaking.

I tried to smooth out the mold lines, but then they just looked like giant suppositories. Yikes! src= No way could these be teacher gifts! And so, a quick trip to Michael's and a 50% off coupon later, and my melted down porno eggs were made much more presentable :)

(You have great timing on Spring Fling prize, I've been out of town for two weeks and will be flying home tomorrow night.)

Good job! I actually like the cute pastel ones better anyway!
