Equipment

Directions
- Melt the soap in the microwave in short bursts (10-15 seconds). Stir in 3 mL fragrance oil. Place the tubes in the tray.
- Pour 0.6 oz melted soap into a small container, stir in 1 mL undiluted Red LabColor. Reheat in 2-second bursts if it stiffens. Pour into three tubes, then spray the tops with alcohol to pop bubbles.
- Do the same with 0.6 oz soap and 1 mL Orange, then yellow, green, and blue.
- For purple, stir 3 drops Brilliant Blue and 7 drops Red into the soap and pour into three tubes.
- Leave to cool and harden fully, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Test in an inconspicuous spot on the tub first.
Safety: NOT edible. Adult-only making: melted soap is hot and can burn, and isopropyl alcohol is flammable. For young or sensitive kids, consider leaving out the fragrance oil (skin irritation); use skin-safe soap colorants only, never wax crayons. Little pieces can break off; supervise toddlers.
