This heart floral lace melt and pour soap is covered in roses and delicate lace, and it all comes from the mold. It’s one of the most elegant molds I’ve ever used. I kept it simple with one color of goat milk base so none of the detail gets lost. Each soap weighs about 3.5 oz and makes a lovely Valentine’s or Mother’s Day gift.

Materials & Tools
Soap Base
- About 3.5 oz of detergent-free goat’s milk melt and pour soap base per soap
Color & Scent
- A soft colorant or mica (I used a light blue)
- A fruity fragrance oil (I used Sun Ripened Raspberry)
Tools
Fragrance Amount
Use up to 5 ml of fragrance oil per 16 oz (1 lb) of soap base. For one 3.5 oz heart, that’s only about 1 ml. You can always use less.
How to Make Heart Floral Lace Soap
1. Look at the Mold
This mold has so much detail, with roses in the middle and lace around the edges, that I didn’t do any swirling. A single color shows it off best.
2. Melt and Color
Melt the goat’s milk base, stir in your color and add fragrance.
3. Pour
Pour slowly into the mold so the soap flows into all the little details. Spray with alcohol to pop the bubbles.
4. Unmold
Once it’s set, loosen the edges and gently peel the mold back. The roses and lace come out beautifully.
5. Next Time: Color the Roses
To make the roses stand out, fill just the rose cavities with a second color first, let it set, then pour the main color over it. You could also paint the roses with mica.
Tips & What I Learned
- Keep it simple. One color shows off a detailed mold best.
- Pour slowly. It fills every rose and lace detail.
- Spray with alcohol. Bubbles hide in detailed molds.
- Try a two-color pour. Fill the roses first for contrast.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles in the details. Spray with alcohol right after pouring and tap the mold gently.
The lace edges tore. Let the soap set completely and peel the mold back slowly.
The details look soft. Use an opaque base like goat’s milk for crisp detail.
FAQ
