EASY DIY Melt & Pour Soap Making Embeds 

I love everything you do. With embeds, sometimes the simplest things can turn out to be the hardest.

Thank you very much mylady for all the secrets from your Eden... I love watching you, when I'm watching your videos it feels like "at home ". And I apply all your advices in my making soap. And I love that your husband is making comments... he makes me laugh a lot. I'm a romanian living in Morocco Morocco started making soap and I love it. Send you my gratitude for you videos, lovely soaps and ideas.

I love when you chat away! I put your videos on most evenings and relax watching you create. I'm a beginner but I've learnt so much from just watching you.

How sweet that your husband watches your videos.

Cant beat a Sunday binge watching your videos Karen you make a great teacher of your craft you explain things brill make wants try making soap xx❤❤

I really love listening to you chat, I giggle all the way through x love watching all your great creations xx Jane

I love listening to you and John talk. Thank you for sharing how you like to make your inbeds Karen.

Yes, the old boy loves you. Y'all are so cute pickin' back and fourth. And yes, back to the chatty videos where it was like a visit with a friend, just chatting about whatever was going thru your mind that day, movies you liked or not, news stories, books, a shopping trip, having your knives sharpened, just day to day life thru your voice and opinions. It was so nice to hear you chat away while you made the soaps.

I've only just started watching your videos days ago and love them and love hearing you chat about anything... :)

Just love watching your videos. This one is a classic. I'd love to see you make some silicone molds. I like you talking. Especially when you said you think that guy loves you. You have so much energy and just keep on going. God bless you ❤

Always love watching your videos and hearing you chat about anything. Your voice is very soothing. I would like you do a tutorial on the rose mound. Much love and blessings!😘❤️🧸🙏

I am so glad that your videos are more personalized you make it more fun to learn how to make soap!

Your soaps are so beautiful and crafty. Love watching your videos.

I love that you talk about random stuff I enjoy listening to you, the thing I hate the most is that people talk and talk but don’t work while talking

I love your rambling videos Karen...your stories are so encouraging. You are such an inspiration to the soap community. So talk whatever you please...Keep inspiring!

Lmao....Tell John & Declan Hi lol & that I watch every single Video still from "Start to Finish Karen" many of us Enjoy your down to earth happy go lucky attitude & personality...Yes we love you Talking Soap or just Chatting in general, it's almost like we are in the Room with You!!! Gosh Declan was soo young when I first started watching you In your Shop & I've watched them over & over again!!! Lots of us were missing you terribly when you had the break & were hounding you to come back & are over the moon that you are back 😉😉😉 You have a heart of gold Karen!!!

I was watching and thinking, is she pulling the toothpicks out with her teeth & then you said you were! OMGosh! I was laughin. Then laughing at the comment on poppin piles. Had a stitch in my side from laughing and trying not to wake my hubby up. You are so funny and love the banter between you & your hubby. Just like we do. Hope we get to see more and love, love, love listening to you talk 😂 😍

RU-vid just offered this one up for my perusal, it's giving a thought to you as well, and I'm happy with the selection though I just really got into it and not nearly finished. You probably won't even see this one but in the slight chance you do, it's a perfect example of one thing that makes your videos so popular, at least for me. I feel I've just dropped into your home for a visit, your husband pops in for a word or two with his wife whom he misses but is happy she works at home and not away. I feel like I'm a friend of the family, not some random stranger who's getting cursory instructions in a business-like manner....as school teachers tend to do. You're a pleasure to watch, thank you for making your wonderful videos.

Aww Hubby watching your Videos - His a keeper - Love your work Just Beautiful 🥰

I'm watching this a year after filming. Thse molds are crazy, I know why you gave them away! There's so many great molds out there. Who has the time for frustration? I love the color of the raspberries though. Just gorgeous. Sometimes you have a great amount if patience, I probably would have dumped it all in the trash, lol! I always love watching your videos! There's never a dull moment! I also love it when you talk about what's new in your life, John interrupting, and the stories you tell. When you ask us questions that you really don't need an answer, lol! Very entertaining always!!!

Love all these embeds so talented 😍

I TOO love hearing your chatting, and love the guest appearances of your family. One of my favorites was when your son showed his helicopter and suggested you could use a blow torch on the soap.....Hate to see you struggle with molds but maybe you could finally treat us to a how to for molds. Your rose molds are stunning.

Fun stuff! I love my melt and pour, so many fun things you can do to build your 'soap story' with embeds 🐰 Jen

I really enjoy your videos. It's so relaxing, it feels like I'm a visitor just watching you create. I really appreciate you sharing your craft. And I think he loves you too.😊

Can we watch you make all those soaps you showed us in the pictures? That would be awesome.

I don't know why I found it so amusing, but I actually laughed when you dumped the sticks out. I think it's because of the contrast of how it was done each time, at first, you very carefully shook them out through the lid, then took off lid and carefully took them out, then just purposefully dumped them out and picked them up from the table. Note: I watch your videos to help me go to sleep and have for years (you are the only remainder of the original 10 channels I originally subscribed to when I first made my RU-vid account) because they're so soothing for me, so being extremely tired might have something to do with my reaction.

I'm glad to hear your conversation with you and your husband. Thank you for sharing.

The roses are beautiful. I sure hope we see the make of the soaps and cupcakes

I just love your show. You are so talented! I'm watching you with the molds. I would love to do the roses.

Love your videos, please keep making them just as you do.

I love hearing you talk to John and who ever else walks into the store. I give my husband hell too lol

Nice embeds. I like flowers

Love have what have, My hubby loves me too. Yours is a gem just as mine. Love your stories. Your the embed queen this morning... You work is always beauiful. You inspire me. We had high winds at 3am and looked at my tablet after letting the cat out. Couldn't go back to sleep. So I watched you then rolled my soap cart to the kitchen and mixed 2 bathes of lye water. I just made Black raspberry vanilla that fragrances just lovely. Then I will make a manly raspberry with poppy seeds that's what is next! Have a local show the 6th on April, I plan on having 20 diff soaps! Love lot listen to you too. Have a blessed day.

I like it when you talk about random things.. your so funny LOL

Yes I love anything you say. Makes me happy

Love your videos! I would love to try the mold. Thanks for sharing your videos

23:35 a pro tip for those hard handling, you need to cut with a stylus or scalpel, from the hole in the mold, to the outside leaving space at the end. confirm that the mold, even after being cut, maintains its shape. When using it, you can glue tape around the entire mold and when you are going to remove what is in the mold, just remove the tape and you will be able to remove the models even easier than the ones in the middle. I make these fine cuts with all hard molds that are not malleable and thick. The best thing is that no product comes out of the cut and it is very easy to do. That way you won't need to donate the molds. It will be a good solution for this mold and others with the same problem. Mainly home-made molds, just cut from the opening and on the side, leaving a few centimeters at the base of the mold. When using reinforcement before adding soap (or resin or wax for candles), before pouring the product, apply tape or an elastic band so that the product does not leak and you will have a super functional mold that is better than you would imagine. Try this method. kisses and good luck.

Vanulay makes fantastic molds made from real fruit etc. They are really to use and very durable.

Oh I just love you and your videos. Please make more.

Van Yulay makes wonderful silicone molds that are easy to use and clean. Some can be a little pricey depending on what you need but well worth not having to fuss with ones that are giving problems.

I’m new here and I absolutely love your channel. 💕💕💕

Beautiful, Karen...please don't stop the chatter with John...I look forward to your easy banter...Shirley from SA

I wonder if you cut 1/2 of the outside edge of the mold off, if that would help in the release.

Loved watching this embed video. You poor woman though having so much trouble with the raspberry molds. I love all of those molds! I don’t soap but would like to and it’s good to see the things that happen good or bad in soaping while learning.

have you tried spraying your mould release on first my friend i just got some for my candle making

I would take that as a big compliment that your husband would rather watch your soap video than the millions of other videos on line or on TV. I love when you chat away to us. Where did the berry and cherry moulds come from as in Australia I haven't been able to find any decent moulds in Australia. I love watching embeds being made

You are so sweet, just keep being yourself.

Love you Ms. Karen!

Fantastic embeds x

I would love to watch you make your new silicone molds If you haven't already made them.

I think he loves you !!💕

I love your chit chat. I am secretly obsessed with John. Hello John :) I love you Karen!!!

I make my own molds for way less. Just buy fake fruits the size you like and buy the half & half liquid / silicone mold or you can use the putty, although I prefer the liquid form because I can color it how I want & it makes larger molds then the putty . You can get it at hobby lobby, Amazon or Ebay . I Made that same honey comb soap & my mom LOVED it - everyone did it definitely a hit!

I love listening to your stories and talk about anything, soap or not. And yes he love you! He picks at you and I think it’s cute to listen to y’all two talk. Those molds can be a pain sometimes can’t they? Oh and that Gold color is amazing. I always use Gold Mica when pouring cinnamon buns or anything that looks a vanilla color. The Gold is perfect and so much prettier to me. Where did you get the lime molds at? I’ve been looking for a good silicone mold and could only find plastic ones.

Where do you buy your fragrances from? Love watching your videos. You’ve inspired me to make soap. 😁😁

Good morning Karen!! I was laughing when ya "busted" John watching your video's! Lol ; ) Yeah, I think he might have a lil crush on ya!! Haha Wink wink ; ) Those berry molds are a nightmare, the silicone used was definitely too stiff. That might be a neat mold video for you to make including the roses. I saw a lady that makes all kinds of food type molds and it was so cool. She froze the berries etc and they did come out "amazing". If I can find the video's, I will see if she mentions the brand of silicone she uses. This was a great video this morning, I always love seeing a new video notification. I get my fur babies fed and then my COFFEE and sit back and enjoy my morning with ya. ; ) My CRPS has been flaring up more and as always you can distract my mind from the pain. You really do help so many people in a lot of different ways...your such a peach!! Would love to have ya for a neighbor. Lol Hope you are going to "video" these custom orders, I would love to see all of them made with these adorable embeds!! Make my day girlie!! Have a nice Sunday...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xoxoxo : )

I like watching you do everything - I ALWAYS forget to add the fragrance at the end, so if I follow on with you, I don't forget anything. But I have now tried your pink champagne soap, and got soap on a stick both times. Must be the fragrance...

I like this I going make my soap soon on Tuesday i make it

First off, Karen, I find your carefree approach to soaping very refreshing. And I could listen to you all day. I love how you say, palaver & jug. Lol. My question is this-how can your slightly traced soap stay so fluid? It’s like you can go, fill an entire double batch of cupcake molds & then go back to that big pot & it hasn’t moved along in the saponification process one bit. Please let me know what type of magic tricks you’ve got going on in your shop because my stuff moves a hell of a lot quicker. Lol.

Making my own embeds today so the timing couldn't be more perfect! What a great gift to see this first thing today! Happy Birthday TO ME!! LOL Personally, I Love hearing you and John go back and forth with each other. It's almost like hanging out with you two sitting here drinking my morning coffee. Thank You for all you do Karen. You are the highlight and inspiration to soo many of my days. I'm going to end this with a question. You mention the Sweating from the M&P soap, do you have any tips on what to do with it besides wiping it off and possibly how to decrease the chance of it OR AVOID it all together? I ordered the crystal clear and need to use it up before ordering the low-sweat. However I am finding it is an issue with most of the embeds. Thank You again. Enjoy your day!! - Julie

Those embeds look amazing! That raspberry mold looks painful 😣 is it difficult or expensive to get vanulay molds where you live? They are the BEST!

Hi great video. I enjoyed watching as always. Take care ☺☺

Tell him that I watch them no matter how long they are, I love your videos 👍👍👍👌👌👌

Hope all is well. I was thinking you were ill because you haven't posted in a while, since the embeds. Here is a prayer your way and hope to see you back on soon.

Black currants in Australia are a tart berry that is smaller than a blue berry and is black in colour,yours are more like our blackberrys. Could you put mold release in molds or is that for bigger projects. Please chat away I love to hear what soapers do in their spare time,and with family. In Australia I can't get decent berry and cherry molds. If you love the mold,could you cut the hard edge ones off. I hope she appreciates her soaps after all you've gone through to make them. I love watching you make your different inbeds. What do you use to make your molds. Huge embed making production day. Low sweat Melt and pour

I’ll like the get the molds I love the saying one mans trash is another’s man treasure 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Good job 👍🏼

I have fb and insta but it doesn't show up when I try to share it.. Bless you heart I would love to have any silicon embeds you have.

If you stick the raspberry mold in freezer help get them out a little better?

The things we soap makers have to do. Tee hee

I have seen people spray molds with isopropyl alcohol to help get imbeds out of molds. Have you tried that? Just like watching soap videos here in Elizabethtown Kebtucky at midnight.

Yes I think 🤔 he loves ❤️ you and the rest of US who watch you videos as well.

Love to hear you chat. Do you have any problems with cake soaps with them looking like food . I have really got to practice my piping

How cool do u let ur mix go to make frosting 🤗

I have a question ma’am All these utensils that we use for soap making can we use them again for our daily cooking

I love hearing you chat us up . Yes he loves ya love and hugs from newfoundland Canada here

Do these stain tubs/showers & wash cloths?? That's my only fear with the amount of pigments used. Very pleasing to the eye tho 😍😍

Yes, Rose mold please and the raspberry.. Do you sale them?

Does anyone give me directions on how to do this?? For insta and yt??

*"It's like poppin' a pile out!"* ROFLMBO, Karen! I love watching ya! I'd love the molds if there's a drawing. You're one of my favorites! Are your fingers recovered from those molds? Bless your heart. Hugz, Tree

I hope everything is OK with you and your family. We haven't heard from you in a while. If still sick, hope you are feeling better soon.

Yes

I know this isn't the answer you want to read, but I personally would love to see how you make ALL of your moulds. On a related topic, have you made 3d moulds like complete (not half) spheres? I know that they're still technically two parts, but they snap together, you fill them, let the stuff cool, then unfasten and release. I don't know for certain if such a thing is even possible with silicon as I've only ever seen them as hard plastic, but I figure if anyone would know, it'd be you.

if you partly brake about a 1/4" off the length of a cocktail stick it will act as a hook. if the soap is just for decoration .

you mentioned in one off your video's (about how you package up your soaps) the box company you use. can you please give me a link or the title of your video. Thank you. x

Hello Karen! I love hearing you talk about anything! The longer the video the better. I have been following you for years! I followed your mirror glaze soap making video and I will be uploading it in a week. You always make it look so easy but It wasn't so easy for me! With my thick silicone molds I put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes and they pop right out! Maybe give that a try. Thanks for another amazing video! Have a great week!

There is a mold product called mold star. It seems whomever made that mold used mold star 30 or higher. You need to use mold star 15 or 16. They work very well!!!

The mold you have is made for A poxy when you look for any molds look cake making molds it is still Silicone but made from a softer material. I hope I've helped you

Have you ever put a bone in vinegar and it gets flimsy and rubbery.? I wonder if it would relax the rubber of that mold you are having a time with, or maybe you could Google it.

Did you mean low sweat melt and pour soap? X

Where did you get the cherry mold??

I love to hear u talking

Think you should make a unicorn soap I love your videos and love your colourful soaps

Link to the silicone cake mould video I was talking about:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MKv8tvwsNEI.html

I stumbled upon your channel a year ago and is because of you that I make soap. The video I watch to talked about the importance of know Christ.Wish I could find thaat video again

Trim the silicone close to the raspberry on the mold just don't cut into the raspberry cavity it should be easier to get them out. Question, why are raspberry frown upon in your country?

wouldn't it easier and faster with a squeeze bottle? Love the vids.

I love your chatting and you family appearances! Your back and forth with John is so amusing! 😂

How long have you been making soap? If you really want to give away those molds I would love to get a chance to use them. I'm sure I could find a use for them. :)

Your stiff silicon mold, can't you cut it by rows? Would probably make it a little easier to bend.
