Making Cutting & Stamping MIDNIGHT MOON Cold Process Soap using the Heat Transfer method 

The air bubbles in the soap look like twinkling stars. Lovely

Oh wow!! That is such a cool design! They turned out great. Thank you for all the great information and tips.

Allen, those are cool and even though you didn’t get a complete moon you can also consider that part of the Eclips pretty awesome

Ahhhhhmazing! So beautiful! With the classic music in the background suits the moon hahahaha love it!

The bubbles look like "Starry Night". Very pretty. Leave it alone and stop being so piddly and critical of your work. It looks great. Handmade=perfectly imperfect. 💖

Beautiful soap, I watched to see the heat transfer method. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the video

Love watching your videos!!

I only use the heat transfer method. I love it. Your videos are always so interesting and informative.

Wow!!! That moon looks like the real moon!!! Great job 💕

I just tried the heat transfer method a few weeks ago, and I love it!!! This design is a-MA-zing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ellen you are my favorite soap maker on You Tube. I absolutely love your channel

wow wow wow

I used the heat transfer method last week for the first time. It's amazing, saves so much time. I came to this video because I wanted to see if you felt it traced fast or not. I'm going to try a hidden feather swirl next and wondered if it would trace fast. Doesn't seem to be for you though. I guess a lot depends on additives (salt etc) and fragrances. Thanks for sharing something you haven't done before (this is me pretty well every time I soap) LOL. Your design look gorgeous. Oh and thanks for adding sodium lactate and tussah silk to the water pre mix. Most recommend adding sodium lactate to cooled lye solution which is a bit hard with heat transfer method.

I love the half moons/partial moons! It looks so natural & gorgeous 😍🌘🌓

Beautiful soap

🌚🌜I just love this design! So creative with the round silicone mold for the moon. I have not thought of that. I’ve been waiting to make a noon soap until I can order a long cylinder mold but this is ingenious! I love how yours turned out so beautiful!!🌜🌚

wow.. i really love the end result. looks like stars with the moon. very nice! Thank you!

You have inspired me to try the heat transfer method! Beautiful soap .. thank you for the video!

I am so incredibly thankful for this video you made! Yesterday, I was planning to make lemongrass eo and coconut milk soap (I also added heavy cow cream & Greek yogurt) but happened to watch your new video first. I too have watched other soapers successfully use the heat transfer method, but, like you I feared I would regret it. I use lard in my mix and I learned once that it needs to be thoroughly liquidfied or it will cause the batter to quickly false trace. Well, you had good results so I tried it AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY! WHAT A TIME SAVER! I learn so much from watching these great videos other soaper's make. I also love buying and trying out soaps from others. It helps me to learn results of ingredients I may not have tried yet. Plus I like seeing how labels and packaging are done. Not only did I use the heat transfer method yesterday for the first time, I also used cocoa butter in my recipe. I had the easiest time ever. I spent way less time working and no stress of a fast moving batter and very little mess / dishes to clean up afterwards. I was able to unmold and cut in 12 hours thanks to adding a bit of salt water which I stupidly forgot to discount. Soaps turned out lovely anyway except I ran the block the wrong direction through my log splitter 😔. Thanks again for the motivation to try new methods! Your soap turned out beautifully! I believe you freeze your milks and then add lye. I have never done it that way. Just wanted to let you know I have had no troubles adding any type of milk and creams after emusifying lye and oils. I discount the milk and or heavy cream weight from the water. I usually have enough distilled water weight to equal lye weight. I soap at about 115°. I notice after adding milks or sugar the batter starts to heat up again just a bit but no darkening or scorching at all of milks. I guess if you are using all milk and no water then this time saving tip isn't helpful to you.

Ellen Ruth what a great idea, I could not picture how your idea would work but it’s fantastic I love moon watching and agree with another comment the little marks resemble stars. Thanks for sharing your expertise

That is a beautiful moon embed, a moon soap is on my list of to do soaps, you are such a wonderful inspiration 🥰

Great idea using those molds for the moons. They turned out great as did the other soap bars on the rack. Nice job.

So creative!! I’m gonna making it with a paper towel inseam. Thank you for sharing your idea 💡

Muy bello, te felicito. Los llamaría Luna llena...son una belleza

well done!!!!

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing how you made it - and the heat transfer method! I’ve never seen it before. P.S. - I love your laugh! It is endearing.

This is a wonderful idea having the large embeds and yes, I also like the little 'starry' bubbles - wouldn't change a thing. Also, why not have a half moon occasionally. I think it is perfect.

whilesale supplies plus has a large cylinder mold that would be perfect for moon embeds, wihtout having to hold them up!

I really liked your soap on the drying rack with the red moon.

They're beautiful AND creative!

These are too nice to use 😍

Ya but , at least on camera the bubbles look like stars. It’s very beautiful n very cool!

Beautiful soaps, they are a work of art. I love these and the earth one's. I use the heat transfer method and love it, I avoid in winter as it's to cold here and doesn't melt the hard oils properly, otherwise I am comfortable in all other seasons it is a massive time saver 🙏

Great soap. I started watching your videos from the first one. It is great to see your following increase. Such pretty soaps. BTW, love your soap room.

I LOVE THESE!!! So, no trouble when cutting, apparently. My luck I would land a wire right down on top of a moon.

I’ve been do are laundry for years with my left over soap scraps just a little baking soda mixed in about 3-4 teaspoon per full load and I wash on warm. Love doing this I don’t like the chemicals in real laundry soap. Then just little essential oil on a wool dryer ball.

Heat transfer method is how I make most of my soaps. It saves so much time.

Beautiful 🥰

They're beautiful! xo

Looks amazing!

I always use the heat transfer method when I am not using milk. I Can use coconut milk but when using Goat milk i still use the cool lyve methods. The soap looks perfect to me.

Lovely

I hear ya with impatience lol

Saw your shop and girl you are making me to reconsider about soap making. You made it look so fun! I am currently doing wax melt, working on lotion bar, then candle, sugar scrub, now soap when I dread the most cuz lye is pretty imitating. I been trying to find the natural preservatives that can replace the lye.

The heat transfer method is my primary way of soaping. I’m not the most patient person and sometimes spur of the moment.

Small hint. Next time, wet your imbeds with a little water and stack/stick them together. Really nice soap BTW.

I like the the heat transfer method for the fact that you don't have to melt your oil. But am scared to use it am scared it will cook my soap

I think the bubbles kind of look like stars 🌟🤩 Also, how thick do you cut your soaps?

Amazing soap! I wanna do the same, and I will try.

Does soap curing time change or reduce in heat transfer method, independent of the reciepe ?

Amei

may i ask, where did you get your measuring cups that big? I have some from the $ dollar store but hat that tall. How many ounces does go up to if you don't mind me asking.

Good day! May I ask how long do you wait till you stamp your brand on the soap?

Where do you get your silk? Mine dont melt that fast.

Where did you get your stamp?

I love the molds From where did u get them

Most times that I use the heat transfer method, my soap over heats and cracks...occasionally it's ok but not often...so.....I just stick with room temp...😊

😂 My left hand is just for show.
