 Milky Way Molds Soap Stamps are an easy way to personalise plain melt and pour or cold-process soap bars.
Each handmade stamp consists of a resin design glued to the end of a 7.5cm (3 inch) long hardwood "handle" for easy use. Each lifetime-guarantee stamp comes in a clear plastic gift box and instructions and design tips are also enclosed.
Designs are easily embossed into soap using a 2-step process:
First, center the resin image of the stamp on the bar of soap;
Second, lightly tap the end of the wooden handle with a hammer 2 to 3 times. A regular hammer works well, but wooden or rubber mallets are gentler on the wood. Practice on scrap soap to get comfortable with the process. Aside from packaging, there's no better way to dress up a bar of soap!
A flat soap surface allows for even, consistent images. You don't need to stamp too deep - about 3mm (1/8 inch) is plenty. The deeper the impression, the more soap is displaced, which can warp the outer edges of the bar. Smaller bars can be stamped to a lesser depth to avoid warping or breakage. |
