How to Make Melt and Pour Soap on a Rope
UPDATE: We are no longer able to purchase these molds and ropes.
In this tutorial you will learn how easy and fun it is to make your own
professional Melt and Pour soap on a rope, using our two-part 3D molds which are perfect for this process.
Soap on a Rope fits conveniently around shower faucet or handles. Soap dries faster, and lasts longer. It's also a great product for anyone with mobility problems, as you can hang the soap over your arm while you bathe or shower.
Step 1: Supplies You Will Need
* Two-Part 3D Soap Mold
* Soap Rope,
18" in length (or longer)
Approx. 1/4" in Diameter
Heat sealed or knotted at the ends.
* Melt & Pour Soap Base
* Soap Crafters Fragrance Oil
* Optional: Liquid Colorant
Step 2: Measure Your Rope
Measure the length of rope necessary to embed the rope half-way into the soap
bar, to the top of the funnel.
Step 3: Prepare Your Mold
Lower the heat sealed end of the rope into the mold cavity, through the funnel, and tuck the remaining rope under the top
rubber band.
Center the rope in the funnel (left to right), and be sure that the rope
is hanging straight into the mold cavity.
Step 4: Pour Your Soap
After preparing your melt and pour soap base, pour the soap slowly and steadily
into the mold.
Overfill the mold cavity by pouring an excess into the funnel. This will
act as a reserve and eliminate any large air pockets from forming at the
top of the soap bar.
Lightly tap the mold onto the table to release any trapped air, and if
necessary, refill the funnel reserve.
Step 5: Finishing Your Soap on a Rope
Unmold the soap when it is ready, and trim away any excess material or"flashing" from the bar, and around the rope.
Good idea. :)

just a quick add before putting the rope into the mold, I tie a series of knots in the end (larks head or square knots) that way the rope is more secure in the bar.
