Easter is coming, and you want a unique decoration? Then make your own egg-shaped mold and create original soaps or candles!
You will need:
I-GUM silicone paste
A yogurt cup
Soap base or wax
Dyes and fragrances for candles or for soaps
1. First, we'll make the egg-shaped mold. Measure equal parts of component A and B of the I-GUM silicone paste. For a smaller egg, 100 grams of paste is enough.
2. Start kneading both components together.
3. You should get a uniform-colored mixture.
4. To make the mold with raised edges, use a yogurt cup as support.
5. Press the mixture inside, ensuring there's enough material in the center for the yolk cavity. Make the edges as high as you want the final egg to be.
6. Got something round? Perfect! Use it to shape the yolk cavity. If not, you can use your fingers.
7. Shape the egg white part unevenly to mimic a real egg. Smooth everything to remove any fingerprints.
8. Let it harden and then remove the mold from the yogurt cup.
9. Now it’s time to cast! The process is the same for soap or wax. First, melt the wax or soap base in a water bath, color it yellow, and add a few drops of fragrance. Use alcohol spray to remove surface bubbles on the soap.
10. Once it hardens, pour the white base, melt it again and add fragrance. No color is needed if using white soap base or soy wax.
11. Pop the egg out of the mold.
12. Making a candle? Heat a skewer or metal ball tool to make a hole in the center.
13. Pour the wax into a used candle container, leaving a long enough wick. Once the egg is ready, heat the surface with a heat gun or hair dryer to attach the egg securely.
14. Finally, thread the wick through the egg.
And that's it! When will you start crafting?
