Regina Filange Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I wanting to make a loaf of soap and try CP for the first time (I've only done CrockPot HP so far). But I'm noticing the very high prices of all the nice loaf molds out there.Do you guys have any brilliant ideas of other things I can use to make a 2 or 3 pound loaf and is the same size as your typical loaf mold? If so, what do you use to line your item/is it hard to remove from the makeshift mold?I have a crinkle slicer and really would like to make some nice thick slices.Any info or ideas would be great!TIA!

Scent Cellar Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You can use a shoe box, a large candy box, a flat rate USPS box .. almost anything will work. Line it with a garbage bag or use freezer paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley_miley Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 At WalMart, in the office supply section, they have these Rubbermaid drawer organizers, for like $4.50 or something...they are soooo awesome, lol....it is black and has about 6 compartments, so I can make a little or a lot, and they are very flexible, so I don't even have to line them with the freezer paper...I just pop my soap right out! And IMO, they make perfectly shaped bars when I slice them.They are kept where all that receipt paper, and business card holders, paperclips, etc. are.

jwahlton Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I still have this box that I been using since the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy-girl Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have used the plastic shoe box containers in the past. ACMOORE has them on sale for 3/$1 frequently. spritz with Pam and soap away. I've lost a very few due to the heat ( and frequent use) but easier to throw away a 33 cent container than battle my Kelsie mold sometimes..

Guest EMercier Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I made my own loaf mold from supplies I got at Lowes. That's if your handy. I just used a small hacksaw, some wood glue and a few finishing nails. I do line it with freezer paper. The pieces cost me about $7. Could've been less because I also bought a few other things. They have the pre-cut pieces and you can have them cut them down to your specifications or cut them yourself. Didn't take long at all to put together. HTH. I had enough for all 5 sides and a top to put over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Try the dollar store, too. I got some drawer organizers there that I've used for CP soap. Just line them and you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
