1. Follow the directions for creating soap curls if you are going to include them in your design.
   
   
2. You can make the base for this homemade soap recipe following the instructions for your preferred soap making method on "The Process" page.
   
   
3. Do not add the coconut milk to the lye water. Hold on to it until the soap reaches a thin trace and then add it to the soap base.
   
   
4. Mix in the micas using the stick blender and then add the scent blend.
   
   
5. Once the soap base has reached a medium thick trace, pour it over the soap curls in your soap mold.
   
   
6. Don't forget that the soap will pour a bit higher than normal due to the extra soap.
   
   
7. Gently tap the soap mold on the counter to get out any air bubbles.
   
   
8. Finish up as per the soap making instructions for the method you are using.
