a decorative touch. also you can not fill the mold all the way and layer it with oatmeal and layer more soap mix on top. it gives it a nice look to it. after your soap is all in the mold sprinkle some more oatmeal if you'd like. your soap will be ready within 3 hours. i like to leave it overnight. waking up to a homemade soap is like christmas morning for me.
out of the mold. what a beauty!
i sliced my soaps with a crinkle cutter. after slicing i wrapped in plastic wrap. viola! ready to use when you are. i hope you guys enjoy this as much as
