Making our wedding favors meant so much to me, and turned out to be extremely rewarding. I hope that you too will consider making your own favors. As promised, I present you with my DIY Eiffel Tower soap tutorial.
Supplies needed:
Steps:
1. Using a butter knife, cut desired amount of soap base from cube; 1 cube equals 1 ounce, which fills approximately 1 mold. (I only have 6 molds, so I cut 6 cubes).
2. Place soap base cubes into a microwave safe dish and microwave for 40 seconds. Stir until all cubes are completely melted. If needed, microwave at 10 second intervals to melt remaining cubes.
3. If desired, stir in 1 to 6 drops of fragrance oil per ounce of soap base. (I used 10 drops of honey almond oil per 6 ounces/6 cubes).
4. Quickly pour soap base into molds.
5. Let soap harden. (Mine took around 20 minutes).
6. To release soap from mold, apply pressure to the back of the soap mold. (This was easier than I thought it would be).
7. Place soap into a clear treat bag and tie with ribbon.
If you made your own soap for favors, what shape would you choose?

holy crafty cow, batman! these are most excellent and would’ve been perfect for making our french speaking relatives feel right at home 
so cute!!
This is so cool, and looks easy too! Thanks so much for posting. Soap always makes a nice and unexpected favor!
These are so cute! I can’t think of a better shape, too- nice job:)
Haha I’d be the idiot guest who thought they were white chocolate… they look great!
So cute! And it sounds so easy… They turned out much better than my own chocolate Eiffel Tower disasters (which I ended up scrapping)
Although I might try and eat these too, haha.
Adorable!! We both love japanese culture, so maybe cherry blossoms or something like that. I wonder if you can change the color with food coloring. Great job!!
I could totally handle that kind of DIY! I think for sure I’m going to do it for our OOT bags or something. Great suggestion! Where’d you get the scented oil?
I would make starfish soap if I were to make soap. Yours look great and I love the meaning behind them!
Great tutorial, Miss Spring Roll! I might do this for our OOT bags… 
Nice job, I never would have guessed it would be so easy! I would probably choose a daisy or tulip.
Wow!!!! How great! Thanks for sharing Miss Spring Roll!
And Miss Taffy, what a great idea to use these for OOT bags. I might do the same!
Miss Spring Roll, any idea how long these last? Could I do them a few months before the wedding, or should I wait until I get closer?
Great tutorial! ^_^
I did want to add though, that if you’re putting a Fragrance in it then I would suggest indicating that on the tag in case you have guests that are highly sensitive to fragrances.
They look sooo easy. What a great personal touch for a wedding!
@kelly: you are not alone. I thought the same especially when I saw the mold with the stick area. Mmm, white chocolate lolli.
