Yah, I know.. this is the first time that you see a shotglass soap.
I believe that I am the first soapcrafter who made this. (Well, I tried to search on available postings and I can't seem to find any -- so maybe I am right and it is possible that I am wrong too)
I was thinking of a possible soap project lately. Then, I noticed that most of the people that I came across with (housemates, friends and colleagues) were complaining about the weather. It is really warm here. Normal room temp ranges from 30 to 33 degrees C and the humidity ranges from 69% to 76%. That gave me the idea of making a soap that looks like drinks/wine.
Here, I've used an ice mold to make the shot glass soap. Then, I filled it up with transparent soap base where I tried to match the color or whiskey/punch. I struggled in removing the soap from the mold. This mold that I bought were very thick. I could have easily removed it if I would forcefully do so but I am afraid that I might accidentally deform the shape of the shot glass soap. I ended up using a tool (wooden handle of the pie cutter) and that helped me to push the soaps out from the mold without deforming it.
I liked this project so much. Will try to make more of this in the future.
Here are the photos of the shotglass soaps. Did you know that taking the photo of the shotglass soaps is also a challenge? We need to purposely dim the lights so that we can capture the details of the shotglass soaps and highlight its transparency.
I'm sure you'd like to see on how I struggled in demolding the soaps, so below is the video.
Have you tried using ice shotglass silicon mold before? if yes? on what projects? Let me know your comments.
