Here are some alternative molds, you can use. For the sage soap, use little tart tins. If you do this, let soap dry right in the mold for the three weeks. For the milk soap, square plastic food containers work great. Get the kind with different compartments, that way you get two to three bars from one mold. You can also use the traditional wooden box mold. Remember, though, you will have to cut the soap into bars before drying.

Well I hope you try these recipes, and enjoy hand milling your own soap.

I make those "real" soaps too, but the caustic ingredients are tricky to work with. You really need to learn it hands on. Not on the internet. I wouldn't want someone to burn them selves, due to any o ...
