Oh my gosh. A beautiful. Gemerald. I live!
Ah good day, everyone!
And welcome to another Pinterest test video DIY coming at you straight from my DIY section of the room.
Uh, so I saw this gemstone DIY tutorial thing and I was like "oh my god I need my soap to be gemstones"
So, I am going to try to see if it works and make some magical crystal soap.
So these are the things that I have right down here
Uh, I have this mold that can be uh, well it's the mold that you put the stuff in
Um and by stuff I mean the glycerin soap.
I feel like glycerin is like a toxic thing
Glycerin, no, I don't know. It sounds dangerous.
So it has to be the clear glycerin for this specific DIY
Just because you want to see the colors I guess, I don't really know
I actually want to do a clear crystal as well
With just some glitter in it, to give it like an actual crystal look, I guess
Oh no, galaxy soap
Yeah, and then I also have some fragrances for the different soaps
And then lastly is just some food coloring... just some food coloring for the coloring of the soap which
wouldn't that just like stay on your hands? I don't know
I guess we'll find out when we wash our hands and our hands turn colors
Alright, so the first step is to cut the glycerin soap
into cubes to put into these bowls, which we are going to microwave
So we can pour into the molds
We got our trust, dusty, fee fi fo feisty knife-azoid
You be careful children...
With these knives, you don't want to chop off something that you can't put back on, if you know what I mean...
I used to think as a kid that if you chopped off, like, a finger,
or something, it would grow back... I was mistaken. That doesn't happen.
Okay. Anyways, let's take this knife, and let's cut the soap.
Oh my god. Oh, this is harder than I thought it was going to be!
Alright, be careful.
Actually, I don't recommend anyone under the age of 24
Cause that's how old I am
to use this.
knife
Get a parent to help you...
Because this is honestly really scary
Okay.
I don't know if I feel comfortable doing this.
Please, no one chop off their fingers.
Oh my gosh... okay...
Just gonna cut on down...
I think I just cut through the actual thing and I cut the table...
Alright, you know, I'm just going to just take the whole soap out and just put it on a cutting board, because
I feel like this will make it easier...
So let's see if it...
It's not coming out...
Oh! Okay... I got it, it is on this plate, lookin' real good-
Oh my god, it looks like a cake, should I eat it? Probably.
Don't lick it. It's soap.
Okay, so this will make it a lot easier...
Here's the proper soap-cutting technique in case you were wondering...
Oh gosh...
Oh my gosh, this is really hard...
Ahhh, I did it!
Wow!
So, I cut a piece of soap off...
Umm, I guess technically not, I want to melt this because I want to add the color
Like, oh I could just start shaping it now...
So now I'm going to cut it up even smaller so it can be microwaveable
Here we go, back to the cutting board...
All right, perfect! We have our first cubes, they're gorgee-ahnious
Just put them in this bowl...
Uh, and I'm gonna keep cutting, until I fill up all three bowls. BRB.
All right, so I have finished cutting and I have a very big bowl which I wanna use as my carving one
and also probably just for extra liquid in case I run out.
Um, and then we have three bowls of this, completely filled of glycerin soap,
Now let's head on downstairs and microwave the crap out of them!
Don't lick it.
Alrighty, so the soap is in the microwave, and it is ready to go...
So we're gonna pop this in for about 30 seconds,
Oh, I just cleared it...
Three-zero, start.
Go, babies, go! Melt away.... the soap. As it explodes.
Is it melting?
Are they melting?
Uh, I can't tell, I think they are!
Oh, no, there's still some hard ones.
All right, so these three cups are pretty melted, there's like a little foam on top,
Which I don't know if that's from microwaving it for too long, but it ended up going in for about a minute and a half,
And now we're about to take out the big boy!
Alrighty, so we're back upstairs, and I'm going to add the food coloring!
Which I'm super excited about because.... The color will be born!
Okay, so I'm gonna start with a purple, which is... red and blue.
So I'm going to add it into this one, just a few drops of blue
I'll do one, two, and then two drops of red... One, two.
All right, let's get to mixing!
Ohhh! Woah!
Magical!
Okay, so this is like a dark purple,
maybe I shouldn't have added two drops of each...
It's probably going to be really cool-looking.
Umm, so...
Next, I will add in the scent, which we have...
peach mango,
orange,
and... tropical.
So, I'm going to put tropical for the purple.
All right, so I'm going to add the tropical scent, I don't know how much I'm supposed to add,
so I'm gonna do like half-of-a-dropper-full,
actually, no, I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to add a few drops.
I added, like, maybe too much.
So I'm gonna give that- uh oh, it's sticking to the towel...
Umm, I'm gonna give that a stir...
It's already starting to like... create a solid top layer.
So, uhhhh, I'm going to quickly, uh
Pour the purple crystal mix into... which one?
I think I'll do it with this one.
So let's pour it on in
Wow, that was actually like the perfect amount!
I'm so impressed!
Next color
I think I'm just going to do a pink...
I don't have to do any mixing because I already have a pink food dye
So let's pour it on into this one...
I'm just going to do one drop because I don't want it to be too, like, dark.
Well, we can always add more. Right?
Right. Gorgeous!
Would ya look at that?
Just look at it. Oh, that's everything.
Daniel, offscreen: Keep spilling, sweetie.
I was spillin' til I can't spill no more is what I'm gonna do
Okay, so this is like a really light, like, pink. It's gonna be cute.
Maybe I should add some glitter to this one too!
I will.
Okay, so I'm just going to put a little bit of silver glitter into the pink.
Oh, magical.
Magical soap.
Oh, this soap needs more glitter.
MORE GLITTAH!
I feel like this will make your hands a little glittery, but that's okay!
Who doesn't want glittery hands?
Let's pour this one into this mold over here.
*whispers* Gorgeous.
Oh my gosh that's so cool!
Wonderful!!
Okay, and then for this last cup
that I have, I'm going to make this one a green.
So...
I wanna get some of these drops...
Drip, drop. I did two.
Maybe I'll make it like a lime green.
Oh wait, I already have lime green.
I will have to cut this one out of the bowl
uh, but first let's start with these.
Ohhhh, they just pop right on out!
That's cool!
Come on, get on out
Gorgeous!
Oh my gosh, a beautiful gemerald!
I live!
It's an emerald, but it's also a gemerald
Wow, these are so cool!
I honestly don't want to use these as soap, I just want them to be decorations
Again, this one is just too dark, it almost looks like it's a black
but it's just like a deep purple
Uh, it's pretty from some angles
this is what it looks like
It's so freaking gorgeous
It has all this glitter at the bottom, which I'm so excited, uh, to make into soap
I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm just going to start carving, umm, and we'll see what happens.
