Supplies needed:
¾ lb melt and pour soap base
Lavender essential oil
½ tsp lavender mica powder
1 tbsp dried lavender buds
2 – 4 cup microwave-safe measuring cups with spout
2 wooden craft sticks for stirring

2. Cut the soap base into 1-inch cubes, and divide between the two measuring cups.
3. Place both measuring cups in the microwave, and heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each heating session, until the soap base is fully melted.
4. Add 15 drops of lavender essential oil to each of the measuring cups, and stir well.
5. Add the mica powder to one of the measuring cups, and stir until the color is solid.

8. Continue alternating pours between the two colors until you have used up all of the soap base.
