  • . In-the-Pot Swirl (Easy & Stunning)

  • Divide your traced soap batter into 2–3 containers.
  • Add different colorants to each.
  • Pour each back into the main pot from different sides.
  • Give one gentle “S” stir with a spatula.
  • Pour into mold — you’ll get natural, flowing swirls!

How to make the infusion: Indigo powser

  1. Add indigo to your oil in the jar (e.g., 2 tsp indigo + 200 g oil).
  2. Shake or stir to mix well.
  3. Let it sit in a warm, dark spot for 3–7 days, shaking daily.
    • For faster results, you can gently warm it (around 50°C / 120°F) for 1–2 hours using a double boiler, then let it settle.
  4. Strain through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove sediment.
👉 Use this infused oil as part of your soap oils — it will tint the batter a soft cornflower to denim blue, depending on concentration and pH.
