This cold process soap making tutorial shows you how to make a tiger swirl/tiger stripe cold process soap. This is the second video in my 'You can make this soap' series, where I hope, by breaking down the technique and giving lots of hints and tips you will be able to produce a beautiful tiger swirl soap.
This cold process soap making tutorial is complete in one part as there was no need for extras to be added in a second video.
Depending on whether you want to just do a tiger swirl/tiger stripe or the whole design with the scalloped base layer, you may just want to jump to the parts relevant to you. I've made some timestamps below that you can click on to take you to the parts you want to watch. If we're lucky KZfaq may have even put chapters in the scroll bar (but it can be random so they may not be there)

Disclaimer
Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.
