Do you love watermelon as much as I do?

你們有像我一樣喜歡西瓜嗎？

Since watermelon is one of my favourite fruits

西瓜是我最喜歡的水果之一

I got inspired to create watermelon popsicle soap that is perfect as a gift!

我從中得到靈感製作西瓜冰棒香皂，拿來送禮簡直太完美了！

It's easy and fun to make and you can create this soap for a lot of people at the same time!

作法簡單有趣，你還可以在同個時間為很多人製作這款香皂！

So let's begin!

我們開始吧！

For this project you are going to need a popsicle mold,

這個教學中，你會用到冰棒模具、

popsicle sticks,

冰棒棍、

white and transparent soap base.

白色和透明的皂基

This is just a normal glycerin soap that I got from Amazon.

這是我在亞馬遜買的一般的甘油肥皂

You will also need green and red soap colour.

你也會用到綠色和紅色的肥皂色料

You can use food colouring as well, but it might stain so be careful

你也可以用食用色素，不過要小心，可能會染上污漬

And if you want to make the soap smell really really good, you will also need a soap scent.

如果你想讓香皂特別特別好聞的話，就需要用到香精

I used melon scent that I got online.

我用的是網路上買的西瓜香精

A measuring cup.

一個量杯

I used a Pyrex cup since I can be sure that it won't melt or break in the process

我用的是 Pyrex (派熱克斯玻璃) 量杯，我確定它在過程中不會融化或破掉

You will also need rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

你也會用到一罐外用酒精噴瓶

For more information about it check out the description box!

影片描述中有更多資訊！

This is optional, but you can also use poppy seeds for the watermelon seeds.

你可以用罌粟籽來充當西瓜籽，這個步驟看個人選擇

And you will also need clothes pins.

還會用到曬衣夾

Cut the transparent soap base into small pieces so that it melts quicker

把透明皂基切成小塊以加快融化的速度

put it into your glass cup and then put it in the microwave on about medium-low heat until the soap has completely melted.

將它們放入玻璃量杯後，再放入微波爐以中低溫加熱至肥皂完全融化

When everything has melted, spray a little bit of rubbing alcohol to remove the bubbles,

待全部融化後，噴一些外用酒精把泡泡去除

then go ahead and add the red colour.

接著加入紅色色料

Add as many drops as you need to achieve your desired shade of red.

加到顏色變成你希望達到的紅色色調

if you have that, you can now add some scent to the soap.

顏色完成後，加入一些香精

Make sure to mix everything very well.

一定要攪拌均勻

This part is optional, but if you would like to add something that looks like watermelon seeds, you can use poppy seeds.

接下來這個部份非必要，不過如果你想要有西瓜籽的效果，可以用罌粟籽

They are pretty small, but I think the result still looks really cute.

它們蠻小的，但我覺得用起來還是挺可愛

Now pour the soap into the mold.

現在可以把肥皂倒入模具中

If the soap has thickened a bit while you were adding the colour and scent,

如果肥皂在你加入色料和香精的時候凝固，

I would recommend to put the soap back in the microwave before pouring it to prevent clumping.

我建議可以再次把肥皂放入微波爐，避免倒出來的時候凝成塊

And then spray the top with some rubbing alcohol to remove the left over bubbles on the surface.

接著在上面噴一點外用酒精，去除表面剩餘的泡泡

Pour as much red soap into the mold as you like.

你可依照個人喜歡的份量將紅色香皂倒入模具

It all depends on how big you want the soap to be in the end, so experiment!

一切都取決於你想要的成品大小，所以實驗看看吧！

If you added the seeds but now a lot of them are swimming on top,

如果你加的籽還有很多浮在上面的話

you can use one of the popsicle sticks and remove them.

可以利用冰棒棍將它們取出

Some seeds will still be on top, so make sure you don't add too much in the beginning.

有些籽依然會在上面，所以一開始加的時候量不要加太多

Then go ahead and add the popsicle sticks into the mold.

接著將冰棒棍放入模具中

Make sure you dip it half-way so it looks nicer

將棍子放到一半的位置，這樣比較好看

To secure the sticks I used 2 clothes pins that I pinned into each other like that.

我像這樣把 2 個曬衣夾相互夾著，將冰棒棍固定

This is great, if your pins are not big enough.

如果你的曬衣夾不夠大的話，這個做法很好用

Let it cool down for a bit,

讓它冷卻

and in the meantime cut more soap into pieces for the next layer.

利用這個時間將更多肥皂切塊，來製作另外一層

This time we are going to need white soap base.

這次我們用的是白色皂基

Put it in the microwave and melt it as well.

一樣將它放入微波爐融化

After that add the scent if you want and then add a little bit of green soap colour.

接著可選擇是否加入香精，然後再加一點點綠色色料

we want to make the white slightly green so it's not completely white.

我們要讓白色看起來稍微帶點綠，不要全白

Let it cool down for a bit.

讓它冷卻

Make sure the layer of the red soap has a slightly thick surface.

先確認紅色那層的表面是否已稍微定型

Then the next soap layer can't be too hot while pouring,

倒入下一層肥皂的時候要注意溫度不能太高，

since it will melt a hole into the surface and the soap will just sink through and you end up with something like this.

不然會把表面溶出一個洞，跟第一層肥皂混在一起，結果會變成類似這樣

But don't wait too long since the layers might not attach.

但是也不要等太久，不然層與層之間可能無法附著

Then pour in the next layer and spray a little bit of rubbing alcohol on top.

接著，倒入下一層並在上面噴一點外用酒精

I would recommend adding just a thin layer of this colour as I found that it looked better in the end,

我會建議你這個顏色只要薄薄的一層，我發現有加這層的成品比較好看

but you can experiment so you find out which design you prefer!

不過你可以實驗看看你比較喜歡哪種設計！

When the second layer has been poured in, make another darker green quickly as the soap will cool down faster.

倒入第二層之後，肥皂會很快冷卻，所以要趕快再做深綠色的那一層

Add a few drops of the green colour and mix everything very well.

加入幾滴綠色色料並攪拌均勻

Pour a thin layer into the mold and don't forget to spray some rubbing alcohol on top when poured in.

往模具裡倒入薄薄的一層後，記得噴上一些外用酒精

After that add more green into the rest of the green soap.

接著再往剩餘的綠色肥皂加入多點綠色色料

It will be probably pretty clumpy so make sure to put it in the microwave to melt it again.

它有可能會結成塊所以要再把它放入微波爐融化

Then spray some rubbing alcohol on top and pour another thin layer into the mold.

在表面噴一些外用酒精然後再往模具裡倒薄薄的一層

This is going to be the last layer, so make sure to spray more rubbing alcohol on top.

這是最後一層所以要在上面多噴點外用酒精

By now you probably won't need the clothes pins but be careful.

現階段已經不需要再用到曬衣架了，不過還是要小心

Now you just need to let the soap stand still until it has hardened.

現在只要讓香皂自然凝固

I would recommend to wait at least one day to make sure you don't ruin the layers while pulling the soap out of the mold.

我建議至少要放一天，以防脫模的時候破壞層次

For this part, press the walls of the mold to the outside to detach the soap

在這個步驟，將模具的側壁往外推以便使其與香皂分離

This way we create a little air pocket. You will notice it when the colour has changed.

這樣可以讓空氣進來，你會發現顏色變得不一樣

This means the soap has pulled away from the mold.

代表香皂已經跟模具分離了

Then keep squeezing all around your mold to create more air pockets.

繼續按壓整個模具，讓更多空氣進入

I also pushed from the buttom and from each side this way the air could move around the soap.

我也會按壓底下各個角落，這樣可以讓空氣流動

And then you should be able to remove the soap from the mold.

接著就應該可以順利將香皂從模具中取出

This is how it should look like.

看起來像這個樣子

As you can see the seeds didn't turn out very well this time.

如你所見，這次的籽做起來的效果不太好

So keep that in mind that you have to be very careful with them, if you want to add poppy seeds.

所以如果要加罌粟籽的話，記得在製作上要很小心

I tried different designs for the green layers to make it look more realistic.

我嘗試了各種設計，想讓綠色層次看起來更逼真

First I added a lot of green layers, then added less, what version do you like most?

一開始我加了很多層綠色，後來改少一點。 你們比較喜歡哪一個版本？

And if you would like to give the soap to someone, you can add one of the popsicles into a plastic bag.

如果想要送禮的話可以將一個冰棒香皂放入塑膠袋內

Mine is for cookies and food.

我用的是拿來裝曲奇餅和食物的袋子

Then, wrap around some gift ribbon in different colours.

接著，綁上不同顏色的緞帶

I used red and green, and then added some curls with my scissors.

我用的是紅色跟綠色，再用剪刀把它們弄捲

Since the bag was a little bit big, I cut off the excess plastic but this is optional.

因為袋子有點大，所以我把多餘的部份剪掉，這個步驟看個人喜好

And you are done!

完成了！

And if you don't like how it turned out, you can always cut off the layers and melt them again.

如果整體不喜歡的話，可以再把層次分別切下來重新融化

This way you won't really ruin the end result since you can always try it again!

這樣你就可以不斷的嘗試，不會影響成品
