Create soap that makes people ask, “How did you make that?”
If you enjoy the creative side of soap making and want to try something a little different, the Soap Kaleidoscope Kit gives you a way to create those beautiful pull-through designs that look far more complicated than the process behind them.
 
Known as the Soap Pull-Through Design method, this technique lets you build layers of colour and pattern inside the mould, then pull the design through the soap to reveal the finished pattern.
 
The result?
Beautiful round soaps with patterns that can look almost kaleidoscopic, depending on the design tools and colours you choose.
 
It's one of those techniques where you can make something once, look at the finished soap and think, “I want to try that again with different colours.”
 
The Kaleidoscope Kit is for soap makers who enjoy experimenting with colour, pattern and different design techniques.
 
It's particularly suited to makers who have already made basic soap designs and are ready to try something that gives them a completely different finished look.
 
You don't need to make every batch the same, either. Change the colours, experiment with your pour and swap your design tools to create different patterns.
 
What can you create?
The kit is designed for creating round soap with layered, pull-through and kaleidoscope-style patterns.
 
The finished design depends on the colours and arrangement you use, so there is plenty of room to experiment.
 
And that's really the fun of this technique. The same tools can produce very different results from one batch to the next.

We can supply the design tools separately, allowing you to use them with your existing mould.
Additional design tools are also available separately, so you can build up your collection and experiment with different patterns.
 
Minimum custom design tool size: 60 mm.
 
Custom kits and sizes can also be discussed with us.
 
A rather unexpected mould option...
Here's one of our favourite little soap-making hacks.
If you happen to enjoy Pringles, don't throw the empty tube away!
The Kaleidoscope Kit design tools fit neatly into a Pringles tube, giving you another option for creating your round soap mould.
 
So your snack can become part of the soap-making equipment. We quite like that. 😂
 
A great match for your finished soap
Once you've created your round soap, our Round Soap Beveller makes a lovely companion tool for finishing the edges and giving your bars a neat, polished appearance.
 
If you're building a collection of tools for round soap designs, the two work particularly well together.
