Rosie When I started I did a class with Gina you can contact her via this forum. I used cleaned out 1 lt milk cartons and they are really good you still have to cut them though. If you really get into soapmaking then you¹ll probably want to use silicone molds as they enable you to remove soap easy without damaging the soap. I¹ve invested in some silicone molds from Soapcraft¹s website and I love using them because they make soaping so much easier.
