Can anyone tell me where you can buy soap molds? i wanna make soap :D

You can buy soap molds at most of the major craft store chains (JoAnn, Michaels, ACMoore, Hobby Lobby, etc.), or you can pick up supplies from EBay or other online sources.

For smaller soaps, look in the candy-making section as well as the soap-making section – all of those molds are appropriate as well.

Keep in mind that anything semi-flexible plastic can be used as a soap mold though – old ice cube tray, cleaned out frosting tub, kids toys, etc – look around your house and see what kind of interesting shapes you can come up with! To release a soap from a mold, run hot water over the mold – the soap should come right out. If you use more of a 'disposable' mold, you can also cut it off if that gives you a more interesting shape.

    I'm not sure where to get them, maybe at a craft store. But here, is a guide from About.com on soap making.

    Ac Moore and Michaels both carry them. Some walmarts will carry – but not all of them.

    I have also used large candy molds to make those little soaps you fill a dish with for guests.

    There are other sources on line, but I haven't used them personally.

    I have seen them at both Michaels and JoAnn's. Check there first because you get them faster. Then, try eBay. I'm sure a lot of folks get started in the soapmaking (like every other hobby) and then drop it. They often sell off their crafts supplies on eBay when they switch to a new craft or hobby.

    Whatever local craft stores you have. Here it is Michael's, Pat Catan's and Hobby Lobby. You can shop at most or all of these on line also.
