I'm making homemade soaps. I want to make them into large, square or rectangle bars. I've heard about using small milk cartons, but they are hard to come by. Any other recommendations for a soap mold? Craft stores don't have the size I'm looking for.. they are all too shallow. Thanks!

Also, I cannot mold the soap. It is liquid and VERY hot when it is poured. Thanks everyone!

"Jello" brand gelatin has made a lot of jelly molds that are smal enough and come in interesting shapes and sizes. My local thrift store had quite a few in the kitchen section. Check stores that sell kitchen stuff you may find food moulds there.

You can use anything as a mold. Look around your house/apartment, surely you have something in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. they will make a nice mold.

Can you form the soap into a small square loaf and slice the bars off? That's what our local soapmaker does....
