Materials

1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon poppy Seeds
30 drops sandalwood fragrance oil
Silicone soap mold
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Wooden craft sticks for stirring
Rubbing alcohol
Directions
1. Cut soap into one-inch cubes.
2. Divide soap evenly into 3 measuring cups.
3. Melt the first set of soap base in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. If not completely melted, continue heating in 10-second intervals, until fully melted.
4. Let sit for a few minutes. Add 15 drops sandalwood fragrance oil and ¾ of the coffee grounds.
5. Stir coffee grounds into soap base and pour into the soap mold. Sprinkle remaining coffee grounds on top. Spray liberally with rubbing alcohol to reduce bubbles and allow the next layer to bond well.
6. Let the soap sit undisturbed for about an hour.
7. Melt the second set of soap base in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. If not completely melted, continue heating in 10-second intervals, until fully melted.
8. Let sit for a few minutes. Stir well, and add 15 drops sandalwood fragrance oil and ¾ of paprika (for a natural colorant)
9. Stir Paprika into soap base and pour into the soap mold. Sprinkle remaining Paprika on tops of soap layer. Spray liberally with rubbing alcohol to reduce bubbles and allow the next layer to bond well.
10. Let the soap sit undisturbed for about an hour.
11. Melt the third set of soap base in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. If not completely melted, continue heating in 10-second intervals, until fully melted.
12. Let sit for a few minutes. Stir well and add 15 drops sandalwood fragrance oil and ⅔ of the poppy seeds (for a natural colorant).
13. Stir poppy seeds into soap base and pour into the soap mold.
14. Using a craft stick, make swirling motions in the soap with this layer, continuing until soap is slightly hard. This provides a bumpy effect, just for looks.
15. Sprinkle remaining poppy seeds down the middle and spray liberally with rubbing alcohol.
16. Allow soap to set for 2 hours. Remove from mold and cut into one-inch bars
