crafting for the american cancer society

[glitteranddenim.livejournal.com]

on june 10th and 11th, i participated in my school's relay for life, an all-night event whose proceeds were donated to the american cancer society. teams of 10+ people were formed, and the teams set up a tent and at least one person from each team had to walk around the high school track all night. teams sold things, and there was a dj and everything- very fun.

the little symbol that goes with it is a purple hope ribbon, and so i ordered molds offline and had a great time with them.





the melted chocolate was so. good.



freaking bowl full! i wanted to eat them all.



here's a close up on the ribbon. my table isn't a very flattering background, but you get the idea.


then i gave the mold a good cleaning, and made soap!



i love how the purple color came out, it is absolutely exactly how i pictured it.



here they are displayed. the color looks brighter and prettier in person, trust me.

i made all different scents: eucalyptus mint, lavender, cucumber melon, jasmine oil, and green tea.

i made over 100 chocolate ribbons and probably close to 80 soaps, and unfortunately, very few of them sold at the event. so i have a whole bunch of chocolate and soap just sitting here. a lot of effort wasted, but it was for a good cause, and i'm proud of how the things turned out.
