Homemade Soaps

Here's a treat for yourself or to give as a gift. The entire family will enjoy using these soaps and they are really easy to make.

Here's what you need:
Soap Molds (or use milk cartons, small cans or cups)
Spray vegetable oil
Glycerin Soap
(unscented, clear - you can get these a most craft stores on the Internet)
A Chopping Block or old dish to chop on
Sharp Knife
Measuring Cup (Microwaveable glass)
Microwave Oven
Soap Coloring
Toothpicks

1) Lightly spray mold with unflavored vegetable oil.
Spray approximately 6" away from the mold.

2) Use a sharp knife, gut the glycerin into small cubes approximately 1" square.

3) Place cubes in the measuring cup and heat in a microwave oven on high heat until glycerin is melted.
This usually takes about one minute (but we all know microwaves vary)

4) Using a potholder to hold the mold, pour the melted glycerin into mold, milk carton, cup etc.

5) Swirl one drop of soap coloring in center of mold with toothpick for marbleized effect.

6) Let soap cool 30 minutes. Turn the soap mold onto wax paper to release soap. For milk carton mold, cut side with scissors to release soap. for tin can molds, cut bottom with opener and push soap out.

If you want to add your favorite scent to this you are welcome to do so when adding color but be careful with mixtures. You may want to add potpourri or be creative. Wrap up soap to give as a gift or use for the entire family.
