Easy Shortcut for Making Soap

Share this on:

For an easy shortcut for soap gift-giving, purchase a few bars of cheap, plain soap at the supermarket. Shave the soap into small pieces, melt, and add in special touches such as color, oatmeal, fresh herbs, honey, glitter, or scent. You can use special molds for interesting shapes. I purchased some bars of generic soap, melted it down, and mixed in oatmeal and honey. This mixture is very good for sensitive skin and I gave a couple bars to my mother for Christmas. You can also purchase melt and pour soap bases.

Reader Submitted Tip- Use unsweetened kool aid to color homemade soaps.

Enjoy!
