DIY Soap

Hello! Today we're going to make DIY soap. This is the easier method, because I used a melt and pour soap base instead of making it from scratch. You will need:

• Clear melt and pour soap base
• Optional: white melt and pour soap base
• Silicone molds
• Optional: soap coloring
• Optional: essential oils or soap fragrance oils

First, melt your soap in the microwave for about 3 minutes, stirring at 30 second intervals.

Then, if you want to add coloring or scents, add them in. I used 5-6 drops of the fragrance oil, and 2-3 drops of soap coloring.

Next, pour the liquid into the molds. This is optional if you want the soaps to have an opaque bottom. Pour the liquid soap 3/4 of the way full into the mold. Let sit or put in refrigerator until cool. Mine took about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Melt the white soap base in the microwave just like the clear soap. Add coloring and fragrance if desired.

 Pour the soap onto the tops of the clear soap to fill the mold to the top.

Let them cool, and you're done! Mine turned out like this:

I really enjoyed making these soaps. This DIY is super easy to make, and a fun project all around. They make great gifts, and you can personalize them by changing the scent and color of the soap. I really recommend doing this sometime. 

Until next week!
