Pretty neat I didn't know that you did this kind of stuff.

Yep! Been doing this sort of thing since July, right after I got back from Anthrocon. It's relaxing and fun to make these.

sweet!

How easy is it to make these? I know there are soap making kits out there and books on how to make them. But they always say it is easy.
I make candles myself. Though nothing really fancy.

That's literally it, I bought a kit and followed the directions the first few times I made them.

The simplest way is to take vegetable glycerin bricks (they sell them at Michael's) and cut them into smaller cubes, then melt them in the microwave (I usually start at 40 seconds, then 10 second intervals until there's no more chunks). Stir in some soap coloring and a fragrance, and pour the mix into a mold (I've been repurposing silicone ice and baking molds). It takes about 2 hours for the soaps to cool.

Get a kit, they're $20 and give you everything you need to start making stuff right away.

Thanks for the information.
I'd also like to find out how to reuse old soap when the bar is too small. I used to take old soap pieces and make liquid soap, but far too often couldn't get the mixture of water and soap right.

Seems I forgot to hit "Reply to this post" on yours before sending this message. At least you'll see it anyway.
