DIY Soap!

I’ve always wanted to give soap making a try. (and making resin jewelry–thats for another day) I was a bit skeptical at first about ingredients but i found a brand of clear soap base that seemed fine, but i couldn’t find it specifying in the ingredients if the glycerin was animal or vegetable based. It took me awhile to realize that it smack dab on the front of the package it said something like “all natural ingredients, vegetable glycerin” So i was good to go.

We used plastic tupperware as molds (yay for not having to buy any!) and we bought some soap coloring. Everyone used real fruits; i chose sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla…yummm

I did four layers, in the bottom layer i did brown sugar but realized that wasn’t such a good idea to use so much of it. (It was falling off) It would have worked much better if it was something solid like coffee beans. In the middle i put in a cut out magazine picture of a heart :)
