I love homemade gifts.
The girls are making gifts for family and friends.
We wanted to find things that were useful and practical.
Last weekend, we made soap.
After perusing several soap making guides and websites, we just bought a kit at the craft store.
There are a ton of options and possibilities and things to consider when making soap.
Buying a kit that contained all of the glycerin needed for our gifts, plus several fragrances, several mineral colorants, loofah and crushed apricot seeds, as well as beautiful molds fit the bill!
It was a blast!
And super easy!
But you have to work super fast!
Once the glycerin is melted you only have so much time to mix in the colorant and fragrance before it begins to harden.

| You melt the glycerin in the microwave. No more than 30 seconds or it bubbles over and makes a mess. I learned the hard way. |
