Handmade Soap
Handmade Soap

I want to make my own handmade soap. Anyone experienced and willing to share how to's??
I am scared to hanlde the lye. I am also kind of clutzy. And I do have little ones in the house. But I do want to make that soap!! Please someone tell me all about it. And where do I get lye anyway??
I make soap and bath salts quite often.
Go to a craft store and buy the blocks of soap. Not Dial or anything like that, but actual glycerine soap. It comes in different colors. Then pick out a mold that you would like to use for your soap.. this is also sold at the craft store. And lastly, pick out fragrance oils that you like.
Cut up the glycerine soap block into small chunks and put in a pot and heat until it has liquified. Add your fragrance oils to create a scent that you like. You can mix different colored soaps to create a unique color of your own.
When you've got the perfect color and scent, pour the liquified soap into your mold. Let it cool and then you're done!
A really unique soap I make is a watermelon slice. I have a mold that looks like half of a cylindrical object. I heat greeen soap first and coat the mold in a thick layer. Then I heat up red soap and fill up the rest of the mold with it. When it has dried, I slice it into little watermelon slices. I always wrap my soaps in plastic wrap to keep the scent fresh.
If you want to make bath salts, just take 2 parts epsom salts and 1 part table salt and mix them together in a bowl. Add food coloring or dye to create your desired color and then add fragrance oils to create a scent. Then let it dry and put in a decorative jar.
Hope you enjoy!

Making handmade soap from natural and organic ingredients (soap making process)
If someone wanted to make you handmade soap, what would you want?
My wife & I make handmade soap from scratch, using oils and lye as the base.
We would like to know what features or details would general people like/want in a custom made soap.
For example, what color? What scent/fragrance? What design? (round, or square, or other shape....)
If you have NEVER used or even bought a bar of handmade soap, what would entice you to?
Thanks for all reasonable answers!
I would love to find a cucumber/melon scent with that "loofah" type grit in it. Rectangle shape. (From time to time I'd appreciate finding a specialty shape that was in a normal size) I've purchased home made lye based soap before, I was a little disappointed with the foaming ability. I love for a soap to lather up/foam up well when you use it.
I really don't care about the color of a soap, as long as it suds well, cleans well, and smells good. (Except, now,I'm more curious about the color. I tend to shy away from anything red, since I got a specialty soap that dyed my tub, washcloths, etc... red.)
