Re: Anybody make soap? I have made my own soap in the past. There is an important distinction to know here. Some people make their own soap from oil and lye and water. That is called "cold process" soapmaking (that's me). Other people buy premade soap from craft stores, melt it, add scents or colors then mould it.
I'm not sure which one you want to do.
The really cheap way is to do cold process. The Majestic Mountain Sage website has very detailed advice on this. Use generic crisco, red devil lye, and the cheapest gallon of olive oil you can find.
I don't know were you live. I'm about to move and ready to part w. some of my soapmaking stuff, so if you live in Michigan LMK. |
