Instructions: STEP 1: SLICE A 5 LB. BAR OF SOAP INTO CUBES.

The soap can be purchased at local craft stores. The soap used on Craft Corner was purchased from www.Yaley.com (http://www.Yaley.com)

STEP 2: PUT CUBED SLICES INTO A DOUBLE BOILER TIL SOAP LIQUIFIES.

You can also liquefy the soap in a microwave oven.

STEP 3: ADD COLORING (PURCHASED AT CRAFT STORES)

Remember to start with only a drop or two of coloring & because you can always add to the color & but you cant take away.

The best way to add color is allowing it to drop off a coffee stirrer so you truly dont use too much. Too much color can create a dull dark color.

STEP 4: ADD SOAP SCENT (PURCHASED AT CRAFT STORES)

ADD MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED, CAUSE IT WILL LOSE SOME OF ITS SCENT IN THE PROCESS.

STEP 5: POUR SOAP INTO MOLDS WITH A TURKEY BASTER

(MOLDS SHOULD BE LIGHTLY COATED WITH VEGETABLE OIL).

Molds can be purchased at craft stores&or you can use fancy ice cube trays.

STEP 6: IN LARGER MOLDS YOU CAN ADD POTPOURRI AND LAVENDER SEEDS.

If you dont color your soap you can put toys inside the clear soap.

STEP 7: LET SOAPS SET IN REFRIGERATOR

(BEST IF CURED AFTER 48 HOURS).

Additional tip: Package your soaps in baskets & add hand towels Great gift idea!
