It is so nice to use the cooked soap with your own hand! Many people think that it is difficult to cook soap. This is wrong. You should only stock up on the necessary amount of knowledge, ingredients and patience. How to cook soap yourself?
You will need:
Ordinary soap
Elastic plastic molds
Liquid food dyes
Concentrated aromatic aromas
Herbs
Spices
Since the soap is quickly hardened, all the ingredients must be prepared in advance.
The course of work:
Melt the soap.
Cut the soap into cubes and heat in a water bath with constant stirring until it becomes liquid. But do not bring the mass to a boil, it will ruin it all!
Pour into molds.
Pour melted soap into plastic molds. You can use, for example, molds from yogurt.
Dyes, flavors and herbs.
And now you will need creative work: lavender flowers, cocoa, coffee or orange peel – choose everything you like. Mix the paints and aromatic aromas carefully, otherwise bubbles will arise. To get the effect of marble, fill the mold with melted soap in a height of 1 cm, mix the food dye, wait until the mass dries half and pour in the rest of the soap. Mix the grass or just sprinkle them on top.
Cool soap.
This process will accelerate if you place the resulting mixture in the refrigerator and leave for half an hour, but you may need several hours.
Carefully take out the hardened soap from the mold. Pinch the ugly edges with a knife. Then cut the soap with a kitchen knife into pieces. And do not be afraid of errors: in any case, you can melt the soap again and cook all over again.
As you can see, to cook soap yourself, nothing supernatural is required. A little fantasy and patience!
