Nothing is more beautiful than a beautiful hand crafted bar of soap.
You can make any sizes, shapes and colors. Home made soap is very simple to make, and it is also very fun. If you have children and would like to do a simple craft, without the lye, you can make home made soap by melting down a bar of ivory soap. Grate it with a cheese grater and put it in a pan, and melt it down, add scent and pour it into a bowl. I made a soap bar like this except for I added a drop of vanilla, and some chopped almonds, Then It was a vanilla Almond bar of soap, and looks beautiful in a gift basket etc.
