Cold process soap is made from oils, lye, and water. When these ingredients are combined at the right temperature, they harden into soap in a process called saponification. Go to your local craft store and grocery store to purchase the ingredients listed. It's easiest to clear a space in the kitchen since you'll need to heat the ingredients over the stove. You'll be working with lye, a dangerous chemical, so make sure children and pets are not underfoot while you work. Spread newspaper over a table and assemble the following equipment, which can be sourced online or from your local craft store: Safety goggles and rubber gloves, to protect you from the lye. A scale to weigh the ingredients. A large stainless steel or enamel kettle. Do not use aluminum, and do not use a pot lined with a non-stick surface. A glass or plastic wide-mouth pitcher, to hold the water and lye. A two-cup plastic or glass measuring cup. Plastic or wooden spoons. A stick blender, also called an immersion blender. This isn't absolutely necessary, but it reduces stirring time by about an hour. Two glass thermometers that register between 80-100 degrees F. Candy thermometers work well for this purpose. Plastic molds that are suitable for cold process soapmaking, or shoebox, or a wooden mold. If you use a shoebox or wooden mold, line it with parchment paper. Multiple towels for cleanup. Before you start the soap-making process, read the safety warnings that came on your box of lye. Keep the following in mind as you handle lye or raw soap before it has been cured: Lye should never touch your skin, as it will burn you. Wear safety goggles and glove at all times while handling lye and raw soap. Work with lye outside or in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing in fumes.

summary: Gather the ingredients. Set up your soap-making workspace. Read up on how to work with lye safely.

You can tie a string underneath the lid, or you can attach it to one of the zip ties. Consider drilling two more small holes, then threading the rope through these holes. This rope should keep the trap from floating off downstream. You will use it to adjust and harvest the trap. First, tie the rope to a tree, a post, or another sturdy object to hold the trap in place. Finally, toss the trap a few feet out into the water, and make sure that it sinks. Check the rope to make sure that it's sturdy. Leave the trap in the stream overnight: crawfish tend to be most active in the dark, so you will be more likely to catch one overnight than during the day. In theory, the crawfish smell food and climb through the lid. When they want to get out, they can't figure out how to climb back through the hole to freedom. If you only wait a few hours or overnight, the crawfish should survive on the bait until you check the trap. If you wait much longer than a day or two, the crawfish might starve to death by the time that you come around. Be aware that the crawfish may not be able to breathe. When you return the next day, pull the trap out of the water by hauling on the rope. If it feels heavier than it should, it may be full of crawfish, or it may have sunk into the mud of the riverbed. Pull the trap out of the water and examine your catch! To empty the trap, simply unscrew the top cap of the bottle, then pour the crawfish into a bucket or net.

summary: Tie a thin rope or sturdy string to the trap. Set the trap. Check the trap.
