Here is one of the recipes that I make. It is called the Earth Bar. The bar is has nourishing wheat bran and cinnamon powder that softly exfoliates the skin. The green parsley adds a touch of natural color.
What you will need:
3 oz retangular mold. Now you can use any mold this is what I used.
cut up and melt 3 oz of white glycerin soap base(I have also made using clear)
mix and add the following:
4 drops green liquid colorant
2 drops orange liquid colorant
1/4 teaspoon wheat bran
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
a small sprinkle of cinammon powder
10 drop pine fragrance oil
5 drops sandalwood fragrance oil
5 drops patchouli fragrance oil
Stir the soap until it thickens so the additives are suspended through out the soap. Pout in the mold. Let harden. Remove from the mold and package as desired.
I hope that you will enjoy this one. Let me know if you decide to make it how it turns out.

All your ideas, gewcew, are so wonderful. If I didn't have about a million other crafts/hobbies going on right now, I'd probably take up soap making as well. Oh what the heck, I may as well learn right? I may as well get them started for Christmas this year. LOL!
Where do you find your supplies? Can you give me a link to websites that I can find these things at?
Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you. I love to make them. I also have other crafts that I make also. I get my supplies from hobby lobby and michaels craft stores. I also have gotten some off of ebay. You might also try www.etsy.com Oh and I also forgot about www.poshpoints.com I am not sure if there is something there or not. I also do searches on the the web to find supplies sites.

This is another great idea. I am going to have a lot of fun making all of these wonderful soaps. I am going to check around for the supplies I need to get started. I don't know what project I want to do first. You have posted so many wonderful projects.

I always love your recipes for soap making. All of them are very interesting and not hard to make when you have the ingredients.
I also just read your other recipe about that orange soap. The picture was so beautiful and I was wondering how come it looked like it has orange skin inside.
Thank you for sharing this with us. This is very nice of you.
I have a question: is it cinnamon powder or wheat bran that exfoliates the skin? Which one of them? Also, is the cinnamon powder, the same we use in the kitchen? I mean the natural one or is it something that is specifically used in soap recipes?
I am enjoying your recipes very much. Thank you!
