I have tried the melt and pour method using store bought soap, but would like to try making it from scratch.

I can always remember my mum keeping all the old bits of soap in an old saucepan in the bottom of the cupboard in the kitchen. Then when she had enough, melting them down and makeing a new bar or two out of all the old bits!
Now thats what i call saving money!

I tried doing that and ended up with a foul smelling bar of soap.

I will send you the recipes and links for making your own soaps. I too am looking for products that I could sell. My brother and his wife are making shortbread and doing quite well at selling it. It has always been my hope to be able to start a business of my own. Maybe we will both have luck on our side.
I have many ideas that I could share with you. Keep an eye on my topic posts.

Candle making is also something that I have been thinking about trying. I am a very creative person and love making homemade gifts.

You should try it sometime. There are a lot of ideas that I have found as being a member of Gather. Check it out.

I've never tried making my own. I did visit a woman that raised rats one time and she made soap. She gave a bar to the women I brought to see her rats. It was great smelling but none of them tried it...they all put in in their dressers. I may try it sometime but I'm more looking forward to making candles.

I think this a real great idea and sounds like fun I think I would love to try it maybe my kids would enjoy helping me we could buy toy's and added then in the soap and could be a very fun experience..They could use them in the tub and when the soap is all removed from the toy that will be the bonus great idea...would love if u passed ur know how on to me if u don't mind sharing it sounds wonderful..Also sounds relaxing to make lavander soap like calming breeze...

I have not, but it seems to be a very popular homesteading activity and I would like to give it a go myself. I am a little apprehensive about it though. I would like to get a milk goat and make goat's milk soap, it is supposed to be very healthy for your skin.
