Handmade Gifts- Soaps

 

Hello to all my sweet friends out there!

I promised I’d share some of our homemade Christmas

gift ideas with you this Holiday season…

I wanted to share with you my first soap-making adventure.

I’ve been wanting to try making soaps at home…

so I researched and found some

great recipes HERE on Martha Stewart's website.

We made cinnamon-clove soap, an orange zest soap,

oatmeal-honey soap, and lavender.

This is a great craft for the kids to get involved.

My “little ones” stirred in the ingredients and

grated the orange zest. (with supervision- it’s very HOT)

I love that you can chose almost any container as a mold.

We used little tart molds, Christmas tree ramekins, and

snowman jello molds.

We followed the Martha Stewart Soap Recipes HERE,

then let them dry overnight.

Packaging and/or wrapping the soaps is

fun, too!

You can also check out Martha's Soap Making Basics

if you are a beginner, like me :)

Well, I hope you get a chance to try soap-making

during your craft time this Christmas :)

Let me know how it goes…

 

P.S.

This is our early Christmas surprise…

say Hello to Jovi

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Lots of love & Blessings
