How to Make Simple Homemade Soap

Making your own simple homemade soap is not hard to do, and can be done in a few minutes. You can make your own simple homemade soap starting off with glycerin soap, as well as some food coloring and fragrance, if desired. You can make your own soap in a few short steps.

1. Purchase at least one pound of glycerin soap at a craft store. Melt one pound of the soap using a double boiler on your stove. You can also melt the soap in your microwave if you desire. It will take approximately 3 to 5 minutes to melt the soap no matter what way you do it, depending on your stove or microwave.


2. Color the soap by adding drops of food coloring to it to a shade you desire. Stop bubbles from forming in the soap by spraying rubbing alcohol on it.


3. Add glycerin fragrance to the soap if you desire. You can also add liquid Vitamin E, flower petals, or other vitamin powders to the soap, if you desire.


4. Place the soap mixture into a mold, making sure no bubbles form. If you see any bubbles, spray the rubbing alcohol on it.


5. Allow the soap molds to cool for approximately 45 minutes, and then put them in your freezer for 30 minutes.


6. Take the soap bars out of the mold when they are cooled down. Place them in plastic wrap. You can use colored plastic wrap if you desire to make them more decorative, if you did not color the soap.
