On a lazy summer day, have some fun making your own soap. All the complicated advice online can be intimidating and make us think it's really hard to make soap.
It is easy! As this recipe shows, we can make our own soap very easily using lye, which has been used for thousands of years in soaps. All you have to do is make sure you are cautious with it. Use eye protection and gloves.
You can add any scent you want to your home made soaps, give them as gifts, or even sell them at a farmer's market.
