Making my own soap

[Conspiracy.]

I'm so bored and need a hobby :') I bought handmade soap a few days ago and thought I would research it. I want to make my own D: It seems fun.

(there are also several youtube videos I have watched)

I've also bought a book off Amazon.

I'm a little bit scared of the whole sodium hydroxide/lye business though. I've googled it and it seems like it can be pretty dangerous if used incorrectly.

Has anyone else ever made their own soap?

haha sounds a little unusual for a hobby to me! Hope you enjoy it good luck :P

[karter]

seems fun although i am too lazy to try it

[Stephen]

Won't you need another hobby while you wait 6 weeks for the soap to be finished?

[orientalframe?]

why soap

it actually looks quite good but wtf soap??? can't get over it seems weird but yeah good luck if you do try it out

[Succubus]

Good luck with this but such a odd thing to make...

[Jurv]

aw that's actually a nice idea! i bet it would be nice to give someone as a gift, haha
make sure you let us know how you go on if you decide to go ahead with it :)

I've made soap before it turned out alright but when we made it the lid on the perfume was broken and a whole lot poured out. This kind of made it not stick together that well I think.

It's certainly different :P Good luck with making it :)
