Learn to Make Soap
I keep noticing that lots of people are interested in old-time crafts such as soapmaking and candlemaking. I suppose it is a sign of prosperity when what were formerly chores are now called crafts! Or maybe this subject is on my mind because I heard about a new name for someone singing in the shower: a “soap-rano.”
Soap making is fun, but it be a complicated process. What better way to learn than to have visual lessons! Here is a short YouTube video about how to make soap. Find soap making supplies here. You can learn to make all kinds of pretty soaps and spa quality soaps for fun or for gifts. Some people even start their own businesses selling home made soap.
