    I make melt n pour goat milk soap. Hobby Lobby has goat milk soap base, essential oils, molds ect.
    Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check hobby lobby out. Melt and pour soaps, do they use lye?

    No lye, just melt the soap base and what ever scent you want and if you want to add dry herbs or flowers or what ever you can and if you want to add color use soap dye cheap and easy. I hate using lye it is dangerous. put it all together and just pour it in the mold. I don't buy soap molds. I use cute shaped ice trays spray cooking oil in them so the soap will come out easy. Or I use and plastic container. If you have kids and buy them toys, use the plastic that it came in. Like a toy gun will make a gun soap.

    Because I am me.

    just look around your kitchen you will find things that have a nice shape to it and use it. Let your imagination go wild

    Never thought to use muffin pans. That would save lots of money compared to buying actual soap molds.

    I am actually looking into creating a mold right now. Just need to find the right tools for it. Once I get it fabricated I will debut it. here.

    Glad you found us from Instagram! Be sure to introduce yourself in the intro thread if you haven't already.

    2014 is my goal to put all the Prepper skill I've read up on and start practicing each one. Just got to get out and do it.

    Don't forget to pm me your address my man.

    They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
    I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.

    This is as good as place as any to post this, no intended thread jack. Made my first batch of body wash two days ago. Sme trial and error with the right amount of heat and it resembles body wash. This is essentially, Irish Spring body wash

    I estimate this gallon-ish to cost about $1.60 to make

    Sorry it took so long to respond. Work has me busy. I bought all my soap making goods off a lady from craigslist but the sticker on the lye bucket says www.soapgoods.com. Just went to the site and it's an impressive one stop shop for soap makers.
