How Do You Make Glycerin Soap Gifts?
Soap makes a very thoughtful and useful gift, and if you take the time to make it yourself, it’s even more special. Making your own glycerin soap is easy, and each batch can be colored, shaped and scented to celebrate a holiday, a special occasion like a baby shower or birthday party, or simply designed to please the particular taste of your gift recipient. The possibilities are virtually endless. Fill the bottom pot of your double boiler halfway with water and place it on the stove top. Set it on a low simmer. With a sharp knife, score your glycerin soap base to approximately match the number of soaps you intend to make. Chop the large scored piece into smaller pieces. Put the small soap pieces into the top pot of the double boiler and place the top pot on the bottom pot. Stirring only occasionally, allow the soap to melt slowly. When the soap is almost melted, remove the top pot from the heat. Stir gently and slowly until the soap is liquefied. Add the color of your choice. In choosi
