How To Make Homemade Soap – BEGINNERS Guide To Soap Making🛀

#OurWeekendHomestead #HomemadeSoap #SoapMaking
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make homemade soap? This is a beginners guide to soap making. We will go step by step and show you our favorite recipe (see below), the tools that you will need, and how to make your first batch of homemade soap. We were always nervous to try it because we were intimidated by working with the lye. A few years ago we bought a book on soap making and as long as you are careful, it’s not that scary. In a future video, we will show you how to make your own soap mold. I will also go through how to use the free online soap calculators and create your own recipe.
