Are you a lover of handmade soap? Do you hate throwing away soap scraps? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then this blog post is for you! In this post, we'll teach you how to use soap scraps to make new soap bars.

First, let's talk about why handmade soap is so great. Handmade soap is typically made with natural ingredients and contains no harsh chemicals or preservatives. Plus, it often comes in fun shapes and scents that can make your daily shower routine more enjoyable.

Now, onto the fun part - using soap scraps to make new soap bars! Here's what you'll need:

  • Soap scraps (duh!)
  • A cheese grater or food processor
  • A double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Soap molds (you can buy these online or use silicone muffin cups)
  • Essential or fragrance oils (optional)

Step 1: Grate or shred your soap scraps into small pieces. If you have a food processor, you can pulse the scraps until they are finely ground.

Step 2: Melt your soap scraps in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. If you're using a double boiler, heat the soap scraps over low heat until they are melted. If you're using a microwave, heat the soap scraps in 30-second intervals until they are melted.

Step 3: Once your soap is melted, you can add a few drops of essential oils or fragrance (if you'd like). Some popular essential oils for soap making include lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus.

Step 4: Pour the melted soap into your soap molds or silicone muffin cups. You can also add herbs or dried flowers to the molds for added texture.

Step 5: Let the soap cool and harden for a few hours. Once the soap has hardened, you can pop it out of the molds and use it in your daily shower routine.

See, it's that easy! Using soap scraps to make new soap bars is a fun and eco-friendly way to get the most out of your handmade soap. Plus, you can experiment with different scents and ingredients to create unique soap bars that you'll love using.

So, the next time you have a bunch of soap scraps lying around, don't throw them away - make new soap bars instead! Your skin (and the planet) will thank you. And when you need more soaps, try these - you will not want to use anything else again! www.littlebullfallssoapworks.com
