I have always wanted to try my hand at making soap... this past year I finally gathered what I needed and set my goals to make some scented bars for gifts.. I used essential oils like jasmine & pine, color dyes, dried jasmine buds & pine needles, used Shea Butter and glycerin soap bases, and got it under way. Using silicon molds I made about 30 different scented bars with different dried flowers and herbs, it was such fun!
