- Take the recipe for basic soap above, divide the proportions by eight, and make a simple bar of soap to start. You should end up with eight bars. If at first your results are not perfect, repeat until you get it right.
- Once you’re more proficient, make a half-batch of scented or exfoliating soap, and give some to your friends.
- Experiment with ingredients and creative molds for your new signature pieces.
- Consider if this would be a cottage industry or hobby that might interest you.
Happy homesteading,
