To make your own soap, you will need the following materials:
Instructions:
1. Shred soap in a blender or food processor.
2. Boil a pot of water and put a glass bowl over the pot.
3. Put some almond oil into the bowl.
4. Place the soap into the bowl.
5. Take the water from the pot and pour it into the bowl until the soap changes into paste.
6. Add oils, color, and Vitamin E as you prefer.
7. Let your soap cool in the molds of your choice. (Your mold could be ice cube trays, cookie cutters, or anything else that you might come up with.)
8. Allow the soap to air out on wax paper for a day or two.
Best of luck and be sure to experiment with different colors and shapes for your soap.

I make soaps very similar to GranMamma, however I buy soap that is already coloured and scented. There is no need to add scent, colour, oils or anything else except water, unless you want to of course.
Here's what I do:
Grate your favourite bar of soap, then add 1/3 to 1/2 cup boiling water. The more water you add the longer they take to dry out, so only add enough to allow you to mould the soap once it has cooled a little.
Mould into golf ball sized balls and place on baking paper in an airy place to dry.
Soooo easy my 5 year old helped me with this!
Please note: let the mix cool before allowing children to handle it.

Is there an easier soap recipe that doesn't require oats and Almond oil?
