The last few days have been filled with lots of activity around my home. Lots of cooking, sewing of new fall pillows and my first time ever experience at making soap. Sweet smelling aromatic pumpkin soaps in fact. Having never attempted such an undertaking I headed to Amazon to find some products to make my experience successful.
We bought the goats milk melt and pour that already has the lye in it. We cut the pieces as closely the same size as the others so when we did the microwave melting they would all melt down pretty much even.
You can see here it is melting very nicely and being a first time soap maker our excitement was at high pitch.
Now this is one of those silicone loaf bread pans and this is what we used as our soap mold. I think the ridges on the bottom of this pan made the soap turn out nicely. Anyway after it was all melted we put in a Pumpkin Essential oil that was also purchased from Amazon.
This is the pumpkin oil we used along with vanilla and tumerick for coloring and we were very happy with our soap.
Don’t you think it’s pretty? Well it cut up nicely and naturally we were thrilled. It smells lovely and lathers so nicely and we got all of this at Amazon.
