How Do You Make Lavender & Honey Soap At Home?
Homemade soaps are great to use for your hands or for hand-washing delicate laundry fabrics. Here are instructions to make your own lavender honey soap at home for your household needs or to give away as a gift to someone special. It lathers well and is very soothing to your skin. Lavender even has antiseptic properties and is very pungent. You can put the pliable warm soap inside tartlet pans that have a special shape. Then, you can mark your soap by simply pressing a wooden stamp in the soap to identify its scent or to tell the receiver who gave it to them. Wrap it in pretty cellophane or tie with raffia and let someone know how much they mean to you with this homemade household gift. Buy ONLY soapflakes that are intended for hand-washing clothes. Do not use/buy any other kind. A blended variety of honey is fine. Pour 8 ounces of the Soap flakes into a heavy glass bowl over some simmering water in a saucepan. Set to a gentle heat. Do NOT let the water touch the bottom of the bowl! Th
