Handmade Oatmeal Soap
by thecraftaholic
Recently, at home, I got really bored. I cleaned up a bit, worked on a few projects and such…still there was sheer and utter boredom. So, I decided to make some handmade soap. We had been running low, and being bored, what else was there to do, right?
So, I got out my essential oils, and made some Lavender Oatmeal Soap.
Nice, right? I gave it a light scent of Lavender, because I love lavender. Making soap reminded me that I LOVE making soap. I do. It’s so much fun. I want to continue making soap, but realistically, there is only so much soap my family can use, right?
So since I’ll be updating my website in the next week or so, I’ll be adding a page for my “Limited Edition” handmade soaps by the Craftaholic. Small batches, of course and only a few of each. I’m not trying to end up in walmart, I just really enjoy making soap.
I’ll probably be making an Sweet Orange/Green Tea Soap next. That is, soap made with Green Tea and Sweet Orange oil. Then after that I really want to make some activated charcoal/tea tree soap for my skin.
So, maybe in a few weeks, if you are nice, and leave me comments, I shall leave a tutorial.
Oh, and I make VEGAN soap. I always have, I always will. Animal products do not belong in soap. That’s just gross. Anyway, vegan soap is cheaper to make, really.
Meh, today is a sort of tiring day, since we went the beach yesterday, and I am really tired. So perhaps I’ll make some earrings, before I go visit my friend. I was going to make cards, but I think I’ll put it off until tomorrow.

I’m superexcited for the charcoal soap, but I’ve never made any kind of soap at all (though Mr Misc is always interested in doing so). How hard is it to do? /me nudges gently for a tutorial :)
they look beautiful.
we are looking into making goats milk soap. i know you are vegan and the thought makes you ill, but my question is what do you use? what is your base? they dont look like glycerine. and where do you buy your lye? i heard you can get it at lowe’s . also, what do you use as your mold?
Hi Vanessa, I don’t use a base, I make all my soap from scratch! That means, I use vegetable oil or vegetable based oils in making soap. I purchase my lye at http://www.essentialdepot.com
I’m not vegan though I am a vegetarian. I love pizza! And Ice Cream! LOL!
