So usually for the "COTW" I go on my favorite websites and see which ones are do-able and share them with you. This week I let my 6 year old Emma pick and this is the one she chose!
DIY Orange Soap
DIY Orange Soap
you will need:
- assorted citrus, berries, or herbs
- paper coffee filters, if using herbs
- clean, dry containers like juice boxes or yogurt cups
- heat resistant glass measuring cup or bowl
- non-stick spray
- glycerin soap base (note:do NOT try to cross the boarder with that. They think its explosives. funny story)
The instructions shown are just for the citrus soap. Feel free to go to marthastewart.com for the other instructions.
1. Puree oranges(i used 4 christmas oranges and my food processor)
2. To determine how much glycerine soap base you need, fill mold(I used an empty juice box) with water, then pour it into your measuring cup. Dump the water and dry out your measuring cup.
3. Cut up your clear glycerin into cubes and melt it 30 seconds at a time in the microwave. Make sure it does not boil, or it will turn to dough...and smell bad....
4. Once its all melted, add your orange puree(I did 2 tbsp) and stir. Then pour your soap into your mold and let it sit at room temp for about 3 hours.
