Soapmaking is a great way to save money and create unique products that are all your own! It's easy to do, and there are lots of resources online to help you get started. Here are some basic steps for making homemade soap: 
1. Gather the ingredients - lye, water, oils, colorants, fragrance, essential oils, etc.
2. Melt the oils in a large pot or bowl over low heat.
3. Add the lye to the oil mixture and stir until it dissolves completely.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Add any desired additives such as coloring, fragrances, and essential oils.
6. Pour the cooled mixture into molds or containers.
7. Allow the soap to set for 24-48 hours before unmolding and cutting into bars.
8. Enjoy your homemade soap!
