I'd like to learn how to make my own soap. Do you have any tips?

Sure, I’d be happy to help! Here are a few tips for making your own soap:
1. Start by gathering the ingredients you need – lye, water, and oils. You can find these at most craft stores or online.
2. Prepare your workspace by setting up a double boiler or heating pad to keep your soap mixture warm.
3. Measure out all of your ingredients into separate containers. Be sure to include the amount of oil that you will use in your recipe.
4. Heat the lye solution until it is clear and then pour it into the container with the oil. Stir continuously until the lye is completely dissolved.
5. Add the remaining oils and mix well.
6. Pour the soap batter into molds and let cool before removing from the mold.
7. Once cooled, cut your bars and package them as desired.
