Can you give me some tips on how to make my own soap?

1. Start by gathering the supplies you need for your homemade soap, such as oils, lye, and water.
2. Measure out the lye according to the instructions on the packaging and mix it with a small amount of water in a bowl until it becomes a thick paste.
3. In a separate bowl, measure out the oils and heat them over medium-low heat until they are liquid.
4. Slowly add the lye paste to the oil mixture while stirring continuously.
5. Once all the lye is added, stir the mixture constantly for 5 minutes.
6. Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool down completely before transferring it into molds or containers.
