I'm interested in making my own soap, but I don't know where to start.

Start by researching the basics of soap making. Look up tutorials online and read books about it. You can also find many helpful videos on YouTube that explain the process step-by-step. Make sure you have all the supplies you need before you begin, such as oils or lye, a pot, a heat source, and measuring cups. After gathering your materials, mix the lye with water until it becomes clear and liquid. Then add the oils slowly while stirring continuously. Once everything is combined, pour the mixture into your mold and allow it to sit for 24 hours. Finally, remove the soap from the mold and rinse it off.
