Have you ever made your own soap? A few years ago I tried out soap making for the first time and had some very interesting experiences.
 
I did a lot of experimenting using bars of soap and made some really great things. I also blew up the microwave and had a bowl which stunk of soap forever more.

My skills are now refined and today we are sharing a fun DIY Mermaid soap tutorial.
 
Enjoy.

    Aww! These are so cute! What a fab idea.
    I have made soap in the past & it worked out well….I didn’t think of putting anything like mermaids into it though. I think we might have to give this a try x

    I had no idea that soap making was so easy! And I love that you can follow these steps but use any type of figure in the soap!
