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.

🖌️ How To Make Mermaid Soap
- Step 1: Cut the glycerin into small chunks using a sharp knife and place in a 2 cup microwave safe glass measuring cup. Microwave the glycerin in 1-minute increments, stirring until completely melted.
- Step 2: If using essential oil, add 4-5 drops and stir. Fill each square soap mold ½ way with melted glycerin. Let sit for 20 minutes.

- Step 4: Fill with remaining glycerin. (You may need to re-melt in the microwave) Let the soap set for at least 1 hour.
- Step 5: Gently pop out of the molds. Your soap is now ready to use!
