Soaping! Hot Process

The art of soap making has taken over my life! Every bit of time off I get, I've been putting towards soap making. It's so much fun!


Recently, I've starting making soap from scratch using the Hot Process method.  I got the inspiration (and tutorial) from Suzanne at her blog, Chickens in the Road. I like the idea of a less curing time that goes with this process compared to the 4-6 week wait for the cold process soap! I also love the "homemade" and "rustic" look that the hot process gives the soap. However, you can definitely do more with cold process soap when it comes to decorating and designing the soaps.


I make my hot process soap with a crock pot. You can also use a double boiler, or even the oven. I just boogied on down to our town's thrift store and bought a large, heavy duty crock pot for CHEAP!

Enjoy!
