Is Soap making an easy thing to do? only if you know what you're doing

One of the easiest ways to make your homemade soap is to use what is called the "Melt and pour" method. What you basically do is:

• Add fragrance and color
• Pour into molds
• Wait till it cools down
• Done!

This wont give you the world's perfect soap, and you have a limited control over the final outcome. But it's a start. You can move to bigger and better later on.
