Introduction: Christmas Soap!
I decided to try making soap, wish me luck!
Step 1: What I Used
I got all my stuff at my local craft store.
I used:
-opaque suspension formula soap.
-red, purple, and green coloring.
-fresh lavender, warm vanilla, cool citrus, and herbal perfume. (not all together)
-apricot seeds.
-soap molds, and cookie cutters. (you'll also need parchment paper for the cookie cutter)

Step 2: Melt
Start by melting the opaque soap in a glass bowl. Start with 20seconds stir then go to 10seconds until fully melted.
Step 3: Lavender Vanilla
-First I mixed in purple coloring to make a light purple.
-Then I added in 5 drops on fresh lavender and 2 drops of warm vanilla. (it all depends on how much soap you're making, keep in mind vanilla is a undertone fragrance do you don't need much)
-I then slowly added a little apricot seeds.
-then poured into the molds as well as the snowflake cookie cutter.
