today, i am making shower gel from bars of soap. i love shower gel but hate spending $5+ for a bottle. you will need: bar soap, water, a glass bowl or cup, containers for your gel.
first, grate your soap. any bar will do. or use several if you like to make in bulk. this process does not have to be as messy as the picture looks. my 5 year old has been helping me grate all morning.
next, add about 2 - 2 1/2 cups water per bar of soap. melt in a pot over medium heat. make sure all of the soap is melted.
once melted, pour into glass containers or bowls to cool. i usually let the kids add a few drops of natural food coloring or essential oils. let these jars cool/firm overnight and then pour into whatever containers you would like to use in the shower. if the consistency is too thick, add a little water and shake.
