#v16098
Make your own homemade bars of soap in beautiful colours with relief designs or text prints. Melt the soap base either in a water bath or in the microwave. You will need 100 g soap base, 1 cm soap dye paste and 2-3 drops of essential oil per finished bar of soap. Place your bar of soap in a soap dish, allowing it to dry out between each use.

Carefully make a hole in the middle of the bar of soap approx. 1 cm from the top edge as shown in the photo. Support the bar of soap on the back to prevent it from breaking. Cut a 50 cm piece of natural hemp, feed it through the hole and tie a knot; one by the soap and one a bit higher up, forming a loop for hanging.
