Scents (optional)

Glycerin soap chunks or loaf, found at your local hobby store (In our area, a two pound brick runs $8.99 at higher priced stores)

A glass measuring cup (a pint is fine, a quart for larger amounts)

Plastic soap molds (they are very inexpensive from the hobby store)

Goodies to place in your soap, if desired. I prefer to use luffa slices.

A microwave (if you don't have one, you can melt the soap on low on the stove)
