Crafty Gemini – Updates – You Tube Video

Soap!!!! I have not really posted about soap of late, so today I am sharing with you a link to Crafty Gemini’s YOUTUBE video tutorial on how to make soap from scratch using the cold process method. This video is perfect for beginners. Click here to see it for yourself. Upon closer inspection of Crafty Gemini’s blog I see she now has her very own Crafty Gemini Mobile App for Android & Iphones congratulations Crafty Gemini 🙂 I also saw on Crafty’s comment box a few tips to bear in mind for when you attempt to make your own soap. I love learning new things I have yet to make my own soap. I am however getting together with my girlfriends very soon to attempt to make some of my own. Wish me luck 🙂

It is a good idea to keep some vinegar on hand when you make soap, so that if the lye splatters or gets on you, the acid can counteract they lye. Of course, flush with water afterwards. It is also good to use glass bowls so plastic won’t interact with the lye or soap. I like the crinkle cutters. Would be handy to have.

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
