I’m a long-time CP soaper but I’ve never tried the opposite way (hot process) using a crockpot before…hmmm…what a clever idea. Using leftover coffee and coffee grounds this tutorial shows you how to make a good looking and hard working soap for your kitchen that will help get rid of strong smells and be a bit scrubby too — perfect for all those messy spring jobs. I think the soap came out looking wonderful and I love that she recycled a Pringle’s container as the mold! Find all the how-tos from Heart ~ Hands ~ Home here. One caveat: in the Northeastern US I can’t find 100% lye in any kind of store, I have to buy it online…but your mileage may vary.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub
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.
