a cool craft-

buy a loofah (dollar store) and use a large piece of plastic wrap to cover bottom and sides, then wrap masking tape all around sides

buy meltable glycerin soap (craft store or drug store, make sure it doesn't contain tallow or it won't melt)

melt soap in microwave (about 2 or 3 bars per loofah, I think) and "fill" wrapped loofah with soap

refrigerate about 24 hours

unwrap and using a serrated knife, cut into 1/2" - 5/8" slices

wrap slices in plastic wrap

use a pink, yellow, orange, or green soap so that the slices look like slices of citrus fruit

They are great "body scrubbers" and people go "ga-ga" over them. A 6" loofah can yield about 10

OO OO EVen me, I who cannot do anything crafty can do this I am sure!!
I was just looking through catalogues about what I can have onhand for "get ___ free" with a GC.

Can you tell me more about this soap?
Yes, I need to be led by the hand on this one.
I have done small packets of scented salt scrubs but that's it.
Thanks.

Thanks Reikicare!

Hi, I'm new and love this forum. What great ideas! For holidays and birthdays I have been giving my clients a free half and hour. I just add it to my business card with a gift card for their next hourly session. On reg visits they get a Hersy kiss with their h20.

Hello! nybor- if you go to a store like the Body Shop, or to the health food store, ask for glycerin soap. Read the ingredients- if tallow is one of the ingredients, the soap won't melt. (tallow is animal fat) The proper soap will melt within about 15 to 30 seconds in the microware (use a microwave safe container, like a glass measuring cup so that you can then pour the soap into the loafa. If you need to use a bowl, then you could ladle the soap into the loafa. Clean up is easy since it's all soap to clean up!

Green apple soap makes nice loafas that look like giant lime slices. Just reply if you have more questions.

OK.........I'm a craft flunk out. When you wrap that plastic wrap and masking tape all over the loofa, do you remove it when your procedure is done? Why the masking tape on the loofa? Questions and more questions!
