The book also touches on the history of soap and the methods for making it. Author Suzanne McNeil is passionate about hands-on creativity and has published 230 craft and hobby books, making her the perfect guide for your journey into soap-making. Recipes in the manual include the supplies you will need, instructions and helpful tips, along with pictures illustrating the process. All of the supplies in the book should be easily obtained from your local craft, fabric or variety store but as an added courtesy the book includes suppliers your store can order the supplies from if necessary. These supplies include the essentials (soap, coloring, fragrances), plastic molds (muffin tins, Jell-o molds), additives (herbs, toys, vegetables, fruits, oils, honey, powdered milk, buttermilk), and tools (microwave safe cup, spoons, craft sticks, measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing bowl, wire whisk, drying rack, sharp knife, food processor, hand-grater.) The melt and pour soap crafts are a particular treat, instructing readers in the art of making marbled soaps, confetti soaps, layered soaps, embedded surprise soaps, cookie cutter soaps, molded soaps, loaf soaps, herbal soaps and soaps on a rope. There are also specialty soaps for special occasions called Holiday Loaves for holidays including Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day and The Fourth of July. The activities in Handmade Soaps 101 could be fun and instructional for children and adults alike. Even hard-to-please teenagers enjoy making the artsy soaps such as the Citrus Slices soap which look like actual slices of oranges, lemons and limes. Keep an eye out for the bonus sections on bath salts, oils and gift wrapping!
