I was messing around with craft kits last weekend and totally botched a candle project because I grabbed soap dyes by accident. It got me thinking how cool soapmaking actually looks. Can you recommend a solid learnsoapmaking guide so I can try something real instead of ruining more candles?

Last weekend I thought I’d try a “fun” craft kit and ended up with a rainbow blob that was supposed to be a candle. It was a disaster, but it made me curious about soapmaking—it seems like something you can actually control and get creative with. I started following learnsoapmaking and it’s been super helpful for learning techniques without blowing up my kitchen.
