GARDENER'S SOAP
MATERIALS NEEDED:
clay flower pot (2 or 3 inch diameter)
4 oz. glycerin soap
("melt and pour" glycerin soap can be found at many craft
stores -but you can use a bar of glycerin soap grated up)
1 TBSP corn meal
1 TBSP dried calendula petals
a few drops of essential oil
DIRECTIONS: Cut an eight-inch square of plastic wrap and
line the flower pot by pushing the center down into pot.
Make sure the plastic wrap comes up over the edges of
the pot.
Grate the glycerin soap and melt in the top pan of a
double boiler (or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water)
Don't stir too vigorously or it will get air bubbles.
When the soap has melted remove it from the heat and
stir in the corn meal and calendula petals.
Add the essential oils by the drop.
Pour the soap into the plastic-lined flower pot and set it
aside to harden.
Once the soap has hardened remove the plastic wrap and
put the soap in the flower pot. Wrap in plastic and tie with
a ribbon.
