You were sent from heaven. You didn’t have to do this. ❤

[@KathleenEdge]

Thank you for doing a video like this. You've just proven that you dont need to spend a million dollars to make your own soaps. ❤

[@Skylightatdusk]

Addicted to looking at soap making videos.

[@Soul.7]

Watched this about FIVE times. Gratitude. 👍🏾✨

[@artfulflower]

I know this video is super old, but I wish I had learned about this when I was a teenager and was making my own deodorant, perfume oil and hair oil. I would have chosen to open a small online shop and sell handmade soap bars instead of college. I'm drawing, painting, writing and photographing now, so the artist and handmaker in me hasn't left, LOL! Thanks for sharing this! You're making me want to make my own soap and indulge in my love of soap bars, especially handmade soap bars!

[@Jaykay4pay]

This is so great for anyone who thinks they can’t soap because they don’t have the tools.

[@cherylutts9561]

Thank you for all the great information I have spent hours watching you and have learned so much. You’re efforts are appreciated 😊

[@cassietheconqueror]

Hi Ellen! This video got me to make my first bar of soap yesterday! I was stuck because I couldn’t find the lye locally. Turns out, I was looking in the wrong aisles! I also picked up the glass measuring cup for my essential oils and the tea strainer. Great finds! I’d love to see more vids like this about budget equipment you’ve found. Thanks so much! I enjoy your vids!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💕 congratulations on your first soap 🎉

[@cassietheconqueror]

Thank you so much! It came together so quickly and easily. Now, I’m itching to cut it...only 7 more hours to go. 🧼

[@para-diceranch5648]

This is the most fun I've had shopping since last Christmas! 😄 So generous of you to take time out of your day to share some great tips for everyone. Great job!!! 💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 💕🥰

Uuuu

[@Septemberwitch24]

@@EllenRuthSoap The essential oils are on the candle aisle and what you're referring to, not to use, is the candle or fragrance oils. But I buy ALL of my essential oils from the candle aisle! Wisk does not have an H! Soap has to cure for at least 4 weeks before using. It's still hot after 24 hours!

[@rosablancas9349]

Thank you so much Ellen Ruth. This is going to be my "Return to Soap Making", after 14 years. I used soap making as a way to help me after losing my mom. I made tons of different cp soap, gave it all away then one day I stopped. But I'm back!!! I found you, with your lovely and generous energy. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, taking us shopping and for the tips and tricks. See ya soon 💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! Welcome back to the world of soaping❣️

🥰 thank you 💕

[@Speckled_Butterfly7206]

Thank you so much. I tend to shop primarily at the walmart by my house due to distance from other shops, and this is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for. Realistic ingredients that I can immediately see. I so want to try this. My fun thing will be keeping my 3yr old from messing with it. A friend gave me a tip of trying with a small cooler on top of the fridge since he can't reach that yet.😅 Currently, I am stocking up on supplies, and just trying to make a small curing rack.

[@mickipattoncannon9183]

Thank you so much for showing us how to make soap from shopping to the recipes. The shopping trip was most thoughtful!

[@havendallaire5988]

I just make this and I'm so happy the way it turned out so far. Can't wait to cut into it! Wish I could send you a picture. Thank you for being so generous with your recipes ❤

[@michael7324]

My Walmart uses Lard. That also makes a great soap.

[@Janabstra]

Thank you for making something that seems so exclusive so accessible! I just purchased everything from a soap supplier. I wished I watched your video first lol it was a lot of fun going through Walmart aisles and seeing everyday things turn into something so useful for soap making. New sub here!

[@happy.homestead]

You just blew my mind! I have been watching soap people for a couple of months on here and you're my favorite. This one came up as a recommendation tonight and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. haha I am SO excited to go buy these common items from Walmart and make my first batches of soap. I've been looking at my cream and half and half containers for months and thinking, I bet I could use these for soaps or candles... and BAM!, you show me how!!! I am over the moon with excitement. But shortening, olive oil, lard, turmeric, paprika, etc., etc., etc., etc.,.... WOWWWWWWWW!!!! My eyes were popping!!! You are an amazing, kind, funny, thorough, and knowledgeable soaper. Thank-you SO much for all you share. You truly simplified everything in this video. I live in mid-Missouri... the sticks.. haha (from Cape Cod to here!) and THIS is the type of soap my friends will truly enjoy trying. Thank-you again!! You are AMAZING!!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh, thank you so much💕 I'm glad you found me, and I hope you give it a try❣️

[@happy.homestead]

@@EllenRuthSoap As soon as I can get out from under all the snow we got in the last two days, I'm going to Walmart!! Thanks again. I'm quite sure you've created a soap monster in me. hahahaha :-)

[@LaurelsCurls]

This is amazing!!!! Thank you so very much for showing us how to get started with soap making in an economical way. I'm just getting started making some bath soaps for myself (just for fun) so this is fantastic to help me get my feet wet! I will be checking out your channel to see what recipes you have. Hopefully you have a demonstration of how to make soap with the Aloe Vera juice that you showed us from Walmart!!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you 🥰 soap making is so fun 💕

[@debbyfowler8349]

Thank you for this video. It was very informative and helpful. You are so talented...even with milk cartons as molds you make beautiful soaps.

I really enjoyed this video, i have made some soap and waiting on my soap stamo from the digital2cre8 guy, thank you for sharing that resource as well. I get so nervous aboit making soap 🧼 because of the lye although i have plenty supplies to start. I would like for you to do a lye solution video with the amount of crystals and distilled water for a 2 lb loaf. Also yoi were able to do a lather test before 4 weeks. Can i calculate how long i need to wait for my soaps to cure?

[@tloverde1166]

Went to my Wal-Mart the other day and was pleasantly surprised that they actually carried High-Quality Lard and Grass-fed Beef Tallow!!! A bit pricey but great to know if you're in a pinch and needed some!!! Love your channel!!! Thanks!

[@cherylnorise57]

Hello, I really like the shopping at Walmart tour. I sometimes have to get items for my soap at Walmart. I just bought turmeric from there. I also like the soap you created. Milk carton molds I’ve never seen that before. Interesting. Fun little project to do. Be safe and have an awesome day

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching!

[@cheryl739]

I started out that way, also. I would spray rubbing alcohol on my knife to help me cut bars and remove easier. But I only started out small, back then, so it worked great till I was able to get a block cutter. Boy was I happy when I got my first wire cutter. 😃. Very nice tutorial for beginners. Thumbs up 👍 and Blessings. 💕💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Spraying the knife is a great idea 👍. 🥰💕

This is fantastic. We are in lockdown and I wanted to make soap but not spending money on expensive equipment and ingredients as it is only a once off. I used a food processor to get the batter to trace using the whisk attachment! I'm making a herbal tea soap next. I'm going to use the containers on their sides.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Fantastic 💕👍

[@galejohnson8086]

Yep, as a kid it was my job to stir the soap with a wooden spoon on the stove. It was poured into a big wooden box, put in the garage with a wool blanket over it. No such thing as a stick blender then. No fragrance, st it kinda smelled bad on the stove (animal lard) but smelled neutral when dried. We used to grate it for doing my dad’s filthy work clothes in the wringer washer.

Thank you for this!! I am just beginning with cold process soap making.

I only have EVOO, so I'm waiting to see how it affects the color (I have both purple clay and paprika in mind, but plain is fine just to get it done). I have peppermint and a citrus blend essential oils for options. A little nervous, but excited 😊 PS: I found the same lye in Fred Meyer back with the plumbing stuff like plungers and shower supplies.
