I teamed up with the one and only Kenneth Wingard today to make these fabulous DIY gifts! Lavender is one of my favorite scents, and I love how it pairs perfectly with the all natural goat milk soap! It could not be easier!
Materials for the Loofah:
- Hemp Cord
- Crochet Hook
Materials for the Soap:
- Goat’s milk melt & Pour soap base
- Soap mold
- Alcohol spritz
- Dried lavender flowers
- Lavender oil
Directions for the Soap:
- Cut up soap into smaller pieces and microwave for 2 minutes. Mix in your lavender flowers and about 20 drops of lavender oil.
- Pour the soap into the mold.
- You need to wait until the soap is set (overnight is best), then spritz with alcohol. Add a thin layer of melted soap and sprinkle on the dried lavender.
- Pull finished soap out of mold.
Directions for the Hemp Loofah:
- First, slip knot and then single crochet a chain 2” longer than your soap. Single crochet 3rd, reverse and double crochet in 4th stitch.
- Continue in every stitch until the end of the row. Repeat single crochet 3 until 2” wider than the soap.
- Pour the soap into the mold.
- You need to wait until the soap is set, then spritz with alcohol. Add a thin layer of melted soap and sprinkle on the dried lavender.
- You can also use dried lavender flowers, which you can also get from nature’s garden and pure lavender essential oil from mountainroseherbs.com. You need to make sure the lavender oil is the real thing for the scent and the therapeutic benefits.
- This is the only way you can get the herbs to set. Pull finished soap out of mold.
- Single crochet 10 to make the loop and attach end of loop to loofah with slip stitch.
