Make Luffa Soap on a Rope (Beginner Melt & Pour Soap Tutorial)

Learn how to make an easy luffa soap on a rope using melt and pour soap. This simple soap making project combines natural exfoliation from the luffa sponge with a handmade soap bar that’s perfect for the shower. The rope allows the soap to hang and dry between uses, which can help it last longer. This is a great beginner melt and pour soap project and only requires a few ingredients. In this tutorial I show step-by-step how to melt the soap, add fragrance and color, embed the luffa sponge, and pour the soap into the mold. This is a great project for: • beginner soap makers • handmade gifts • craft fairs • exfoliating shower soap Recipe (grams) Melt and Pour Soap Base – 100 g https://amzn.to/4decyzY Fragrance Oil – 6 g https://nurturehandmade.com/ePUAus Mica Powder – small amount https://nurturehandmade.com/dRj64m Luffa Sponge – 1 slice https://amzn.to/4sI6555 Twine – 1 piece https://amzn.to/4rYE74W Silicone Mold https://amzn.to/4s6ViS1 Tip: I used white melt and pour soap which makes an opaque bar.
