DIY candles or soap?
I'd like to start a new hobby and candle making seemed interesting, or possibly soap. I'm not sure where to begin though.
Ideas? Is it hard to do?

Re: DIY candles or soap?
Soap making isn't hard.. books make it sound like it is. Honestly it really isn't.. you just need to have some time/space, as well as be willing to have lye in your house. It is a chemical process so you do need to be careful.
Good books about soap making that I fully recommend are:
http://www.amazon.com/Soapmakers-Companion-Comprehensive-Techniques-Know-How/dp/0882669656/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327470765&sr=8-1
or

Also a few websites:
Cranberry Lane has a lot of info that is helpful:

and another one I found:

Feel free to ask me more questions as I've done the soap making thing for many years.
