This is great project even for someone who doesn’t want to take on learning to make soap. Using store bought soap as a base and a microwave; I simply added crushed candy-cane and a bit of red food coloring to it. In a few simple steps you have a festive Christmas gift sure to please! Place your fresh smelling peppermint soap into an equally easy to make candy-can tripod holder. Wrap and decorate your bars of soap for stocking stuffers, gifts or a decorative element at your sink side. The crushed candy-cane makes a fabulous exfoliate and you will be amazed how great your skin will feel after using it!
