Easy Christmas - Mulled wine soap!

This year I decided I wanted to have a really ethical Christmas (AKA I'm too skint to buy ANYTHING). I've always fancied making soap, but because I hate measuring things I was scared to make the proper stuff. This soap was the easiest thing in the world to make, all you need is clear glycerine soap, a saucepan, silicone mould (pound land), a plastic jug or bowl, soap colorant and any soap smell! I got all of these things off e-bay really cheap. All I did was cut the glycerine in to chunks, and melt it on a very low heat in a plastic jug in a saucepan with boiling water. When the glycerine is all liquid (It takes around half a hour), add the colour and smell, then pour it in to the mould. It doesn't take long to set.
When making this 'mulled wine' one, I used orange and cinnamon smell, and added cloves. I got the cloves out with a sieve because I didn't want any big lumps, the little black specks you see in the soap are little bits of clove. I think it looks really cool. I used cranberry red colour.
This is my second attempt at the soap, I wasn't happy with the colour of the first one, so I just chopped it up and melted it down again.
You really can't go wrong!
I may try to make my own real soap at some point, but this is so easy and a lovely little Christmas present.
