Fisherman And Hunter Anise Soap - A Homemade Soap Recipe.
The anise essential oil used in this homemade soap recipe has a very strong smelling licorice
scent. It is said that it hides the human scent, which is ideal for hunters, and fish are
very attracted to the smell. Fisherman can even rub the anise soap on the lures to
attract fish! It's also a good homemade soap recipe for getting rid of odors from your hands in
the kitchen such as garlic or onions.
2 lb. Clear melt & pour soap base, melted
1 tsp. Anise essential oil
Food color
Mica
1 tsp. beeswax pellets
1 Tbsp. jojoba or almond oil
To Make This Homemade Soap Recipe:
To the melted soap base, add some teal/blue coloring with some mica thrown in
it. It makes this homemade soap recipe look like the sea. Add 1 tsp. of Anise essential oil to
make the bar harder so hopefully it won't melt to bits if carried in a tackle
box, add 1 tsp. beeswax pellets melted in 1 Tbsp. jojoba oil or almond oil to
the melted base. Pour into molds.
This homemade soap recipe also makes a perfect gift for outdoors men and cooks who love to
use garlic or onions. Your friends and family will
appreciate this homemade soap recipe that is a unique bath and body product. That
this anise soap gift came from the heart and your hands makes it even more special.
Packaging and presentation play a predominant role in the gift-giving of
your handmade soaps, salts and lotions. Below are several packaging ideas,
but don’t let this brief list limit your creativity!
Paper is a popular packaging medium for this
homemade soap recipe because of the variety of papers available. You can use
brown Kraft paper, marbled paper, gift wrap, wallpaper, any kind of paper you
want. Your creativity is the limit! You can use your computer to add designs and
logos to plain paper or you can paint or draw on the paper for an added personal
touch. You can wrap individual bars like a gift and either leave plain or add
extra embellishment by tie with ribbons, cording, raffia or lace.
Boxes and baskets are nice containers
for soap, especially when you fill the boxes with other materials. You can
fill the box or basket halfway with herbs, dried flowers or potpourri that
matches the scent of your soap. Gift basket fillings, other toiletries,
washcloths or sponges also make great fillers in the basket with your anise soap.
Once you have added the filler and soap, wrap the box or basket in
cellophane.
Coffee mugs also great "baskets." Add a
filler to the cup and place a bar of soap in the center and wrap with
cellophane or tulle. Small brown paper bags, cello type bags, wood crates
and soap dishes are other containers you can use to package your soaps and
salts.
