Got my loofah seeds! Ordered on Amazon but then found a pack of them in the seed section of our home improvement store (Menards.) I'm excited to see how they grow and be able to soap with them this fall. I was looking for ways to incorporate my young boys in my soaping, without them being anywhere near lye, so that they can tell family and teachers they helped make the soapy gift they are giving. Helping grow, harvest and prepare the loofahs will be a great task for them. Thanks for all the inspiration!
That was so interesting! I did think loofah was from the sea, so I learned something new today. What a fun project and your finished soap is beautiful!
Thank you Cathy, I got these from Lori at our sale! They are so unique , I did not want to tear them apart.. I would get these from Lori. Mine had tons of seeds .
Boy the knife cut into the soap like butter. I really thought is might have some drag to it. But as usual and again another perfect class Teach!! Fun soap project. Thanks!! :)
That is so funny, I usually do it with M&P, and this weekend I was wondering if you could do it with CP. You are my angel, question answered. Thank you very much, will do it this weekend.
that's a nice shade of green. did you notice any air bubbles between the loofah & the soap towards the center, or with enough packing down it removes all the air well? thanks
Thank you for the video! ❤️ it You said to rinse the loofah with worm water. Is that all one need to do before using it? Does it have to be dry? Some people cut them before. Did you tried that method? Tks!! 😍
Would the process be about the same with HP? I'm sure the EO would have to be added at the end of the cook but wasn't sure if the results would be the same. Thank you.
My soap failed!! I had and extra 1/2 cup I poured in a mold and it is fine, but the loofah portion is soft and weeping oil and not firming up. Any ideas as to why?
Hi, did you let the loofah dry completely before adding the soap? I never did it, but as I'm researching, I would like to know some of what to do 😜 Hope next batch worked fine.
Those are so cool to use. I was gifted one for Christmas one year, by a local soap lady.
I loved it I bought more off her.

I'm loving the green and the lime EO in this, Catie. Will definitely put this on my growing "to do" list xx Linda

Aww, thank you so saying so!
Thank you for the video. It's the reminder I need to use the luffa I grew last year. I've made a few batched but this have about 10 luffa left.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για την ιδέα που μου δώσατε

I planned on trying using loofah. Even grew some large ones. But they molded before they dried out. Darn Florida humidity.
Oh I loved this Video! I hope to make some at some point in the future ❣️. Thank you for all your videos ❤️
this was soo cool. Cant wait for next week. :D Think i will get hubby to bring home a pringles can for me.
Makes me want to get some loofah! Looks fabulous :)
I had no idea! Thx for the lesson. Will this work with store bought loofah? Can u do a lesson on blending oils (fragrance) pleeease?
Wow this was amazing, I love your ideas excellent teacher love this class
Wow who knew! Brilliant.
can you please do a video on silicone mold care and staining and ash?
Love this idea .. i have tried it many many times but the loofah we have grown in our country is very rough .. any ideas on how to soften my loofah ?
I hope you will try it!
Wow.. making it in a pringles can genius...
I love the loofah and want to try then but how thick do you make the cuts? 1 inch?
Thanks!
now i need to find natural loofah with seeds so i can grow my own. :)
They actually sell loofah seeds where they sell most other vegetable seeds.
I love this project. Very Cool.
It compacted from the weight of the soap.
This is absolutely brilliant... :D I've got to try this!
Very nice video! ❤️
that's a nice shade of green. did you notice any air bubbles between the loofah & the soap towards the center, or with enough packing down it removes all the air well? thanks
Please let us know how yours comes out.
Cool! Thats pretty awesome!
Thank you for the video! ❤️ it
You said to rinse the loofah with worm water. Is that all one need to do before using it?
Does it have to be dry? Some people cut them before. Did you tried that method?
Tks!! 😍
I thought the thumbnail was an over-ripe banana and contraception.
I need to get more sleep ._.
WOW! Job well done.
Thanks for this one. Loofah = amazing! I didn't think it could be done with CP soap, but I will try it sometime. :D

Thanks :)
