15. Homemade Soap

Homemade soap is easier than it looks! You can actually just buy soap base that melts in the microwave, then you can add a few other ingredients to your liking (fragrance oil, coffee beans, etc.) and then pour the melted mixture into soap molds. How fun! Get the full tutorial here.

17. DIY Mason Jar Candles

If you like melting stuff, this project is for you! I pretty much dig anything that has to do with mason jars, and I’ve always got a candle burning (I think I might keep Bath & Body Works in business these days). I would love to start making candles, and these wax chips make it an easy, do-able project. What a fabulous gift idea, too! I love the burlap top and cute gift tag.
