The club members made melt and pour glycerin soap with essential oils useful in repelling insects such as gnats, flies, and mosquitoes. While the soap set, we made bug repellent spray by mixing the same essential oils in a base of witch hazel. After we enjoyed a wonderful snack, we turned out the soap from the molds and packaged it in shrink wrap bags. To finish off, we placed the soaps and spray in a small basket covered in cello wrap and embellished with colorful ribbons. It is a great gift idea or a useful product at home. It sure beats the chemical alternatives.
