Answer 1

There are two common soap making processes cold process (uses lye) and melt and pour (has lye - soap that base - that you melt down and re cast so to speak)

No you can't make soap using fruits. I recommend you do some research on soap making on the Internet and at the library before making soap.

I would start by making melt and pour soap since its the easiest and you do not have to handle the lye. It also is ready for use once it hardens. You can purchase soap base, molds, scents and colorants at most craft stores.

a good place to start:  for Melt & Pour:

handmade cold process which is made from oils, lye and water plus scents and colorants:

I googled soap making procedure and came up with some good sites as well you could also could google soap making, soap making process ect. which would also yield lots of usefull information.
