    How do you store your lard?

    Where did you get your 50lb lard box from. I'm thinking about getting one from soaper's Choice.

    My confetti sample line

    I was voted most likely to convince the grim reaper that it had the wrong person. Lol

    My confetti sample line

    I have my limits and when it comes to setting up at craft fairs or farmers markets, I will make the decision of when and what size sample that I will give them based on each customer that I interact with. Right now I am approaching the people and asking them if they would like a sample and for...

    My confetti sample line

    I really like making confetti soap. It is an easy way to create an interesting bar. However I have never made a test batch before and I probably should. I like your testing method. You have something usable if your test is a positive. If I have a customer who says that they want to try another...

    My confetti sample line

    I also give away a free soap bag with every sample. I have 2 different ones. One that I sell and a cheap one that is free. I want them to realize that bar soap is just as convenient as liquid soap.

    My confetti sample line

    I put them in a candy bag and seal it with a large lable with my logo, ingredients etc.

    My confetti sample line

    I took a very different approach for my samples. They are on average 3ozs and I am having great success. Most of the people who got a sample have cut them in half and shared them with other people and that's what I wanted. It is one thing for a customer to try your soap and like it enough to...

    My confetti sample line

    I am selling now. Mostly just word of mouth sales but I am selling 15 - 20 bars a week. I have my lip balm and lotion bars in a few stores. Most of my soap sells are from people who got samples and then they shared them with other people and they are coming back with their friends and buying...

    My confetti sample line

    I made these for giving away samples of my soap. They are just under 3/4" in size and they are all the same recipe.

    Pine rosin in lye water?

    If you want to use the resin in CP soap making, you need to do an oil infusion with the sap. Dissolving it in water, IMO, would not be the best way to go. Also keep in mind that the resin infused oil will speed up the trace. I recommend doing a google search for more information because there...

    That was after just a few days but the soap still hasn't discolored after a few months.

    Homemade Vanilla color stabilizer (VCS) summary

    I add my FO and ZCS or VCS to my oils and then SB before I add the lye/water.

    Louisiana Soap Suppliers?

    I have never heard of any Louisiana soap suppliers. There is one in Arkansas called "make your own" and some in Florida. "Ponte Verde" and "mad mica" are both in Florida, I think. The quickest supplier that I use right now is "soaper's Choice" in Chicago. If you place an order with soaper's...

    "Shot glass" molds are in the mail...

    When you use clear MP soap they look a lot cooler. I also made some jello shooters with the molds and I used a margarita lime FO.

    "Shot glass" molds are in the mail...

    These are ones that I made with leftover batter. I had some MP ones that looked like a shot of whiskey made with clear MP but I gave them all away and don't have a picture of them.

    "Shot glass" molds are in the mail...

    When I get home I will take a picture. I don't have one on my phone. Do you want a picture of the mold or the soap?

    "Shot glass" molds are in the mail...

    I have made several shot glass soaps. I have 3 of the molds that I found in the clearance aisle at Walmart. I also cut the shot glasses into individual rings.
