My Fall Soaps

[Jaaret]

I make soap as a hobby and don't sell other than to family and friends, but as people have tried my soaps they have started placing orders for soap to give as gifts. I made 18 pounds of soap in November and early December. Here they are:



I used clays in each of these batches. They are (left to right).
- Geranium & Tea Tree with French green clay and ground almonds
- Cedar & Lemongrass with dead sea clay and ground oatmeal
- Ginger & Cinnamon with red Morrocan clay
- Peppermint & Spearmint with white Kaolin clay

I wrap the soaps in tissue paper and add a round sticker that I print out on my color printer.

One of my soapmaking goals in 2009 is to branch out into different shapes: squares and hexagons. I'll post pictures when I do.

Hey Jaaret - nice soaps and wonderful wrapping.....

 

[mlj]

Soaps are lovely...what kind of tissue paper are you using? I would love to perfect that wrapping technique. Are you making M&P or CP soap?

Very nice!! I love the packaging!! Great idea!

Pringles can or PVC pipe?? MP or CP? I'm guessing CP. They look so natural and inviting......love the fragrance/additive combos....very creative!

...what kind of tissue paper are you using? I would love to perfect that wrapping technique. Are you making M&P or CP soap?

I use the CP method exclusively. I’ve been using regular tissue paper but am switching to florists tissue as it has a wax finish that will make it more durable and longer lastingr than regular tissue paper.

Ding-ding-ding! You are correct! CP! I use the cardboard tubes that Scotch bottles come in. The manager of the local liquor store saves them for me and I trade him soap for them. That’s good or else I’d be drinking a LOT of Scotch!

Jaaret, love your soaps & wrapping. How do you finish the bottom. Is there another sticky label as well.

[Jaaret]

Wrap

Yes, I use a second round sticker on the back that lists the ingredients.

 

[Lindy]

Jaaret - where do you get your round stickers? And what size is the "round"?

 

[misty]

thanks Jaaret, & I'm curious as well about the size of the label and where you purchase them (looks like you just peel them off) I love round soaps......
