Welcome

Soap making is a fun and exciting hobby, full of trial and tribulations! When you create soap you are creating art, each one is different, never the same. An addicting hobby.... once you get started all you think about is what kind of soap to make next. This blog is about my soaping experience please enjoy!

Birthday Soap Sampler

I received a request to make a birthday gift basket of a variety of soap samples.  My customer had just received some  samples from me to try as she is sensitive to scents and certain oils.  She called me and asked me if I could put something together for her mothers birthday in a gift basket and to keep budget low to 25$.   Putting my creative hat on, I made a basket instead of buying one.  Cost 2$ and time.  I picked out 8 if my favourite soaps.  And as soapers we always have end pieces so I cleaned them up and wrapped them in cellophane.   Making the basket (which by the way is a green hanging folder)  I made it grassy with ribbon around it so it looks summery.  The ribbon, Dollorama! Folders, free!  Full box from free curb day.  Great find! Hot glue and a bit of trimming the grass ends turned out I'd say pretty fab. Scrunched in some tissue paper, viola.  Nice assorted bunch of soaps for mom. 
Punched two holes on either side of basket, slipped in a ribbon for a holder, done.  I will place inside a list of what each soap is what's in it and benifits.  Love this idea,   What a great way to promote your soaps and "gift" something unique.  Thanks for looking.  Happy Soaping.
