I just made some soap with 1/2 honey fo and 1/2 lemon sugar. It smells awesome together.

Are the chucks and the overpour scented the same? I saw someone on another board who had done the chunks with chocolate fo and the overpour in vanilla fo.

Hawiiansun, you make some beautiful crafts. Do you sew also?

Thanks for sharing. I love to sew.

Those are pretty.

We use Mulberry paper and wrap each bar like a little present. Actually, my wife does all the wrapping since it was her idea to begin with. I just wouldn't have the patience for something like that. When we put clear labels on them, they look really nice.

We get our paper at Creative Papers Online. One $2 sheet of paper (25"x37") is enough to wrap 15 bars of soap.

Here's what the soap looks like wrapped:

AHHH, I really like the looks of that jeffd. I like how the paper looks "wrinkly" and love your labels too. Very Nice.

For M&P soap I have found that Sam's Wrap from Walmart is the absolute best.

I have never thought of that. It doesn't pull the scent out of the soaps?

It's from Southern Soapers. Description is: (Fragrance of Flowers) is an ultra feminine fragrance resplendent with oriental lillies, osmanthus, pink freesia, fresh cut blush roses, blue delphinium, baby's breath and lacy ferns on a bottom of delicate musk and ozony fresh air.

Sounds devine. I noticed baby's breath in the description and thought I would like try a sniffie of baby's breath itself sometime. I like that.

I was looking at the Brambleberry.com site and saw this

SHIPPING NOTE: Our Bulk bases are poured into a box that fits perfectly in a large flat rate box. This means that shipping for one 25 pound block of M&P base is just $12.95 plus insurance to any US address. Just put a note in the comment box of the shopping cart to request this option!

That's a great price for shipping no matter what where you live.

That is a really good deal. Is the block hard to cut at that size I wonder?

but I was wondering if it is "harder" to make then wax candles? And also, where do most of you buy your gel at?

I have never ordered from them, that it just rediculous costs for shipping. A priority box is less then that.

Good Luck!

I have no really good workspace with a tiny kitchen in my main home, so I'm currently making more candles than usual over at the beach house. I've got a better setup over here, so I pour pretty much all the time while I'm on this beloved island.

I'll go stay in the other house for a few days and soap. I've got my laser printer there, so I have to go back and forth.

Wow, you are busy. So you keep supplies at both places then? I would love to have a little getaway place.

If the bottom of my socket is open my bulb would fall out:sad2:

Oh, So this is not a clip style socket then, right? (Forgive me, I'm new here and just learning everyone's techniques here.)

I was wondering how often some of you make candles? Once a week, couple times a month? And when you do, how many at a time do you make?

This is sad. I believe we are going to see many suppliers closing this year. I sure am praying for EVERYONE.

Do you have a description of what this smells like? I have never heard of this? Thanks!

Hello.

I make melt and pour soap and I use fabric to wrap my soaps in, but I was curious as to where some of you buy your soap packaging at?

I've seen these before, and I thought the hole is supposed to be open? Seems like the bottom of the socket would need to be uncovered. Was your problem with just the width of your hole around the socket?

Sorry for my questions, but I know nothing about these. I do think its pretty cool looking though.

I hope you will show a finished photo when you are all done.

I don"t care for manufactured candles at all, but I do like some of the jars they make these in. I just wonder how they can sell them at such low costs.

Very Cute!

Mine would be the plastic round cinnamon roll container that the icing comes in.

That is really nice looking soap.

I am new to the board and have been making candles for almost two years now. Nothing fancy like I see with alot of you here. I make only soy candles 415 wax. Hope to be able to learn alot more from you all.
