I found some at a bulk food supplier. It was a little expensive, but I just wanted to try some for Bath bombs and also used it for my Bath Melts. I am going to call the owner or stop down and see her to see if she will give me a deal on a pound or so. Steph
I like the mixed ones. My aunt gave me a bunch of the wire bail containers, pints and quarts! Thankfully they are all pretty clean. I can't bring myself to sell them because they are hard to find and expensive, so they will just be used as gifts! Steph
Those are adorable! I just bought one of those ice cube trays last week and it was $2.97. I think I will be going to buy another one just for soap! At leas they are 3D that way and look like real crayons! Steph
Not sure about where to buy it already made, but at any craft store you can buy a Fiskars paper crimper for anywhere between $8 and $12. I have also seen them in Ltd. Commodities. You can use any kind of paper, but the craft brown rolls are so cheap that it might be worth your investment! I think I am going to order one to wrap my homemade soaps in when I start to sell. HTH, Steph
I am not good with names and you have quite a few good suggestions! Just wanted to let you know I was wondering where you were at and your soap looks divine! I love the colors! Steph
I know there was a recent post about how to downsize a recipe, but I can't find it! I know there was something about totalling up the oils in the original recipe, but I can't remember how to figure out the percentages. Thanks, Steph
Thanks, Jen. I have some Spearment EO that i forgot i just got and might try that with some cornmeal or some other EO. I also have a recipe (from Soapnuts, I believe) that uses part tomato juice, so I might try something with that. not sure if it would smell like tomatoes or not, though. Steph
That bear is cute and I am sure she will sell well. I had the same idea for the tarts, which I will add eventually. I had 2 aunts with breast cancer, one survived and one just passed away this past March after 3 boughts with cancer. I want to do something to remember her buy and help with future research as well. I hope they both sell well for you! Steph
I don't have many FO or EO for this, so could someone suggest a basic recipe with a bit of exfoliation in it? I also have only some basic oils to work with (OO, Castor, Coconut, palm, soy, canola, and scented cocoa butter). TIA, Steph
I tried these last night and just had to throw 2 in the tub. I made them in some heart and butterfly molds. I threw 2 of them in my tub, but I think I could have done about 3. 4 of them was right around 1 oz. I am going to order from BCN soon and am going to get some of the foil liners. I know they have them locally at the candy shops, I just haven't gotten there to find them yet (gas is so expensive, I don't want to drive there just for one thing). I will be sending some out for testers on another board (non-candle related), so hopefully I will get some great feedback on them! Steph
