I'm never quite sure how to package my soaps. I've seen handmade soaps in little boxes but that seems to be a waste of cardboard. I've seen them in cloth bags but then you can't see the soap and it doesn't get as much access to air to continue to harden.
When I use a fancy mold, I wrap the soap in white or ivory netting and tie it with hemp or raffia. The soap can then be easily viewed and it's open to the air. Some folks tell me they like to use the soap with the netting on as a built-in scrubbie.
For the rectangles and circles, I'm thinking of a plain paper band with a sticker. I just worry about the band falling off of the round shapes.
Feedback appreciated!
About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
