I've been selling for about 5 months now and I don't like my name. When I started I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go in so I just picked a name. I'm wanting to change it to something a bit more memorable and unique. I have attached some pics of some new packaging ideas so you can get...

I'm wanting to get some pretty organza bags and fancy bows, stuff like that and wondering on pricing. So far I have been figuring my costs/ labor/ packaging and then multiplying it by 4. So if I can make my bar of soap for $1 then my price has been $4 retail. Now if I start adding in...

I'm just wondering how many different scents of soap you have. I've been recently working on making more soap, it takes a lot more creativity for soap than lotions and stuff and I have ideas for a lot. It's easy to get carried away :lol: Just love to hear about how other people do it.

I have been searching this and other forums for days trying to find this out and I'm sure theres a thread already with this question so If there is already, I apologize in advance. I'm wanting to start experimenting with HP soap and having trouble finding recipes to start on. Can I take CP...

Hi, I have been doing craft shows for about 6 months now (doing pretty much every one that I think will be good, 1-3 per month) and my results have not been very great. I know that after a while i will start to know which shows will be good for me and not but even the shows I do "well" at, I...

I'm going to be a vendor in an art event in a couple months and if it goes well I'll do it every month. It's a bit of a younger crowd very artsy. I'm starting to think about some things I could make that's geared toward this crowd. I was thinking of maybe some body glitter? A vendor friend...

I've been wrapping my melt and pour soaps in saran and using a little heat gun to seal it. It's been working out great and looks nice but over the last couple weeks, probably because of the heat (I live in Vegas) it's been starting to crinkle and not look neat and polished. I'm looking for a...

I've just started doing shows a couple months ago, I have been doing them by myself. Thinking about doing some of the bigger shows coming up in a couple months, like the Harvest Festival and other ones like that. I haven't been to them and not sure how busy they will be and wondering if I will...

I got a base from WSP and been experimenting with making shower gels and bubble bath (from their bubble wash concentrate and clear bubble bath) and both of these products are separating after sitting about a week. Thru my research I'm thinking it's because these bases are water based and my FO...
