I have a good shampoo bar that I scent with tea tree and color with nettle. I'd like to do one with a natural herbal blue color for grey/white hair. I have Indigo but I'm afraid it might turn into a little old blue hair lady soap. I see that Blue Malva is used in shampoos but I don't know how...

I save my scraps, roll them into balls and put them in small mesh bags with our church's logo and other information and donate them to the local food pantry.

Just a thought...a lot of people have soybean allergies.

I melt my solid oils into quart jars when I get them. Makes it much easier.

Nice video. I have the red metal soap cutter from Essential Depot and several of the molds with the wire racks. It's so nice to have that uniformity. I love it.

I put my solid oils in quart canning jars and then just melt what I need in my microwave. I soap at room temp,

Promote my business a little more (just got my website up and running in November.). Work on getting my products into more local shops, and consider an Etsy account.

How do you folks handle shipping costs? Do you charge a handling fee? I'm just starting out with my business and decided to go with a flat rate of $10.00 for shipping but I can see that I will go broke soon if I don't charge more. Currently I'm using USPS flat rate boxes but because I offer...

I live in NYS and am under the impression that you pay sales tax where the seller is physically located. If I'm at a craft fair I charge tax from the county I am in. If I'm shipping from my home I charge the 8% for Niagara County. I'm very fortunate to have a son in law who's a tax professional.

Over 75 batches. I always make 2-3 batches at a time and make soap 1-2 days a week. I donate to the local food pantry too.

I got the crates in the craft section. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Great idea. I have it on my phone. I don't know how many shows I will do but I want to be prepared. The banner was well worth the money and at the show I cleared $300 for a show that had about 100 attendees and only 8 booths and lasted for 3 hours. Thanks for your feedback.

Aline, I got the crates at Walmart and they were Betty reasonable.

I have the small frame with the product prices.

Thank you. I guess all those years in retail Merchandise paid off but it sure took its toll on my feet.

I did a dress rehearsal in my basement for a very small show I was in last week. I think my table looks good but I know it can always be better. One very good thing about doing a small show is getting a feel for what customers like and dislike. Does it look like I have enough product? I...
