    Packaging My First Batch.

    I apologise for putting these up for sale and I took them down after about 15 minutes after realising my mistake. They are 4 weeks old and I thought I would be ok to sell them but after research I went against it. I'd delete the post but I can't find a way to do so. I guess they'll make nice...

    Packaging My First Batch.

    The shrink wrap I bought had unclear sizes and my soap didn't fit! So I had to use 2 bands for each soap and used a cardboard band to cover the overlap. I thing the results look good though. Next time I'll make sure the sizes are correct.

    First batch, Mottling.

    First batch, Mottling.

    Hi there! First post and first time making cold process soap. This is my first batch which didn't go all that terribly but as you can see it has an mottled colouring and I'd be very grateful if I could get some advice for next time. I have a feeling it has something to do with the insulation...
