Hello everyone! In this video, I am making our Christmas Cookies Soap for the 2019 Holiday Season! We have a Short & Sweet version on the channel as well!

F A Q S

Why doesn’t your video have a recipe and supply list? This video is not a tutorial.

How do I get started in soapmaking? Start off by researching. Educate and then experiment. Be sure to follow all proper safety precautions. A great starting place is the beginner cold process soapmaking series by SoapQueenTV here on YouTube. You can then purchase all the supplies you need at Bramble Berry. Lovin Soap Studio also has a beginner series on YouTube.

Why don't you share your cold process soap recipe? Our recipe is proprietary. We are contractually obligated to keep our recipe a secret. I do occasionally share a test recipe. I highly recommend Bramble Berry, Lovin' Soap, and The Nerdy Farm Wife for free recipes. Those resources are a great starting point and then you can tweak your favorite recipe to make it your own.

Where do you buy your oils? We purchase our oils in bulk at Soapers Choice, Wholesale Supplies Plus, and Sam's Club.

Where did you buy your molds? My husband builds all my wood molds. My silicone molds are from various suppliers.

Where did you buy your soap planer? My husband built the soap planer for me.

Where did you buy your soap cutter? We purchased our soap cutter at Bud’s Woodshop.

Where did you buy your soap loaf splitter? Our loaf splitter was purchased from Smith Creek Studio.

Where do you buy your soaping containers? My pitchers are from School Masters and my large plastic containers are from Webstaurant Store.

Where do you buy your fragrance oils? We purchase our oils from many different suppliers. We don’t have a one-stop-shop for all of our oils. We blend the majority of the fragrances we work with.

Where do you buy your colors? We buy our colors at Bramble Berry, Nurture Soap, and now Mad Micas.

Where do you buy your coconut milk? I was buying So Delicious Organic Coconut Milk on Amazon but I think you all bought them out! Ha! I now buy Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk. Please don't buy them out. I need coconut milk. lol

Where do you buy your soap boxes? We usually buy our boxes from Wholesale Supplies Plus or Elements Bath and Body.

How do you design and print your labels? I use Adobe Photoshop to design my labels. I use full sheet labels and print with our HP Office Jet Inkjet printer.

Where do you buy your packaging materials? We buy our packaging materials at various suppliers including Paper Mart, ULine, Nashville Wraps, Eco Enclose, and Amazon.

Do you give classes? No, I do not offer classes. However, if you need help, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

Why are the comments disabled on your older videos? Unfortunately, good social media manners are becoming a thing of the past. Due to some very negative, hateful, and vile comments, I am no longer allowing commenting on older videos. The older videos seem to be the ones targeted. Newer videos may have approved comments for a time. I welcome decent, respectful comments.
