Soap Makers Help!

[chiknwhisperer]

Does anyone have a label making program or know of a good one? I want to make labels or something to wrap around my soaps or something like that, when I sell them.

Let me see if I can find the soaper's website that used Microsoft Word to make labels.

It was Excellent.

Hope I can find it again!

This thread has been such an inspiration to me that I have bought 3 soap making books and am gathering the supplies that I need to venture into the lye soap making area!! Just thought I would say thanks to all that have shared great ideas and photos and hopefully I will be making real home made soap this year that I wont be too ashamed to show you all!!!

To date I have only worked with the glycerin melt and pour...

LOL!! I have seen soap in this thread that makes me soooo envious I cannot stand it!!! I need another hobby like a hole in the head and the melt and pour has been so easy but this is just too tempting and you all are so dang professional at it I can't help myself!! LOL!!!!!!

I started with M&P, too, and had fun with it, and still do specialty things with it (like custom-ordered poodle soaps), but after a while you get frustrated with the limitations of M&P...like having to buy M&P base!

Going from M&P to cold process is like going from ordering chicks from a hatchery to hatching out your very own eggs!

Yes!! It will be so nice not to have to order the glycerin and I actually like the whitish colored soaps better in looks anyway! Looking forward to it and all the sage advice from this group!!! Thanks Poodles!!

LOL! unfortunately, while you won't have to order glycerin, you might just find yourself ordering about a bazillion OTHER things for the CP soap...it's... ahem.. a touch addicting. lol ~ esPECIALLY the many awesome SCENTS & essential oils. ;-D

It was actually one of your pictures of a tangerine (?) soap that definately made my mind up to try this!! I had been hemhawing all along but after that I went hunting for books on soap making and listing out my supplies!! You and Poodles are to blame! lol!!!!

I had a recipe for a Man Bar that I found on MMS so I tried it a few days ago. It came out great! DH said he can't wait to try it. And then yesterday I made a soap that has a strawberry delight fragrance oil in it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on it. I went a little away from the recipe I had been reading. I'm still working up the confidence to start experimenting with my own ideas.
