Publisher's Synopsis
The holiday season is usually the busiest time of year for soapmakers and small business owners. Preparing for markets and dealing with the increase in orders can feel a bit overwhelming. Luckily, the soapmaking community is here to help. We asked how people stayed on track on our Facebook and Instagram pages and got some great tips - thanks to everyone who commented. Find the tips below.
Although I do offer a wide variety of colors, scents and styles of soaps for the holidays, I try to stick with just a couple favorite recipes...instead of many different ones. That way, ingredients are always available, recipes are tried, tested and true and labels are universal. There's plenty of time after the holidays to play with new recipes and techniquesChristmas is just a few weeks away. Hard to believe, I know! If you're making handmade gifts, melt and pour soap is a great option at this stage in the game. It only takes a few hours to harden, and is ready to use as soon as it's fully cooled. These Christmas Star Melt and Pour Soaps are the perfect way to spread the Christmas cheer. They are also a great project for beginners. Discover "Christmas Soap Recipes" how:
