Those of us who actually make soap fully understand what you are saying. Or at least I do. Top that with, like you said, shooting, buying video equipment, editing, uploading, adding this and that to make it a great looking video, all takes valuable time. Like they say, time is money. You are absolutely correct, Royalty soaps only gives one recipe. I highly doubt that one recipe is all she has. Different designs need certain oils to give you time to make them. The recipe for the frosting most often is not the recipe for the bars. I am new to your channel and I commented on another post where you ASKED people if they thought it was a good idea to charge for your recipes. It was a resounding YES from me! I paid a subscription in full for a year to another soap maker who also does videos on TH-cam. She touted that you get SO MUCH MORE when you subscribe. That was not the case. The sites copyright is from 2017, which tells me these are very old recipes or no one has bothered to do any updates. So where is the new content? Most of the recipes don't even have videos attached. I would scroll through all the lovely pictures on her site trying to decide which recipe I wanted only to find that there was no recipe and no video, only a picture?! Of course no one has ever gotten back to me with regard to these problems. Sorry to make this so long but people need to know what else is out there as opposed to what you offer. First of all you offer truth and very good tips & tricks, which proves you care about your subscribers and are NOT just out to get a check from TH-cam. This is your business. I'm sure anyone who has issue with you charging for your recipes, your hard work, would be very upset if they worked for a week and was told 'Sorry no check for you!' Anyway, I love your videos and fully support your decision to expand your business while helping soapers. (^o^)
Thanks for the great feedback, Gwen! That is exactly why I don't want to go the Patreon route. I don't have time to give extras, and I can't even guarantee regular videos, so this way, if someone wants to contribute, they can just buy a recipe. Thank you for letting me know about your experience, Gwen. 💕🌳
Teri, I LOVE this design! It’s elegantly simple (simply elegant?). And I love the idea of using secondary colors only. Glad you have taken the time you needed to regroup. I always look forward to your videos and revisit previous ones often. Thanx for sharing your expertise and tips! Be safe.
Thank you so much, Debbie! It's good to be back! When I was a floral designer. I loved making arrangements with secondary colors. The combo was gorgeous! 💜💚🧡
I'm just learning about soap making during the Covid days and as a chef and pastry chef I really enjoy and appreciate they way you work. It's all about your planning and the super clean way you work. And factoring in the creativity, I really love watching these. Thanks
i would sincerely like to apologize to Teri and her loyal followers and friends for my comments and hope that it will have a good outcome because newbies to the soap world and ignorant too of how much is involved will be queing up buying soap from her shop. I have received a very gracious reply from this beautiful person when she definately didn't owe me any explanation,a truly warm hearted soul.
Thank you, Andrea. I realize you were frustrated. Hang in there and ask questions. Soap makers are very gracious. I wish you all the best on your soap making journey. ~Teri
The lard does have Beta Hydroxy Acid, which is good for skin in most cases. I have many recipes that I use though. They don't all contain lard. Sorry you are allergic. 💕
It's such a simple, yet dramatic effect!! I do love the color palette with the secondary colors - very Spring-like! You always do an excellent job of planning out your designs! Your motto should be "Plan the Soap and Soap the Plan"! 😀
You are an amazing teacher! I am learning so much from you, definitely going to do this today....your colours are lovely, your soaps are beautiful....Thankyou so much, love your channel. Be safe x
I’m so glad you’re back!!! I’ve missed your soaps and your voice-overs! Loving these secondary colors! I can’t stop using exclamation points!!! AhhHhHhHhhH!!! 💗
Tree Marie Soapworks I do like the first ones (Red, green, purple if I’m not wrong?) but the orange makes it a perfect balance. Plus, like you mentioned, they’re Halloween colors! 🎃👻 I can imagine other combinations such as pastel pink/blue/purple or a spring themed pastel green/yellow/blue/pink. I feel I have way too many soap ideas for someone who doesn’t make it. 😅💕
I have been looking for you all over! I was so happy when Holly Kapia mentioned you recently- I almost wondered if you were still soaking! I absolutely love and very much look forward to your videos! I am watching all of your advertisements IN FULL. Is there anything else we can do to help you upload more videos more frequently???? xoxoxo
Holly of Kapia Mera is terrific! I have so much else going on that it is hard to get the videos done. I drag my feet when it comes to editing. It is a long process, and I get bored with it. I don't know what the answer is, but that is where I am getting hung up. Thank you for your support! It is so appreciated!
The soap came out just gorgeous! I love the colours and everything about it. Thank you for all your wonderful and helpful tutorials. I learn so much from you. 💕
I'm new to soap and enjoyed this very much. I'm just so confused and amazed at the same time... how in the world did squeezing a line of color create a drop. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Welcome back! Enjoy your time with your family. I actually do like the color pallet better in your second batch, and I love that the purple drop is larger than the other two. It adds interest; beautiful, simple soap.
I really enjoy your videos. You have a very soothing voice but as others have said when you mentioned skydiving it took me for a loop (no bun intended). Please keep making videos you are quite an artist!!! I hope you and your family are well!!!
I tried it but the drops didn't show. Is it because I went too fast and also because the trace was thin like your first batch? I also didn't squeeze it first to ensure that the soap was flowing....Thanks Teri!
Second time I’ve watched the video! I’m going to give this technique a try, I really LOVE the simplicity and “clean” sharp contrast of the white with the bright colors. Thank You again for sharing your beautiful soap and recipe ☺️
Sweetheart ❤ The video and the soap is amazing 👍 I loved the colours and the design specially the second one was the best. I wish you and your family all good health and may God protect you and your family and everyone ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Lovely. I was wondering about a darker one. Might call it rainy nights - wonder could I even put a lighting embed. Then I remembered I don't make soap 😂🤣
Hi Terri, I hope you and your family are doing well. I was wondering, what kind of bottles you used and where you got them? Can't wait for your next video!💞😊
We are well, Janine, thank you for asking.💕 I got the bottles locally at a hardware store that carries cooking and backing supplies. I think the bottles are used for chocolate work. They are 12 oz. I found some similar ones ones on Amazon, but they are 16 oz. 💖✨ Best of luck to you! www.amazon.com/dp/B00OZOW6E0/?coliid=I2YDHHCKZ4LMRR&colid=186158P92HKGJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I melt the hard oils first until they are just melted. That means that they are completely clear and not too hot. I try and keep the temps down to avoid having to wait too long for things to cool. Adding the liquid oils later helps the hard oils to cool down. (I soap around the temps of 85-95 degrees F.) If the oils aren't clear at any time before you add the lye water, gently heat them until the oils are completely clear and no shimmery streaks remain. (The oils must be melted to avoid stearic spots in your final product.)
If you pre-mix your pigments with a liquid oil, do they stay dispersed so you can store them as concentrated coloured oil in a squeeze bottle, or do they settle out so you have to re-mix them before use?
I would only do this for the titanium dioxide since it is super time consuming to mix. It does settle, so I have added some new stainless steel bolts to help agitate. I mix the TD in oil because it can then be stirred in. Stick blending causes acceleration, and my designs often need to stay fluid, so once the color is added, I don't stick blend.
Holy Moly the bag in the bottle trick is a game changer!! I've spent WAY to much time trying to clean my bottles after doing this pour HAHA or usually just end up buying new one every time, Thank you thank you thank you :)
I already said earlier how beautiful this is but forgot to ask a question I had. Are the drops visible on both sides of the soap? I tend to think not, but if you would tell us, that would be great! Thanks again and be safe.
I did watch to the end, but maybe I missed the first time when you may have shown both sides after cutting? I'll watch again. Thank you so much and be safe with your family!
Yes, start simple. You set yourself up for frustration if you try doing the advanced techniques at the beginning. Perhaps try this recipe. www.elementsbathandbody.com/basic-cold-process-soap-recipe/
I use this same technique to make the seeds on my watermelon soap
Yep, they make perfect seeds! 🍉

I've always wondered, is your lard THBQ and BHT Free? It's pretty standard to have those preservatives in lard and I'm allergic. 😭
The lard does have Beta Hydroxy Acid, which is good for skin in most cases. I have many recipes that I use though. They don't all contain lard. Sorry you are allergic. 💕
The diagonal ruler divide technique is genius! Not to mention the absolutely adorable design and color combination. Thanks so much for sharing!

I just 'met' you. Thank you for an inspiring video. You explain so well! :)
What a lovely treat to wake up this morning and see there's a video from you. Yippee. Beautiful elegant soap.
Thank you, Lisa! Enjoy!
I tried it but the drops didn't show. Is it because I went too fast and also because the trace was thin like your first batch? I also didn't squeeze it first to ensure that the soap was flowing....Thanks Teri!
where did you buy the bogs to go into your squeeze bottles :) thank you for showing us this.. Love it gonna have a try at it soon :)
Puneți vă rog traducere și în limba română. Mulțumesc...
You are one of the best inspirations I have for soapmaking, thank you so much for your great work! 👍♥️👏
Aww...thank you so much! 😘💕✨
Great video, beautiful soap! I have 2 of that same mold, but mine bow out really bad in the middle. It makes me sad because I love the shape.
I dont inderstand the physics of this.. how do the colors look like drops and not circles? Can somebody explain?
Thx for posting. I’m bored. Lol
LOL, I can help! 😊
I can’t wait to try this. I do have a question I’m wondering about how do you retain your soap sent? I noticed that a lot of mine has faded away.
Second time I’ve watched the video! I’m going to give this technique a try, I really LOVE the simplicity and “clean” sharp contrast of the white with the bright colors. Thank You again for sharing your beautiful soap and recipe ☺️
Love it. Anticipating your return. Thanks and stay safe!
Thank you, Jacque! You too! 💝
Take care Teri. Love the second soaps. The “drops” were perfect!
Thank you! You too! 😘💕
Lovely soap! What brand is that scale? I like the structure.

That’s a great soap design!! I’ve wanted to do the drops. Thank you for a very informative video. 😊
You're welcome, Denise! 💦
I love the sweet of your voice and the patient 💕
why not just squeeze the bags rather put in pipets
I'm not a soapmaker but I do wonder, is there a reason that you use lard? Could you make your soap vegan and have the same quality? I love your videos and like I said, I do not do what you do. Just wondering
Yes you absolutely can! I soap palm and lard free!
Probably a newbie question, but why wait to add liquid oils to hard oils? At 7 min 20 sec you mentioned this.
I melt the hard oils first until they are just melted. That means that they are completely clear and not too hot. I try and keep the temps down to avoid having to wait too long for things to cool. Adding the liquid oils later helps the hard oils to cool down. (I soap around the temps of 85-95 degrees F.) If the oils aren't clear at any time before you add the lye water, gently heat them until the oils are completely clear and no shimmery streaks remain. (The oils must be melted to avoid stearic spots in your final product.)
Very Inspiring . Thank you
Hi hi when you premix the color what oil do you use ? Is the oil amount calculated in the recipe? Or won’t affect the recipe?
I use Olive Oil, and it just adds to the superfat.
If you pre-mix your pigments with a liquid oil, do they stay dispersed so you can store them as concentrated coloured oil in a squeeze bottle, or do they settle out so you have to re-mix them before use?
I would only do this for the titanium dioxide since it is super time consuming to mix. It does settle, so I have added some new stainless steel bolts to help agitate. I mix the TD in oil because it can then be stirred in. Stick blending causes acceleration, and my designs often need to stay fluid, so once the color is added, I don't stick blend.
I'm so glad you posted, I missed your videos 🤗 amazing as usual 🎉
Thank you! 💝
Beautiful! I love the batch with the orange! So pretty.
Thank you, Courtney! 🧡
Love it!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you - great video!
Please tell me why my soap doesn't become hard, I use hot process. Thanks Beatrice
Have you joined my Facebook group? You can ask questions there, and we can help you troubleshoot. facebook.com/groups/treemariesoapworks/
B’ful ... loved it... can I do ur designing with m&p???
It is not possible to use this technique with M&P. Thank you!
Awesome it reminds me of a song “Rain drops keep falling on my head” I LOVED YOUR DESIGNS so Graceful
Why do soap makers sometimes mark their loaf on an angle for the individual bars, and not lay the rule straight across the length?
I do this to divide equally. Here is a video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/K51Z-0pohXs/w-d-xo.html
Holy Moly the bag in the bottle trick is a game changer!! I've spent WAY to much time trying to clean my bottles after doing this pour HAHA or usually just end up buying new one every time, Thank you thank you thank you :)
Love this design. Always love to learn from you💜
Thank you; it's good to be back. 💜
I already said earlier how beautiful this is but forgot to ask a question I had. Are the drops visible on both sides of the soap? I tend to think not, but if you would tell us, that would be great! Thanks again and be safe.
Yes, It goes all the way through. You'll have to watch the end of the video; you can see me cut it.
I did watch to the end, but maybe I missed the first time when you may have shown both sides after cutting? I'll watch again. Thank you so much and be safe with your family!
I really like your detailed explanations ! 👍
Oh, I love both versions! They are so adorable! 💧💧💧
Thank you! 😊
Gorilla tape...sticky as it gets
Hi I am a beginner what do u recommend just a basic solid color and work up or start hard and stay hard I am 18 and I am a boy
