I just got into the soaping biz and wow, I’m in a state of shock at how much else is involved other than making the soap. It’s inventory, it’s videos and tutorials, it’s editing and lighting, packaging, editing, printing, labeling, cleaning, beveling. It’s advertising, a crash course in attractive photo taking, maintaining Pinterest, Facebook, Etsy, youtube, and more. It’s communication and emails. It’s cleaning cleaning and more cleaning. Organizing your entire house for all the oils and molds. It’s A LOT AND I LOVE IT! Thank you for your videos, they are helpful and informative!
The previous doctor's office was getting rid of a lot of office equipment. They asked me do I wanted the cutter just like yours I said yes. Crazy that I finally will have a reason to use it for my upcoming business. I like yours a lot more.
One of the things people don't seem to get is that when you buy something from an artisan, you aren't paying for bulk ingredients being blended up by a machine. You're paying for the time that a person spent designing, creating, and packaging that item just for you.
Wow, this video was just gorgeous. The attention to detail, how everything fit in the packages so well (I swear, it was like you chose your bar size based on your box size... so good, oh so good), how perfectly organized and confident you were! And I've got to admit, I've struggled with tissue paper my ENTIRE LIFE and I think you just taught me how to not be a klutz with it anymore, LOL. Great video, I'm sure I'll be watching it many times!
To say I'm inspired by your videos is an understatement. I am completely in love with your whole soapmaking process from start to the actual shipping of your products. You are the reason I started my own candle and soapmaking business. I hope to be as amazing as you someday. I apologize for taking years to comment, but at least I've been a faithful subscriber and do go on a video binge from time to time. I can't get enough of your channel 🌜🌞🌛
I ENJOYED watching this! So simple yet professional. I am always looking for ways to improve for my customers. You have inspired me to step my game up! Thank you for shining your light! I love the look of your brand!
One of the BesT things I like about your videos are, you are a person of ACTion, not all that chatter and saying nothing. I get all my answers simply by relaxing to your music and watching the hands!!
Hi there. I enjoy watching your videos very much. Even though I have been a soap maker for almost 20 years now and had a business for 10 of those years, I have to admit, I have label envy. I have always struggled with label making. Of course when I started, all I had was a word processing program on my old windows computer. What a nightmare that used to be!!! Especially since I knew nothing about word processing. LOL!!! Things are soooo very much easier today. I have been using online labels to design my labels and I have quite surprised myself by making some very lovely labels ( I am a hobby soaper now, but I label everything before I give it away). I had a beautiful logo made by someone on etsy, but I am confused as to where to find decorative graphics, backgrounds and borders to purchase. My labels still need a little something. Do you have any suggestions on where to find nice graphics? Thank you in advance if you have any suggestions for teaching this old soap dog some new label tricks.
You rock! I clicked on the link below for the paper cutter put its not like yours. I love the different blades that are included. Also please tell me the paper you use for round labels and soap labels. I love the attention to detail.
Oh my gosh I am just binge watching your videos. I mean I am just floored at the whole process. Please continue to make more of these. I hope you plan on making that lemongrass soap. I went to your website and you are sold out on the chocolate and the soap scraps. My name is LaCourdia.
I love the way you added that charm to the regular cigar band by cutting it. Btw may I ask for the dimensions of your soaps....I just love the length and breadth of it... They look so perfect
You’re welcome! I get them from either Hobby Lobby or The Dollar Tree Store. One day I will buy in bulk lol I have this one saved from eBay. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123286320760
For those who don’t have a heat gun, can we use an hair dryer instead? My heat gun broke and i end up with lots of shrink bags without money to buy another gun soon.
@@OpheliasSoapery I remember a stronger version of this one from years ago and enjoyed them so much. Its too bad they stopped making them instead of just improving them.
Ohhh so soothing to my OCD🤪. I think I am in love with your cuter... almost as much as I love your soaps!! BTW: The Oat Milk soaps ROCKS! It is now my favorite.
On Etsy! I don’t recommend the particular seller I used. (She put the stamp on crooked lol) But search custom rubber stamp and you’ll see a lot of sellers :)
I think for me this is best. Since my bars are double the size of most they weigh a lot more and 99% of orders I receive I can ship in the padded flat rate envelopes which only cost $7.55 to ship. The white boxes I use average around .50 each. If I were to ship using USPS medium boxes it would cost over $13 to ship.
Try this one rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123575298367 It’s not smell through. But at the bottom there is always a little opening:)
Que tipo de material es el que utiliza para envolver los jabones ,el que es transparente que parece bolsita par los jabones cuadrados y redondos? Saludos desde México!! Espero me responda, gracias!!

Yes!! There is so much involved! But I love it too 😏
🤣🤣🤣🤣welcome...
I am amazed by how beautiful your soaps and packaging are. The effort taken for each order is so thoughtful and personal. Stunning, every single time.
So satisfying to watch!! You are so neat and efficient. My OCD kicks in and I could watch this over and over!! ❤
I swear your comment is telling the truth. She is so neat and organized and the packaging just enlightens me. I am just loving her content.
Packaging and shipping soaps is my dream job lol! I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s so satisfying!
Great packaging/branding. You can tell that a lot of attention/care went into it.
When the packaging is in competition with the soap 🤩
So therapeutic. Your little touches make the package special. Well done!
You have the most gorgeous branding of any soap business I have ever seen. Every detail clearly tells an artful story…I love it SO much!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that 💞

You rock! I clicked on the link below for the paper cutter put its not like yours. I love the different blades that are included. Also please tell me the paper you use for round labels and soap labels. I love the attention to detail.

Awsome touch with the box. I thought you had them professionally printed on.

Absolute professional perfection. Beautiful.
Thank you 🙃 what label #. do you use in the Avery program for soaps? And what type of paper stock do you use? Thank you very pretty and professional.
I’m not sure the label number. I use onlinelabels.coms software now. It’s the 3.5x8 labels.
The paper I use is called resume paper. :)
Impecable! Muy bonito presentado 👍😘
I have a hard time finding the right paper to wrap around my soaps. Can you please make any suggestions and where to buy ? 😊
I get my paper from Walmart. www.walmart.com/ip/Pen-Gear-Super-Premium-Bright-Copy-Paper-8-5-x-11-28-lb-97-Bright-300-Shts-55198/228360072

Great, I will check it. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Thank you for showing us your process!! ❤
Hi dear, Please which maschine are you using at 4:34? The one you use to sea the plastic. Thank you🤗
It’s called a heat gun :)
@@OpheliasSoapery Thank you so much🤗
Beautiful presentation! Where do you buy your black crinkle paper shreds? Have you found a good bulk price? Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! I get them from either Hobby Lobby or The Dollar Tree Store. One day I will buy in bulk lol
I have this one saved from eBay. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123286320760
Your labels are beautiful!!
Really Fantastic work.
Well done.
Thanks
Love the video and your process! Do you sale label templets? If you do I would love to purchase them.
Thank you ☺️ No I don’t but I believe you can get them from Etsy.
Hello Ophelia, Im wondering where can I buy a paper cutter like yours! with ruffle blade and others. Congratulations for your channel
I am from Mexico
Love this. So relaxing and enjoyable.
Immensely satisfying always 🙌🏻
For those who don’t have a heat gun, can we use an hair dryer instead? My heat gun broke and i end up with lots of shrink bags without money to buy another gun soon.
I believe you can. It might take longer. But I’m pretty sure I’ve seen someone use a hair dryer before :)
What size mailing bags are you using? You make it look so easy...thank you.
The USPS flat rate padded envelopes? I’m not sure. There is only that one size. I think they are 9x12 🤔
@@OpheliasSoapery thank you so much. Love your video. ❤
where did you get your stamps
I love the packaging. Really nice presentation.
Who else enjoyed watching this just as much as watching her soap making ?🙋🏽♀️🥰
Oh wow, where did you get that paper cutter?
eBay. I don’t recommend it. I had 2 and both broke lol
@@OpheliasSoapery oh no. OK thank you.
Where can I find a paper cutter like this one? I've looked everywhere and I dont think they make these anymore. 😭
I got it from eBay. They do not make them anymore. I actually do not recommend it. I had 2 and they break very easily :(
@@OpheliasSoapery I remember a stronger version of this one from years ago and enjoyed them so much. Its too bad they stopped making them instead of just improving them.
What do you think is the best way to wrap odd shaped soap ?
I use biodegradable shrink wrap. But you can also use glassine bags with a cute label :)
I am getting error messages for the links to boxes and paper punch😒 help!
Me too. Nothing opens. I've spent too much time looking for that cutter
What kind of paper are you printing the labels on? Cardstock?
Just regular copy paper :)
Ohhh so soothing to my OCD🤪. I think I am in love with your cuter... almost as much as I love your soaps!! BTW: The Oat Milk soaps ROCKS! It is now my favorite.
I’m so glad you love it!!!
Yes ma’am... I thought the oatmeal milk and honey was so good, this beat it... I plan to reorder next week if they are available
Hi dear soaper! Could you tell me what is the brand of your beautiful paper cutter?
Where did you get the custom stamp for your business name?? Its awesome!
On Etsy! I don’t recommend the particular seller I used. (She put the stamp on crooked lol)
But search custom rubber stamp and you’ll see a lot of sellers :)
So nice! Thanks for sharing!
Is this more coat efficient than just using the standard shipping pay office boxes vs buying your own boxes and then using their polymer bags?
I think for me this is best. Since my bars are double the size of most they weigh a lot more and 99% of orders I receive I can ship in the padded flat rate envelopes which only cost $7.55 to ship. The white boxes I use average around .50 each. If I were to ship using USPS medium boxes it would cost over $13 to ship.
Gn from guyana I love all ur vedios that I have watch so far. Can u plz let me know where did u got ur paper cutter from an what's the name of it plz?
I ordered it from eBay. I believe they are not available anymore. I think it was called Create a cut. But it broke soon after using it :/
Your packaging is so well done :-) I tried your link to the shrink wrap bags and it did not work for me. Also are is it smell through plastic?
Try this one rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123575298367

Love your process, could I ask where you got your stamps? .
I had the moon one made from Zazzle. And the logo one I ordered from Etsy. But wouldn’t recommend the seller 😕
@@OpheliasSoapery thanks
Trini you’re welcome! The service was fast but she put the stamp on the wood block crooked and the stamp on top is crooked. 😔😂
@@OpheliasSoapery I understand. I have been search for a good stamp myself 🙂
