Back in March 2011 I made a few batches of
cold pressed soap and put a few of my favourite recipes on the blog, after the soap had set I sliced it into rectangles and stored it away in my airing cupboard for it to cure, its been a few months now and its colour is paler and the soap has gone hard ready to use. This soap has loads of tiny bubbles when its used and the scent is very mild. I've decided that some will be given away as small gifts this Christmas so I set about packaging it with some lovely printed papers, this is how I did it....
 |
| A selection of patterned papers to wrap around the soap. |
 |
| The papers were cut into rectangles approx 25cm x 10cm and folded around each soap and secured with paper string. |
 |
| After the soap is wrapped I attatched a label with the soap name and ingredients onto the string |
 |
| The labels were designed in a word document and printed onto regular white card. |
 |
Finished soap!
