Soapmaking Day 2

By Eve Donnelly
Today we took the soaps out of the molds and cut them. It’s really exciting to see what the inside designs of the soap will look like. I used a “log cutter”  and cut into bars with what looked like a large hard-boiled egg cutter.


After I cut the soap and put the bars on the racks to dry, we began to make lip balms. We melted oils specifically used to make lip balm and put essential oils in. I then poured the melted mixture into the molds.  

While they cooled, we put together a few gift basket orders, wrapped and packaged them by hand and got them ready to be shipped. When the lip balms had cooled, I capped them and put labels on them.
