Step-by-step instructions for making Christmas soaps with beautiful packaging

Step 1: Create and design templates

First, print out the template of your choice and cut it out carefully. transfer the cut-out template to a piece of vellum paper. Design the inner surface of the tracing paper to your liking using the silicone stamps. These create a unique design and give your creativity free rein. Then cut out the designed vellum paper neatly.

Step 2: Melt and pour the soap

Take your soap and place it in a melting ladle or universal melting pot - both are good for melting the soap at a low temperature. Make sure that the soap mass does not get too hot to maintain its quality. Pour a small amount of the melted soap into your mold. Then sprinkle the soap charms - small decorative bars of soap - into the mold as desired. Place the prepared vellum paper on top and fill the mold with the remaining soap. Leave everything to cool completely so that the soap becomes firm and stable.

Step 3: Print and protect the soap dish

Give your soap dish a personal touch by printing it with the silicone stamps. This technique allows you to create creative designs and patterns on the soap dish. To protect the soap dish from moisture and wetness, apply a coat of acrylic varnish VBS Acrylic lacquer. The varnish forms a water-repellent protective layer and ensures that your soap dish stays beautiful for a long time.

Step 4: gift wrapping from matchboxes

If you want to give your soaps as a gift, matchboxes are ideal as a creative gift wrapping. Cut a piece of from vellum paper about 9 cm wide and design it in the middle with the silicone stamps. To wrap the box decoratively, place the designed vellum paper around the matchbox and carefully glue it together on the back using handicraft glue .

Step 5: Wrap and finish the soap

Cut a piece of straw silk paper and place it in the matchbox. This gives the soap a decorative frame and also protects it from scratches. Carefully remove the cooled soap from the mold and place it on the straw silk paper in the box.
