After I teach my soapmaking class the students fill out a feedback form with their comments. These comments are from the latest soapmaking class held on Sunday.

“Thank you for sharing your info and knowledge. This is so cool!”
“Really enjoyed it. It was very laid-back & comfortable.”
“Enjoyed it! Very informative and educational!”
“Good Class - very informative.” “Great Class!”

If you have taken one of my classes and have not filled out a feedback form, feel free to respond to this blog post or email me - lisa at feto soap dot com. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Soapmaking Party Packages are available, just ask! Please specify the number of attendees and I’ll send you a quote. We can make soap, perfume, lip balm, bath salts & solid perfume. These parties are great for birthdays, girl parties, bridal showers, mom’s night out, etc.

We provide all the materials and equipment - all you have to do is show up!

It’s a fun birthday party activity because everyone gets to take home a special soap they have created on their own!

If you are having a baby shower we can make baby shower themed soaps - like alphabet blocks in pastel colors. It’s a fun activity before or during a baby shower.

A soapmaking party is also a great idea for bachelorette parties - we can make bachelorette themed party favors!

Soapmaking Party Packages are also available, just ask! Please specify the number of attendees and I’ll send you a quote. We can make soap, perfume, lip balm, bath salts & solid perfume. These parties are great for birthdays, girl parties, bridal showers, etc. They start at $125 for a group of 10. That’s $12.50 per person, and each person gets to take two bars of custom soap they created.

You can also learn to make soap from scratch from my video here:

In case you missed it when it aired - see me make soap on HGTV’s That’s Clever show. I finally uploaded it to YouTube.

At Maker Faire I will have oval, round, rectangle, floral patterned and bees & honeycomb molds for people to use to create their own soap. I will also be bringing a box of toys, glitter and fragrances so you can make your soap look and have whatever you desire in it!

Here’s a fun cow soap I made with blue colorant, gold glitter and fresh rain fragrance in an oval mold.

I’ve made the decision on what 10 colors to bring with me at Maker Faire. The soap you create can be yellow, pink, red, orange, green, sea foam green, neon lime, blue, tan, or purple!
