What about using a paper coffee sleeve for a "wrapper." You could get a cool rubber stamp or address label-type stamp or custom label (from Vistaprint.com) to apply your business name and/or product info directly to the wrapper. The self-inking stamps can be personalized and are economical these days. I'm sure there are some freebie labels and such out there to be had too. <br /><br />You could then put your soaps in a cello wrapper with a sticker holding it shut.<br /><br />Have fun with it! I'm sure there are many ways to make your soaps look earthy and natural.Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778337511021589629.post-63696469416437976582015-10-28T17:31:39.924-07:002015-10-28T17:31:39.924-07:00Hmmmm....

But, I think, otherwise, to preserve the scent, the Ziploc baggies would be a good idea. I also like the idea of labels with your little English robin on them. :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778337511021589629.post-65788151395279631512015-10-28T12:33:36.854-07:002015-10-28T12:33:36.854-07:00Dear M.K. ~ I like the 'fabric' wrapping w...Dear M.K. ~ I like the 'fabric' wrapping with the twine because you can see your soap, plus the little bird on it was sweet. I don't like the burlap covering the whole bar of soap. You could cut the burlap down the length to make narrower pieces, do you know what I mean. Tie the twine like you did on the burlap, but make the knot at the intersection of the two pieces of twine. By connecting the two by tying one piece around the other, then make your knot. Does that make sense?<br /><br />I think your soaps are lovely and they should be seen. Soaps do lose their scents after awhile and to me that is always a bummer.<br /><br />I also think your header with the bird would make a really, lovely tag/label<br /><br />Just my humble 2 cents worth.<br /><br />I like your sweet work space.<br /><br />Happy Crafting ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778337511021589629.post-60400176783526243092015-10-28T11:09:19.919-07:002015-10-28T11:09:19.919-07:00I have no advice, but I am impressed.

For the shop I would skip the plastic. I think it detracts from the soap. For mailing I would use the plastic and put the label on the back.<br />: )happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778337511021589629.post-67406789240648882015-10-28T05:49:45.488-07:002015-10-28T05:49:45.488-07:00I buy sheets of labels that are blank, round circl...I buy sheets of labels that are blank, round circles. They are stickers. Then, I've had a couple stamps made through etsy makers that list my soap ingredients and website. I use the small plastic bags from Michael's (treat bags I think) and then use the sticker/label to fold over the bag and close. I like your burlap!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151316366862075643noreply@blogger.com
