DIY: Soap for Out of Towners

One part of the out of towner (OOT) bags that was 100% Chris' idea was to hand-make soaps for our guests.

So we did!

To start, we accumulated the following items:

1. Clear vegetable glycerine melt-and-pour soap base
2. Essential oils in various floral scents
3. Coloring
4. Heart mold

Following these directions, we made a couple of dozen soaps.

Then, when they were hardened, we put them in the same (unstamped) glassine bags that we're going to be using for the candy buffet.

After, I made a small tag (2" x 5") that Chris then printed on cardstock and cut.  I folded the bags over and stapled the tags to the front of the bags.

Here are the tags that I made:

The Result:

They turned out to be pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

It doesn't hurt that Chris was very proud of his idea. :)
