I've been making a few bars of soaps but I really need to get some new soap molds.
That is another question where have you found the best prices on soap molds? Also last question on this topic for now is what would be a good price to set prices at if I am able to start selling soaps at the flea markets, like a good starting price, I've found several places I can get soap making supplies, but I'm not sure about how to set prices, because depending on the soap it can take a lot to make a bar of soap, or not so much. Just depends on what kind that is being made, I can't afford to make anything and sell it for what it costs me to make, in other words I need to be able to make a profit if I am going to do it at all.
I am thinking of making a variety of soaps to sell at a local flea market, provided we are able to get the car running so I can actually get some place. My dh tried fixing something else on the car, but it did not work and it could take a little longer to get it fixed, the car is driving me crazy actually, and the van is not a lot better it is running but barely. I just hope it does not go out too. Anyway, I'm rambling as usual...
I am also thinking about making candle's but I've not made candle's since I lived up north, so I was wondering how hard it would be to get started making candle's I don't currenly have any thing to make candle's I do have a few things pertaining to making soaps. so I am thinking I will need to start with soaps and if that does well I could move on to candle's.
So anyway, just thought I'd see whether or not anyone else is currently doing this and see if this is a good idea or not? |
Do any of you make soaps or candle's?
