Ellen, I love this brown paper wrap❣️it’s my most favorite of all the wraps I’ve seen...clean, biodegradable & like a gift experiencing opening!! Plus you’re labels are just spot on, clean, simple & esthetically pleasing to the eyes. Thank you for your dedication to the craft & so eloquently sharing. Ann
I make mostly herbal soaps, and they are rustic looking but still beautiful. I really love your idea of using this paper! I think im going to go with the biodegradable shrink wrap and the labels on top, like you’ve done. There’s also paper that you can plant and it grows a plant or herbs 🌿. I’m in the Genesis of my soap making business, I really enjoy watching your videos. I admire the beauty of your soaps and look forward to purchasing some. Peace and Blessings… happy soaping 🧼
I like those wrappers. You make it look cute and yet simple. I do have the bio-degradable shrink wrap, which is thinner than the regular shrink wrap. I have been using it for about 3 years. I have to say, if I get careless and not be watchful, I will get holes because it is way more sensitive to the heat and even then I tend to lose a couple. So it's a toss up. Love these and thanks for sharing 💕
That's a good, eco-friendly idea. I have hundreds of shrink wraps left, but I'm looking for something different when they're gone. They're also rather labor intensive, plus eco-unfriendly, not to mention all the electricity used to shrink them. I'll check these out when I use the last shrink wrap. Thank you. Speaking of which, I have 22 bars to wrap so I'd better get started!!
Ellen, I'm not sure if you know this, but you can get the biodegradable shrink wrap without having to buy the whole system (that's what I did) and then you can just buy a heat gun (I got one from Harbor Freight) and an impulse sealer (I got one from Amazon) to get started. I was recently lucky enough to find a used shrink wrap system at a pawn shop (of all places!) and only paid $50! :-) but I did get started the less expensive way!
I really like the look of those wraps and labeling. I use avery as well but I always have issues with only the middle of the sheet are actually centered in the label. Haven't figured out how to fix that issue.
Beautiful wrapping. I bought a second hand shrink wrap system and it works great, but the shrink wrap that came with it is really thick. Would you please tell me more about the biodegradable shrink wrap you speak of in this video. I cannot find it. Thank you so much. Have a great week.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so very much. I am so excited about the biodegradable shrink wrap. I just need to save up a few pennies and then i am placing my order. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Hi Ellen, I am new to soaping and love your video's they are helpful to someone like myself. I have a quick question, on the soap you are wrapping have you put something on the top or is that slight soda ash. Sorry for asking but I dont really know what soda ash looks like in mild forms.
Hi! Yes, these bars have a bit of soda ash, and also organic oats on top. Ash just looks like a light powder or dust on the top and is easily washed off.
Online labels is great! I wrap my soap in tissue paper and use my ingredient label to tape it shut. I like the wraps you use but the color doesn't work for my business. Wonder if it comes in white....
I think it’s great it’s better to put more better ingredients in the soap than spend an enormous amount on fancy wrapping. At least my customers like it. I don’t have to charge as much on the soap bars.
You are my favorite soaper to watch, and I cannot say just how thankful I am for all of the info you provide. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
They are wrapped just like soap should be...like a gift!! Love it! ~jc
🥰 Thanks!
This is such a great way to do this. It is very efficient and attractive.
Love love love ur video !!! This is sooo clean and simple!!! Less really is more !
I really appreciate the wrapping of the soaps.

Love how professional you are.
A class A business.
Thank you for showing what goes into your work.
You are so welcome!
I just love watching your videos! I have learned so much from you. Thank you!
Great idea for wrapping soap. Simple, and professional looking. Perfect!
Thank you so much!

I love the brown wrap Ellen! I've been wondering how to label my soaps and this is a great idea and affordable! Thank you so much! 💕
You are so welcome!
Is this parchment paper?
I use bakery paper & kraft labels too, i think it looks just lovely💛
👍💕
Thank you showing us your wrapping and what you use!
Hi Ellen I liked it too. 🥰🇬🇧⛄
Ellen, love this idea!! 😀
Thanks!
I agree that the brown paper looks great!
Love this wrap. I use both white and tan color wraps. Depending on the color of the soap. They look neat.
I like the white paper too, been considering it for summer soaps💕
That’s creative thanks for sharing 💜💜💜💜
That looks really nice and a very nice environmentally friendly choice! Cool! Thanks for all of these great tips! 😎
Thanks!💕
Love the guitar music so much and of course I like your brown wrapping too. I would not have time to wrap each bar of soap, but it looks lovely!
Thank you! 😊
These look lovely. I'm not computer savvy either and label designing has me pulling out my hair lol.
You and me both! I've always wanted a cute wrap-around label with all the info on it... But I simply can't figure out how to make them🤣
Me too.

I was wondering if the bio shrink was fragile... Good to know.
Thank you so much for sharing! I really like this idea! They are so beautiful!

I'm like you, I have to use up what I have left of my old shrink wrap before I can get a new system.. Have fun wrapping!
Essay and elegant.
🥰💕
I’m new in your channel and in loving lol your videos!! Thanks for sharing your creations!
Thanks so much! 😊And thanks for watching!
Lovely!
🥰💕
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing.❤️
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. You have such a calm voice. When do you wrap your soaps. Once they cure? Before a show?
Ellen, I'm not sure if you know this, but you can get the biodegradable shrink wrap without having to buy the whole system (that's what I did) and then you can just buy a heat gun (I got one from Harbor Freight) and an impulse sealer (I got one from Amazon) to get started.

Great suggestions❣️
Just brought some of the bakery paper and lotion bar holder from your links at Amazon. Thanks.
Wonderful! Have fun wrapping!💕
I really like the look of those wraps and labeling. I use avery as well but I always have issues with only the middle of the sheet are actually centered in the label. Haven't figured out how to fix that issue.
Thanks! I've had line-up issues too...
Me too😧
I will be purchasing that system next week! Ill let you know what i think when I get mine. 🙂
Thanks, if love to hear how you like it!
Hello, one way to go further is sing biodegradable tape, I seen these already, just a tip. 😉
Can you do a video on how you create your Kraft labels and print them 😊
Label design is not my strong suit, so I'm staying away from trying to teach something I ride the struggle-bus on🤣
@@EllenRuthSoap understood. Thank you for what you do post it’s great content
Get the shrink wrap system. It's so worth it. So many things you can shrink wrap. Save up
It's definitely on my wish list!
You could completely leave out all the pieces of plastic tape, and use the sticker as sealant.
Ellen, do you wait for the soap to cure completely before wrapping?
MaryAnn
Yes, I wait until they are cured to wrap.
Do you have to wait the full cure time before you wrap your soap?
yes, I wrap after the cure
Beautiful wrapping. I bought a second hand shrink wrap system and it works great, but the shrink wrap that came with it is really thick. Would you please tell me more about the biodegradable shrink wrap you speak of in this video. I cannot find it. Thank you so much. Have a great week.

Thanks for the video, I really love the color of the soap, can you y tell me what name is the color. I am a new soaper from Africa.

Hi, what size are those papers ? Great idea.
They're approx 8x11"
Online labels is great! I wrap my soap in tissue paper and use my ingredient label to tape it shut. I like the wraps you use but the color doesn't work for my business. Wonder if it comes in white....
I do think they come in white or unbleached natural.
Is that paper durable enough? Is it soft like tissue paper?
It's a bit sturdier than tissue paper.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you.
Is this kraft paper? Thank you!
It's thinner than kraft paper
@@EllenRuthSoap ok thank you.
Baking paper?
,,,,so beautfull packing,l would like to know how many papers there is in ecco tissue pacage,,
Thanks! 1000
Please can you post a link for the label laser printer you used
Yes, I added it to the description box. I use an Ink Jet printer.
Can you tell me what size the wrappers are? I can’t see the measurements.
They are approx 11x6"
Thank you! Just ordered items I need to start making soaps and I love this simple way to wrap.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰
I think it’s great it’s better to put more better ingredients in the soap than spend an enormous amount on fancy wrapping. At least my customers like it. I don’t have to charge as much on the soap bars.
Keep with the paper wrapping very eco friendly I'm not a fan of the shrinkwrap personally.
