I was going to say, when she was talking about the lids being helpful I was thinking ‘hey isn’t cardboard not air tight?’ It’s porous, if it gets wet, things seep through eventually
The entire little thing of Katie talking to herself/us about how it was ok that she didn't do a perfect job and with her acknowledging her strengths and weaknesses in a healthy or positive way made my night. I just finished a really hard lab report that I had been crying about the night before and now here she is, being so okay with failure and so ok with acknowledging the fact that she could and would grow as a soap maker and it feels like shes talking to me. It feels like she's telling me that I can mess up and still be fine. It just made me really happy. 9:25 to 10:17
Hey, your lab report will never be perfect, and that's ok. Take it from a fellow scientist - there will always be flaws. We do the best that we can with the tools that we can, and you emotionally murdering yourself over it does nothing good for you or your science.
OMG! Thank you so much 🙈 I really appreciate all your kind words! I have noticed that the color does indeed affect the texture of the soap; reds/oranges cause a more soft, pliable result. Side note: If it's crumbly when you start to knead it it should be fine. Continue mashing it as much as you can, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and give it a few more hours to over night - it will soften up or at least it does for me 😄 I absolutely LOVE the soap you made!! Gorgeous!
My thought exactly. I suspect if everything was in glass and covered, they would have been more consistent to handle. Boy was the finished product adorable! The sculpting gets a lot faster with practice :)
Yes, the paper cup storage was a big issue, and I’m sure all colorants could behave differently, but I’m surprised no one mentioned that she also used popsicle sticks to mix the smaller ones and the stick blender for the big ones. That could have accelerated trace and contributed to it as well...
Sculpture idea for soap clay: is it possible to get it thin enough to mould like a sugar rose out of it? Then you could do like a beauty and the beast inspired soap
not really. more like those fondant or sugar paste roses that used to be fashionable for wedding cakes. you could suspend it in melt and pour within a Bell jar shaped mould it probably couldn't be bars but it would look pretty cool
I do a motion like you're snapping and rub the clay between your finger and your thumb. It will spread out and you just curl that around and keep doing that adding petals. Done it many of times with clay not so much with soap , though it does work
I would love to one month see you, Kenny, and shelly, the soapers and master embed maker, face off in making something using soap clay. Like you all have the same reference and theme. But can make whatever you want. Just for fun
I just made some recently too, and put them in individual cavity silicone molds with covered with plastic wrap and then transfered to ziploc baggies. All of my colors turned out to be different consistencies too. Surprising the red color was one of the best, just like yours. Yellow was sticky and hard to work with, too!
Ophelia’s Soapery I've been wanting to make it too. I don't think my hands would hold up to piping like you and Katy do. Maybe I can try to make some and get my older child (she's 17) to create something with it. I'll definitely be there in awe of you as well if you make a video of this soon.
Alright, you got me. My boyfriend has been requesting an under the sea soap for MONTHS and this looks like an amazing technique to get all the parts I wanted to include. You Rock Katie!!!
When I make my soap dough, I place the saran wrap directly on the top of the dough so there is no air gap between the top of the dough and the rim of the container.
I'm not into soap making myself but love watching you and your results. While I'm watching you, in my head I'm actually thinking polymer clay and resin! Lol I sculpt with polymer clay and just starting to use resin. I love how positive you are even when you think you didn't do great because there is no such thing as failure! Their learning steps! If something doesn't work then way one feels it should, take a step back, think about what you did then think about ways to improve and make it better! I feel that applies to ANYTHING in life that we may come across. I'll be sure to try this with p polymer clay and resin! I think your soap turned out beautifully!
Hey Katie. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy you sharing videos of you trying new things and learning as you go. It's the main reason I love your channel so much. You are not afraid of making mistakes and learning from them and sharing the process and it makes you so relatable. I really appreciate you ❤
Katie, I just love watching these with my 4 kids and being able to say, "Look at how she is being so patient with herself when she makes a mistake". Thanks for making that perfect teaching moment available!!
Hi Katie-I loved that you showed us something different in soap making and the obstacles you faced along the way . It turned out so pretty. We have seen many versions of your mixing different colours with matching soap decorations either high top or low top but now you have been branching out with other soap ideas. I love it and it shows new possibilities in soap making. Thank you so much!
Seeing the thumbnail: “Maybe I can do that!” Watching her make the soap clay: “lol That’s so much work and looks so expensive” Watching her make and assemble her masterpiece: “I was such a FOOL thinking I could do this”
Soap flower bouquet!! Have you seen them Katie? I saw some beautiful ones on goodsey in a box that you set on the counter as decoration & use individual petals to wash your hands or put flower petals in your bath. So beautiful! Since then I've googled them & I'm shook! Never knew they existed.
Do not ever say you are not talented!! That soap is super cute! You have a great mind fit imaging how things should go together. Thanks for sharing! You ROCK this soap stuff!
THAT IS SO ADORABLE!!!! Wow!!! FYI... you are ‘that person who’s so talented that after you watch their videos and see their soap you’re like huh... well... I am a little kid 🤣🤣’ More sculpting!! That was fun to watch!
These videos have always helped to calm me down when im having a panic attack. Your voice is so soothing in a non sleepy way 😂 i love it and it makes me feel like a kid again like I’m at camp doing crafts with a cool counselor or a cool baby sitter
I find every batch is so different and every mica or colorant is definitely different too. I put mine in baggies and let them sit if crumbly. If sticky I let it sit out a few minutes and then try again. Super cute soap! 😁
Wow I just love this ❤️ I've been crafting in micro for a while, and this makes me want to combine making soap more than ever. You have such a creative mind. Thank you for always putting yourself out there how you do ❤️❤️❤️
Katie this is amazing! You should definitely look up making fondant flowers tutorials to make out of soap dough and encase some beautiful springtime flowers in the clear soap! That would be so beautiful! Sorta like a raindrop cake!
I usually use plastic cups for each color for soap dough and as soon as I pour them I put into a ziploc bag. It seems to work very well every time. Keeping the moisture in is super important. I have noticed some colors tend to make better dough though. Your koi soap turned out amazing! 😍
I have a Marie that is just like her namesake. Her mom was actually named Duchess too. Our Marie is a cranky little old lady (17 in May) now but we adore her
That soap was gorgeous! Worth the hardwork! I have no doubt that in no time you will be confident doing soap sculpting... 😊 😊 And on a side note, what is the song on the background?! I liked it a lot!
Katie: "I'm not very good at this".... creates most adorable soap bar I've seen! great work, definitely a labor of love. I would love to see you keep trying the soap clay : )
KATIE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING ALL YOUR PRODUCTS VEGAN AND ECO FRIENDLY. YOU ARE AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS AND THIS JUST MAKES YOU 100000X MORE AMAZING!!! 😄
Katie. Great job on the soap. Love that you did this. Your observations are exactly what I would be wondering. Thank you for doing this. I’ve been interested in this soap dough to try. ♥️♥️♥️
This is the soap my dad and my sisters will love. I will send a link to your video to them as soon as I've watched this. Thank you, Katie! You did an awesome job! Hugs from Norway.
O...M...G... It's like you designed this soap just for me! I LOVE Koi fish. We used to have a koi pond in our backyard, I miss that house! I don't think I could make such a pretty soap if you gave me a week! Just lovely!
Look at the paper cups. You can see oil absorbed into the paper taking away part of the oils. The koi is adorable.
You're right
Well I think it is because she mixed the smaller ones by hand after adding the colors. The bigger ones she used a blender
Also maybe bc the larger ones were covered by plastic wrap and not an actual lid? Idk
I was going to say, when she was talking about the lids being helpful I was thinking ‘hey isn’t cardboard not air tight?’
It’s porous, if it gets wet, things seep through eventually
@@ravenblue exactly what i think

I'm so sensitive rn, you made me cry lmao this is so sweet

It’s called growth mindset and if you practice it, life begins to feel more positive. I’m glad you were able to find the video in time!
I know this comment is pretty old now but I just woke up and im teary from how wholesome this community is
How did your report go? 5 months later!!
OMG! Thank you so much 🙈 I really appreciate all your kind words! I have noticed that the color does indeed affect the texture of the soap; reds/oranges cause a more soft, pliable result.

I suspect the paper cups absorbed some of your water or oils and dried the dough out ☹️
My thought exactly. I suspect if everything was in glass and covered, they would have been more consistent to handle.
Boy was the finished product adorable! The sculpting gets a lot faster with practice :)
Paper cups are also MUCH more porous. Ever left a piece of bread (or bagel, or donut) in a paper bag too long? It dries out and gets hard.
I was going to suggest exactly this. That is probably the case.
I know nothing about soap making, but this was my first thought, the paper vs plastic.
Samesies
Sees the clear soap getting poured in:
My brain: ah yes resin
My brain: wait
Yip exactly the same reaction lol
Soap is bubbly resin 🤣
ah yes too many katelyn and ethan videos
@@tac0_6 Evan and Katelyn?
@@ayeeeeebitch 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣I was about to say the same thing😂🤣😂🤣
Katie: "I am a child coloring with crayola paint"
Also Katie: * proceeds to create a soap masterpiece *
Right? Silly lady she's an amazing artist in her own right! But we are our own worst critic
She has been practcing
Her mom strikes me as an artsy lady. I wonder if she taught Katie some things.
Ikr?
It looks amazing I’ll give it a 10 star rating it looks real good
Is it the paper from the cups making the dough hard? it might be absorbing some water...
Paper cups are also semi porous so it wouldn't be as air tight as a plastic container.
Kira MPD that’s what I was thinking too there was probably much more air exposure which hardened the soap a bit compared to the plastic containers
@@Nellyc1 Yup same here, I think those paper cups with imperfectly sealed plastic wrap are allowing way too much airflow.
I was going to comment the same. That would be my theory, at least.
My thought as well.
Yes, the paper cup storage was a big issue, and I’m sure all colorants could behave differently, but I’m surprised no one mentioned that she also used popsicle sticks to mix the smaller ones and the stick blender for the big ones. That could have accelerated trace and contributed to it as well...
What????
oh, ur right
Sculpture idea for soap clay: is it possible to get it thin enough to mould like a sugar rose out of it? Then you could do like a beauty and the beast inspired soap
You can make flowers out of the piping soap like you would from frosting on top of cakes. Kind of like that?
Yep use a pasta roller
not really. more like those fondant or sugar paste roses that used to be fashionable for wedding cakes. you could suspend it in melt and pour within a Bell jar shaped mould it probably couldn't be bars but it would look pretty cool
You could... here are some soap dough flowers.

Great idea! I can only imagine what Kenny would do, espcially!
Would love to see that!!
Like "chopped" but the soap version
Love this
What a fun idea!
I find it’s from the different micas also the containers do make a difference. I make mine in shallow dishes.
I. Knew. It. lol
I just made some recently too, and put them in individual cavity silicone molds with covered with plastic wrap and then transfered to ziploc baggies. All of my colors turned out to be different consistencies too. Surprising the red color was one of the best, just like yours. Yellow was sticky and hard to work with, too!
I really love how you support and gush about other creators. Its a breath of fresh air in this “call out” culture.
I’ve always wanted to work with soap dough. I need to just doooooo it.
It really is one of those things you have to just plop yourself down and commit to. I had been procrastinating for months and it took FOREVER. XD
It came out soooo cute!!!! Yes! MAKE MORE 😬
@@RoyaltySoaps yes! Keep sculpting. Can't get better if you don't practice and wow that fish is worth the 45 minute struggle lol
Me too! Need to get some other soap skills mastered first, this is something to look forward to!
Ophelia’s Soapery I've been wanting to make it too. I don't think my hands would hold up to piping like you and Katy do. Maybe I can try to make some and get my older child (she's 17) to create something with it. I'll definitely be there in awe of you as well if you make a video of this soon.

during quarantine i have come across soap youtube and you're my favourite
It’s amazing how calming and relaxing it is to watch
PLEASE do the Jenna marbles Hand soap I'm literally begging you. When I watched her vid I immediately thought of u
MOOD! I think I actually commented on the video about that lol I would love to see Katie's take on that lol
D u w a n g

What a positive and beautiful channel to discover in times like these. 🥰 Thank you for being so sweet
I love how dorky and original You are, it’s so refreshing in a world of ‘influencers’ to have someone so original 😍💕

Watching her make the soap clay: “lol That’s so much work and looks so expensive”

You are so insanely talented. Wow. Your videos have been very therapeutic. Keep up the great work.

I love when fish are encased in soap or candles and things especially orb ones lol my mind
//FULL ON SQUEALING OVER HERE// Omg, your little fish and is koi pond were SO CUTE!!!! This inspires me SO MUCH!! 💙💙💙💙
THAT IS SO ADORABLE!!!! Wow!!!
FYI... you are ‘that person who’s so talented that after you watch their videos and see their soap you’re like huh... well... I am a little kid 🤣🤣’
More sculpting!! That was fun to watch!
I love that Katie shoutouts other artists and encourages her subscribers to check out their channel
These videos have always helped to calm me down when im having a panic attack. Your voice is so soothing in a non sleepy way 😂 i love it and it makes me feel like a kid again like I’m at camp doing crafts with a cool counselor or a cool baby sitter
She did such amazing job with the Koi Fish Pond soap bar. So pretty. I definitely want!
It's so beautiful, I think you really should do this more often.
So nice to see someone be humble and hilarious at the same time. Blessings
This is an unbelievably beautiful bar of soap.
I really liked the multi-dimensional aspects of the different embeds and bits inside the clear soap! It was really really neat 😊
That is just too stinking cute!!! Love it, but I can see how that would be very time consuming.
Love the way you compliment other soap artists. The kindness oozes from your pores, it must be in the magic of your soap! 😜👑
This has got to be my favorite soap so far! So much detail. Beautiful!!
That Koi fish is really cute, and the layers of lily pads are awesome. It is a really cool 3 dimensional look that is still flat. Great job.
That was so cute! I thought there got a moment that the fish was plastic- it was too real and awesome! Thanks for sharing, Duchess!! 👑🧼
I love her soap dough creations. I hope she gets more fans because her work is amazing!!
This is amazing! It looks like one of those Resin creations you currently see everywhere! I love this.
Love how she always tells us about other soap channels and to check them out. No hate just love on her channel ❤️❤️
I find every batch is so different and every mica or colorant is definitely different too. I put mine in baggies and let them sit if crumbly. If sticky I let it sit out a few minutes and then try again.
Super cute soap! 😁
Wow!!! I'd love to see you do more of these, this is amazing! Great job
Wow I just love this ❤️ I've been crafting in micro for a while, and this makes me want to combine making soap more than ever. You have such a creative mind. Thank you for always putting yourself out there how you do ❤️❤️❤️
OMG. Thats freaking beautiful. Jaw dropped. Like, i would never EVER wash my hands with that piece of art.
Me, an amateur soap maker, watching Katie on Royalty Soaps: 1:02
This is gorgeous! I would love to see you do more of these!
OOOooo! Katie! You could make soap clay turtles! Little folks would love them and those are pretty easy to sculpt.
You are so talented and spread so much joy. Thank you!
Katie: I'm not good at soap clay
*Proceeds to make a gorgeous soap bar*
Katie this is amazing! You should definitely look up making fondant flowers tutorials to make out of soap dough and encase some beautiful springtime flowers in the clear soap! That would be so beautiful! Sorta like a raindrop cake!

You just said Duchess of suds and I just said out loud for no reason “kittens!” “Dutches, Kittens!” Where is my mind not on soap I guess
This! One of my all time favorite movies!
Love this movie! It's so underrated
It’s the best! Watching it as an adult has made it so much more adorable!
Lol! I thought that also
I have a Marie that is just like her namesake. Her mom was actually named Duchess too. Our Marie is a cranky little old lady (17 in May) now but we adore her
This little pond soap is so adorable! And you are so cheerful. I love watching your videos and I know nothing about soaps.

could the cardboard be absorbing some of the moisture?
You are so much fun to watch! I’m glad I happened upon your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Katie. Great job on the soap. Love that you did this. Your observations are exactly what I would be wondering. Thank you for doing this. I’ve been interested in this soap dough to try. ♥️♥️♥️
Katie does everyone that works with Royalty Soaps have their title yet?
That is honestly very beautiful! Please do sculpt more!!
Never been this early for a video but this soap looks gorgeous
Larianne ROCKS! We love Pink Dhalia! You did awesome! That Koi totally looks real🤩 And those lilypads and flowers look PRESH!!👌🏼😍
Have you showed us your soap room yet? I really want to see it
✨✨✨ *IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!* ✨✨✨
Beautiful , so happy to get this notification
You're the best! Thanks for watching!!
First place 🏆 this video goes to you!
This is the soap my dad and my sisters will love. I will send a link to your video to them as soon as I've watched this. Thank you, Katie! You did an awesome job! Hugs from Norway.
Thank you so much, I hope they enjoy too!
I’ve never been so early! Love your vids! ❤️
That is soooo cool!
I made soap dough 10 times.. And it only worked out fine once 😂😂😂
What a beautiful piece of art. Yall never disappoint.
Not first but I’m here early 😂
This is amazing! It was really wonderful to just watch your hands sculpt everything with the nice music! Really great job!
I feel like I haven't seen Kenny in a while. Is he okay?
sorta dramatic, he might be somewhere else, because of covid
I totally want to see more sculpting. That was beautiful
Yes! More soap sculptures. Please!
It looks so lovely, especially that koi fish was so well made. And the lily pads too
I am so glad you like Pink Dahlia, she is so amazing.
More soap clay/ dough sculpting!!! Yes please, bravo!
This was so satisfying!!!!!!! Yes please sculpt more!
The last soap pour was so satisfying!
I think you should do more like that one. It's gorgeous!
This soap is too pretty to use! I think I'd set it in a dish on the counter for decor. That little koi is adorable!
Despite the difficulties making the dough, the koi pond soap turned out fantastic. Well done!
I LOVE that layered effect
Oh my gosh!! So pretty! It’s so intricate and time intensive... that kind of stuff relaxes me.
I love how it turned out.
WOW!!! THAT SOAP IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍😍💯💯💯
O...M...G... It's like you designed this soap just for me! I LOVE Koi fish. We used to have a koi pond in our backyard, I miss that house! I don't think I could make such a pretty soap if you gave me a week! Just lovely!
I love how her shirt color (lilac), matching Pink’s ref video.
One of your best works boo! Keep being amazing and doing what you love!
