I eventually want to start making handmade soaps to sell at local craft fairs and perhaps even online. However, with summer coming up, does anyone know some techniques to help so the soap won't melt in the heat? Also, what are the best ways to package the items? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure if you're making melt and pour soap or cold processed soap - but either won't melt in the heat - so no worries there.
With both types of soap, you do however, have to air them out (aka: cure) to ensure that any water/liquid added to the soap has evaporated - or the bars will "sweat" in the heat - with or without packaging.
Many people use handmade paper wrapped around the soaps - or handmade paper as cigar bands wrapped around the soap - or shrink wrap bags.
Don't forget to list all your ingredients on the soap labels - you never know what people can be allergic too, and the last thing you need is a whopping law suit ending your soaping career.

in case you pass to the lumberyard wayyyyy in the back they save old rotting lumber there, you're able to looking some particularly good products. no longer something beats the stench of rotting lumber whilst attempting to sell mutts. you will get a truckload of rotting planks for roughly 50 cents. Rusty nails could be present in maximum inner city playgrounds or torn down homes, so they are unfastened. so which you may have $13.50 left to spend on a clean outfit on the community thrift keep. denims and a flannel blouse will do, remember, the greater holes the greater helpful, play the sympathy card. savor your day Dingle!
