Check out Soap Queen TV!

Okay, this is something cool for everybody! If you’ve ever wanted to dabble in soap-making, you’ll want to check out Soap Queen TV. It’s a 17-week series of free how-to videos by Anne-Marie Faiola. She’s the proprietress of Bramble Berry, which sells all kinds of soap and candle-making supplies.

The first episode just went live. It’s a little over five minutes, and packed with information on the difference between fragrance oils and essential oils, plus a basic melt-and-pour soap tutorial. It’s beautifully-produced and totally watchable.

(Up top there are two of the bars Anne-Marie will be making in future episodes.)

We’ll have a new episode each Thursday, and there are lots of interesting topics coming up – like, for example, Advanced Swirling Techniques (ooh!), Embedding Water Soluble Paper (ooh!), and Layered Soaps (ooooh!). Check out the full schedule over here.

You can see the videos at the Soap Queen blog, or this channel page on You Tube. Don’t miss ‘em!

Hi - nice to see you! If you're new here, give a clicky to the ol' subscribe button so we can stay in touch.

This looks like so much fun. I love the look of that soap! Making soap has been a fantasy of mine, but I’ve tried to make soap and I always sneeze like crazy and get headaches. What’s that about? I used to be able to smell things without spazzing out!

Maybe this isn’t a good comment…

I just finished watching Anne-Marie’s video. She does a great job with this tutorial. A wonderful introduction for anyone who wants to make Melt & Pour soap!
