Money Saving Tips For Soap Makers and Cosmetic Crafters
The craft of making cosmetics and perfumes at home can be
expensive if you are not careful. However, there are many things
you can do to save money, while enjoying this great hobby. Here
are a few ideas:
Save money on containers that you use for your own personal
products by recycling the ones you have. To recycle glass or
plastic jars and bottles, wash them out with hot, soapy water or
run them through the dishwasher.
Reuse those small brown and blue glass bottles that you get when
you buy fragrance oils and essential oils. When you have
finished using up the contents, wash them out and use them to
store smaller quantities of essential oils or fragrance oils
when you purchase large quantities, or to store your perfume and
essential oil blends, or to store small quantities of cosmetic
products.
For inexpensive and unique cosmetic containers and baskets,
visit your local dollar store. I've found perfume bottles, sheer
organza bags, and gift baskets at the dollar stores in my home
town.
Inexpensive soap molds can be made from many things around your
house. Empty plastic food containers, muffin pans (if they are
aluminum use for melt and pour soap or rebatched soap, not
cold-process soap), plastic ice trays, or plastic storage
containers.
