Soap As Favors

Soap is always a fun idea for a favor, especially for showers, since the from my shower to yours is such a cute saying. Full size handmade soaps as favors can add up, so I’d recommend looking for smaller bars, even “favor” size bars or reaching out to the maker for a custom favor size.

Dying Set-Up

To start I covered my tabletop with some wax paper. Then I have my glass bowl, my Rit Dye, and a baking sheet with a cookie rack on it that I only use for dying things, no food.

Rit Dye Formulas

I love starting my custom formulations with guidance from Rit Dye’s Color Formula page. All four of the shades I created I found from their guide. Sisal is a cotton fiber so I used the all-purpose formulas.

Using boiling water with salt and a little dish soap, I added just a little dye and mixed until I found the right shade. I tested the color by dipping a paper towel into the mix. You can always add more dye if it’s too light, if it’s too dark, add more boiling water.

Dip

I dipped the bags for about 10 seconds each, at an angle…

..and then let them dry overnight.

Print

I printed these tags on my Canon PIXMA TS9521C Crafting Printer, on cardstock from Paper Source. There are 8 tags per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet.

Cut

Cut out each tag along the line and punch a hole in the top. This is great to do while your bags dry!

Assemble

Since the bags already have a tie with a bead, I didn’t want to add any twine or ribbon so I sewed the tags onto the bags with clear thread.

The Perfect Shade

Between the cardstock and custom dip-dye color, you’ll easily be able to create a favor to match any style event!
