Soap Making and More at Let’s Make it (Richmond Hill)

Masterpieces from Soap Making and More Class @ Let's Make It

DD#1 and I signed up for the Soap Making and More Class at Let’s Make it in Richmond Hill. It was a wonderful 1.5 hour class where we made soap, bath bombs, lip balm and body scrub! We got to take them all home at the end of the workshop!

Catherine was a great host and instructor, giving not only step by step instruction but also a few tips and trivia.

We chose from natural fragrances and scented oils to make our soap. These were mixed with a plant-based soap base which we poured and stirred into a mold. These were put in the freezer and were ready by the time the workshop was done. It was fun to mix and match scents and pick a colour for the soap.

Next, we made some bath bombs. After mixing scents and colours, we were given a base of citric acid mix and avocado oil. We prepared a mold by sprinkling botanicals or dried flowers into the bottom (there was a selection of lavender buds, rose petals and orange blossoms). Then, we combined the scented, coloured mix and pressed into a mold. After getting these out of the mold, we were provided with nice packaging to put the bath bombs into. Such a lovely package and would make for a cute gift!

Then, we made some body scrubs using the botanicals and essential oils mixed with Dead Sea Salt. We packaged it in a small jar and decorated our labels. By now, we were quite relaxed and in a highly positive mood from smelling all the essential oils! But we still had one more project to make—Lip Balm.

For the lip balm, we used flavours instead of scents and we had a choice of chocolate, cherry or strawberry. You can mix and match or use all flavours like what DD#1 did. She claims her lip balm tastes awesome! We poured the flavours into a lip balm tube then poured some melted wax/oil mix. We stirred it and sealed it (DD#1 shook hers). Done.

Four projects and we had our masterpieces to bring home! We couldn’t wait to get into the shower to use our soaps! It was a wonderful workshop which DD#1 and I enjoyed immensely. Highly recommended. Oh and they also do events and parties!
