Katie its Amina I'm 11 now. I so happy you made my soap im on my dads phone I love you

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Awww thank you so much for sending in your design, Amina! It’s beautiful! 💕💕💕

[@KatieANDgee]

I was hoping you will see it Amina!! Fab design!!

[@rachelgilbert3164]

My first reaction to the design was, "YESSSSS SHARKS!!!!" Great idea for a design, and I love that you included the ocean floor with poppy seeds. Very creative! Keep designing!

[@charlotteq8460]

Amina, that was a WONDERFUL design!!! You're so clever!!! It was super fun to watch Katie making it, too!! xxx

[@onwednesdayswewearpink2761]

I love your design Amina. The soap looks GREAT

[@nerdyluma]

I’m impressed with this childs spatial reasoning skills to come up with this 3D soap and the knowledge of the techniques to achieve the effects they wanted. Also wonderful job to Katie for making this a reality.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Absolutely, agreed!

I love how seriously you took this project. You never diminished the design because it was from a child. You treated Amina like your most important client. It says so much about your beautiful character and spirit. 💞

[@colleenwinter5899]

I definitely agree 👍 💯 😊

[@kaseymizener9205]

This kid needs to make soap! She clearly is trying to learn and memorize the techniques. This was so unique and the name is awesome! Congrats!

[@db336]

She really should. I make soap with my 7 year old daughter a lot. She comes up with our designs and they've turned out really good so far.

[@Kessik8]

kids are so creative and open to try new things, I think Amina did very well! I think you are right, she should try to make soap :D

[@LCHH]

For someone who is highly allergic to scented products I would absolutely adore it if Katie could make unscented versions of her scented soaps. Every month I see a gorgeous design and I so badly want to purchase it but know it will be an instant migraine waiting to happen. Anyway Katie I do love your soaps and hope one day to purchase an unscented design with soap frosting

[@kat-napzzz]

Great idea! I’m a big fan but have never bought a bar bc of my lung disease causing scent sensitivity.

[@LCHH]

@@kat-napzzz I think we need to find a way to bring this to Katie’s attention. Unintentionally, without her meaning to people with allergies are being singled out. I don’t think she is even aware of this to be honest

[@dgcclan9445]

Me too!!!

[@miriamtoliver3219]

Hear! Hear! We, the scent allergic and sensitive, Want pretty soap, Too! We are Small in number and stuck with boring (oh, so boring) soap.

[@LCHH]

@@miriamtoliver3219 I 100% agree with you! I want pretty soap and Boring soap although can feel nice is just that BORING! I want a gorgeous soap with Turtles or Flowers or even realistic soaps that look like Sushi for that matter! Anything with soap frosting would be heaven!

[@carrie9716]

Awwww the design is very cute ❤️ I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shark soap before! And the name is good! “Deadly waters” sounds like a soap for fancy pirates

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Ooooh yes!!

[@AngharadMac]

Yes "fantcy pirates"

[@buzzkillroza499]

So appropriate for a 10 year old 😆😆 I mean we've all watched "final destination" or "sharknado" type of movies when we were 10, haven't we? 😀😀

[@urfavejellyfish7958]

I want to get soap that makes me feel like a fancy pirate😆

[@LittleMissSatan]

Lush had shark soaps

[@bee_bch]

I love the way you take such care in sticking close to the design as you could just take inspiration and do what you want, but you make sure you honour lovely Amina, I hope she likes it as you’ve definitely done this justice!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Aww thank you!

[@rabbitlovesraven]

I think Katie needs to do one month of just fan designs, I think it would be fun to see what some of us come up with

[@hhholly]

Yes do more of this and maybe donate the batches to nursing homes

[@uglychncj7088]

@@hhholly wouldn’t it be better to donate them to homeless shelters?

@@uglychncj7088 No clue. There’s no homeless people here. 🤷‍♀️ My grandma just died in the nursing home. So, they would appreciate anything since a lot of them are family-less and in Hospice care.

[@scarletwinter9311]

I’m getting ready for bed here but I just have to say: I LOVE how much respect you showed Amina. I think a lot of creators take liberties when a younger artist is involved with the design, but you showed her respect in that you did the shark fin scrape, even went as far as to trace their exact shape and just made it smaller solely to fit. Nothing squanders creativity by being pushed aside and told your ideas are silly just because of your age.

[@xoxviolencexox7663]

You should have a whole segment on "Creating soaps designed by children"!!! I would absolutely tune in every episode! Make a template that would help them choose colors, scents (with disclaimers if it changes colors) patterns and pours, topping options and glitter choices. I think this would go absolutely wonderfully!

[@mikaylapinson3823]

Yay! I miss the fan designs

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Thank you so much!

[@animosity9197]

I totally agree with all the comments talking about how Katie working with Amina's design was so fun and respectful. Making your own designs and making other people's designs are almost two separate skills, and Katie clearly has them both! I loved the effort she went to to stay true to Amina's design. And what a great design! Good job, Amina!

[@alanam6539]

I'd be interested to see a vanilla brown based design where you really lean in to designing around the discoloration :)

[@FirstNameJuju]

it would be brown

[@chrissyboots5935]

It will definitely be beautiful

[@terrabelle9937]

Same. I'd prefer to have a good scent over an artistic design.

[@Amelia0dacutiegirl]

I think there was a raspberry truffle chocolate themed one that did that, if there isn't one, I think that would work gor a design! Vanilla, chocolate, and raspberry, with several shades of brown and red either swirls or raspberry embeds

[@muddigutz]

She could do something similar to the shark thing but with crocodiles or alligators so the brown water looks swampy

[@SeanStrife]

The in-the-pot swirl has a very Van Gogh-esque quality. Good call, Amina!

[@moldyhotdogs]

the design is so cute and creative! I love the use of poppy seeds to make the yellow part feel like sand. The kid has talent and I'm so glad you chose their design cause it's so cool! :D

[@RoyaltySoaps]

🥰🥰🥰

[@fania_mania]

I prefer my bars to smell good… but the colorful and detailed ones are amazing to look at 😍

[@RoyaltySoaps]

I hear ya!

[@erin9868]

That design is fantastic for anyone but especially for a 10 (now 11) year old. Id love to see more fan design soaps, as well as your take on fan designs. Maybe create their design as faithfully as you can and then do an inspired-by bar in your own style.

[@jordanbowling9482]

I've missed the fan design soaps! I love this so much! Now I want my 3 year old to draw me soap

[@RoyaltySoaps]

I’m so glad you like!

[@laurencutrone4057]

I absolutely love how respectful you were towards Amina and her soap design, Katie. You could've taken shortcuts or changed things up due to how much you know but you instead stuck as close as you could to the design to give Amina exactly what she wanted. It just warms my heart!

[@DeborahStephenson]

Love the design! I am an artist and I have a tip for you when you need a simple scrapper tool that will hold up better and make crisper edges than cardboard ... go to your local hardware store and buy a roll of aluminum flashing. You can cut it with scissors (old scissors!) to whatever shape you need. I know aluminum reacts with soap, but since it won't be used for very long, it may be okay. If not, cut out the design then spray it with a clear coat of polyurethane (Krylon brand works well); wait for it to dry (an hour is more than sufficient) and then use it. That way, the soap will not be coming into direct contact with the metal. As a substitute--if you have it--stencil plastic or something similar cut from old bleach bottles--will also work quite well.

[@katelillo1932]

I bet plastic milk jugs would work great for this as well 😊 now I wanna design a scraped soap 😂

[@DeborahStephenson]

@@katelillo1932 Yes, any similar plastic that is stiff enough to handle the pressure of pulling through thick soap batter will work. The nice thing about plastic is that soap doesn't stick to it so it's easy to clean AND you can reuse it!

[@thatlemonadeguy6742]

For someone who was 10 at the time, she really had a great notion of which colors blend well, how space works, and the techniques. I could probably never do something as good as her.

[@abbybrown638]

I love how everyone in the comments hyped this child up. Good job humanity in Katie's comments.

[@KatieANDgee]

Absolutely love this!! I would be sooo bloody excited if you were to do my design and I'm 36!! Must be amazing for Amina!! What a fab design as well girl!!

If I'm buying artisan soap, aesthetics matter a lot. I can buy a plain bar of soap that smells like whatever my preference is. But I LOVE the vibrant colors and art you get from a soap creation like this. Great design Amina! 🦈

Sitting at ER waiting for my oldest to get tests thank you for giving me a smile during my stress

[@MargoMB19]

Wow, I was concerned about how the shark fin was going to turn out but it looks so great! I'd definitely love to see more fan designs, I started watching this channel after you'd stopped doing that so much. QOTD: Design all the way!! I've already bought multiple soaps from you where I didn't really think I'd like the scent, it's the design that counts for me. Especially since, to me, these soaps are more about loving and displaying and seeing them all nice and pretty, I've only just started actually using the first ones I bought.

[@hellformichelle]

I can't imagine how happy Katie made this kid by doing their design. Idk, the thought of it is really sweet

[@ckind2098]

Watching this and seeing Amina's comment is just ridiculously precious 💙💛 I love the soap, it's so vibrant and fun!

[@Delicate_Disaster]

I love how careful she was to get the exact design. Amina must be so proud.

[@madelinehero4353]

Oooh, I have been hoping to see a monochrome in the pot swirl for a long time. I love how it turned out!

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

For soaps that are purely decorative, looks matter most. For soaps that are meant to be used, scent matters more than presentation.

[@julianagreyling125]

Even though it’s Christmas, I can’t help but think of Halloween of next year 😂✨ i think it would be really cool to have a Sleepy Hollow soap inspired by the iconic black and white pinstripe dress with red glitter on top. Just an idea and all of Royalty Soap’s Soaps are absolutely amazing!!!! 💕✨

[@AshCam-up2cf]

That swirl is amazing! I’m shocked that a 10yr old has such great taste and picked such great colors.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Indeed!!

[@Rose-jz6sx]

Ten year olds are pretty cool

[@chetta3482]

Katie, I admire the patience it may have taken to keep the integrity of Amina's soap. I know for a fact I would've used MP pieces or a shark finished tube. You taught me a lesson in humility with this video. ❤

[@imaniwilliams816]

Definitely more important to me that the soap smells good than its aesthetic though I do appreciate a pretty soap

[@ravenclawfairy3648]

This was so cute! ❤️ I really care about smell, because my sense of smell is super strong. I'm also really drawn to gorgeous designs. So I'll say both matter ❤️

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Thank you!!

[@xena91388]

I prefer if my soap smells good because as pretty as the soap is, no one outside my bathroom will see it. If the soap stinks I have to walk around with that smell the rest of the day. Ideally, the soap should be just as pretty as the scent so if vanilla turns the soap brown, I'd make a soap based around a brown color scheme. Can you imagine a vanilla/banana loaf soap made to look like quarantine banana bread!

[@inkadinkadoodle]

Re: Scent vs. Scenery I think, when it comes to soap (and candles), SCENT IS EVERYTHING! That's why folks buy them, so scent is #1! As for looks, though: I do strive for perfection in many of the things I make, but I don't shy away from imperfections! Many things I make thrive on the beauty of imperfection -- perfectly IMperfect, I guess! As long as the scent is good on a scented thing I make, it's got my approval. :)

[@beth4107]

this design is so cute! Amina did a great job and of course you did too! QOTD: scent always! i'm super sensitive to smells so a good smell is most important for sure

[@morigahn]

This is so sweet and an awesome design, especially when it's a 10 y/o! Very creative and it sounds so lovely!

[@melaniegavin459]

12 days of soap mas 2022- fan designs for all 12 days. Just an idea! Great job by Amina on the design. I like the bold colors with a great smell better than just a brown soap with a great smell.

[@gabbysanders409]

The swirl looks amazing, like the inside of a Paua shell 😍😍😍

[@butterflyminder]

I love the design - the little strip of yellow sea floor is just killer - and even more I love the serious care which Kaitie took in creating it, every step of the way. You did well by Amina, Duchess, and you both created a beautiful soap. (As for the QOTD: I'm pretty much all about the beautiful colours/intricate design. As long as it's pleasant I'm not really considering scent subtleties.)

[@irenedevisser5816]

It's so good! What an awesome design! I'm getting van gogh's stary night vibes with that ITP swirl!

[@tdmccoy1211]

The fan design soap videos is what drew me in! Love them!

[@missipenix]

I love when a bar smells good, but I'm allergic to so many fragrances that I tend to default to unscented (unfortunately :( ) and focus on the pretty!

[@blurthecolors885]

I do that too. I'm allergic to fragrance (as well as some other things that are common in handmade soap and just soap in general) so I tend to go for unscented or maybe lightly scented things. I love the way handmade soap looks but I can't use it.

[@callmegingersnap3809]

Honestly .. a month of viewer soaps would be awesome … or atleast once a month 🥰

[@embersparks13]

I love the fruity scents more than vanilla's so I get the best of both worlds. Bold color and a smell I love!

[@kezru1581]

That's so cute! Exactly like the design. The swirls look like paua shells 💙

[@PEveningale]

I love your videos and I just ADORE the way how careful you are when following the design, really trying your best so stick to it. Like with the shark fin, doing the little cardboard cutout, you even traced the fin from the drawing. That is such lovely dedication to your fans

[@reginaphalange4182]

I am blown away that a 10yo came up with that! I'm almost 40 and I couldn't possibly come up with anything that good. It's perfect!

[@angelofdusk13]

This is so cute, 10/10 would buy! And the directions are so clear and helpful, great job Amina! If you're interested in a future of design, I think you're destined for success!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

GREAT design Amina!! I really enjoyed watching Katie bring your ideas to life. I think Katie did such an amazing job, don’t you? Such a fun “summer holiday” design - I live in Australia and we are having hot summer beach days here already. I think that Sydney (Eastern Australia) will have a warm and sunny Christmas Day. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 I especially loved your design-drawings. Keep on being creative and 😆 happy Amina. Maybe you could save your beautiful drawings in a sketch book or a scrap book. I thought that the colors you chose for the water looked so beautiful together, and the yellow base with the poppy seeds, made it look like real sand. Those little seeds add the perfect amount of visual texture, brilliant idea. Thanks again Amina for sharing this design with Katie and with everyone else watching the fabulous, Royalty Soap KZbin Channel. Take care, eve 🐿🙂. P.s Oh, and a really BIG thank you to Amina’s dad for making his phone available. Go Dad👍

[@tacoteacher8501]

[@scubadoll5278]

Shark diver here, I would buy all of this soap! Never see much hand made shark inspired bath products.

[@denimvelvet4670]

I love the contrast the yellow bottom and the gray fin give to the swirling ocean. Really vibrant. Looks on a soap are great, but unless you're just keeping it as an art piece they aren't going to stand around for very long. I prefer my soap cleans well and smells good. Of course watching someone create beautiful soap is another topic entirely.

[@fikanera838]

I would love to see more fan designs! You followed this so faithfully! To answer the question of the day; I enjoy seeing bright-coloured designs in the videos, but I'm very sensitive to most scents, so only buy unscented soap. I do have one of your bars (the fairy stamped on a starry sky), but she's still wrapped up. I'm keeping her as an ornament.

[@Moocifer006]

I think the fact you chose her design and did it exactly to her little specifications was freaking AWESOME! I love sharks so I may be biased but love the design! Love your channel and how positive you are!

My #1 is the way the soap smells. But a bit of layering or swirl is nice. I sometimes don’t even want to use the really pretty soap. Because it’s more like art and I don’t wanna ruin it

You friggin nailed it!!! I’m ok with a gorgeous soap that doesn’t smell so sweet, as long as it’s pretty.

Hey Katie…You are the most amazing decorator!!! I have been following you all these years and making soap. I want to make a suggestion… can you make a super fluid Tie Dye 🌈 soap. “Thinking” only use primary colors and a pot swirl and allow to do its thing… add clouds ☁️, ☘️ and some kind of gold sparkle accents…for St. patty’s day! You will beat the crowd and this one would be awesome! Irish spring fragrance with a “hint” essence of a rose added. Not enough to quite know it’s rose.

[@FizyWater]

Katie: “I’m going to use this tiny spatula.” *it’s a small Popsicle stick* 😂😂 Edit: there has to be a brown design you can have a vanilla scent to! 🥰 even if it’s just like ombré stripes with like coffee grounds or something simple like that!

[@jfcarrier9352]

I would say that design matters most in the context of a youtube video of a fans design. Most of us don't work with those sents and don't know which will discolor, accelerate, etc.

[@HeatherHogue73]

For me, it’s more important that the soap look good! Scent is important, but I think you need both. I’ll work with what maybe isn’t the exact smell I want to make sure the soap looks good.

[@Deuteronomy-uw8ls]

Smell is more important. I get overwhelmed by scents easily. I love the colors and designs, but the scents have to be right or it's overwhelming.

[@joseyfetters985]

I love the design. Sharks are such an important part of the ocean ecosystem. Thank you for bringing awareness to them!

[@galasidan]

I can't handle a lot of "good smells" that people like. Almost all floral smells give me instant headaches. Whereas a lot of fruit and spices are fine. Like, from you I've gotten the great Gatsby soap and the champagne smell was fine, and the red sun rises soap is delicious and wonderful, but I've gotten a bunch of the sample soaps and almost all of them are headache inducing. So I don't pick up new bars very often, and when I do I carefully pick them by what kinds of smells and how strong, but I'm not gonna settle for a soap I don't like the look of, y'know? If I'm gonna get a nice thing for myself I'm gonna be picky.

[@frozenpiper2]

I'm the same way with the floral scents and hardly any spices. I can do some fruits, mainly citrus. I'm waiting for her to do a lemon scented soap so that I could purchase that.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

Floral scents tend to hurt my head too. Except lavender (is that floral?). The scents most easy going on my head are dessert scents and other other food scents.

[@galasidan]

@@TheSlipperyNUwUdle I feel like lavender they usually use the actual plant for the smell, whereas a lot of other florals are chemical recreation, maybe that's the difference, because most lavender is fine for me too (though it's not a smell I prefer)

[@Traditional_Soaping]

It's really meaningful to make a 10-year-old fan's design into soap! My heart feels warm!💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@skyydancer67]

I prefer my soaps to smell good as opposed to looking good in that sometimes, some colorants actually irritate my skin.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ahmadfaezuddin177]

For the question of the day, it depend on it use. If its for display or gift, design was more important. But if its just for personal use , smell was better. If its smell nice, a little discoloring was worth it.

[@ettaross8489]

OMG!!!!! The Scent definitely needs to be there !!!!! that's number 1# I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!

SMELL! SMELL IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I'm super scenery so the smell is my favourite thing, I personally adore watermelon (the artificial watermelon smell like in sweets) I can't get enough of it

I really like that you followed directions! Suggesters often have a vision in mind and too much ‘artist’s creative liberty’ could disappoint. Thank you!

That in the pot swirl is GORGEOUS 😍

Answering your question: I get migraines with certain smells, so while I love the pretty soaps I'm stuck window shopping those, and practical *very* lightly sented or non-sented soaps are what is safe. Thank you for letting me see them more upclose than I can ever get in person!

I love the small batch creative challenge videos! It's lovely to see what's for sale, but it's so super fun to see more of your creative process and to see you out of your comfort zone trying something different or new!
