Ariane, please forgive me if I embarrass you, as I would never mean to do that. I just want to tell you, as a sister Canadian, (I am from northern Alberta) that YOU are the best soap maker on the internet. I have learned so very much more about soap making from you than anyone else. You are honest and humble about your God given skills, even when you are nervous about new things, you are strong in your determination, drawing on your experience and knowledge. Your English is very good and your French accent is loved by all your subscribers! We enjoy learning from you. Your advice is ‘spot on’! I am sure I speak for many, many viewers and I would just like to thank you for taking the time you do, to make, edit, plan and post all the informative videos for your audience. You never seem to get nervous and loose your train of thought (like we would). You’re a natural! God Bless you for being You, and sharing what you know, so that the wonderful old art of soap making endures through the years!😘

[@SeattleDonna206]

Ariane, your last statement is the most powerful of all. Be Patient! Making a batch of soap can be quick but that is only the beginning of a longer process of cleaning up, curing, making labels, getting shrink wrap- - -and more. You are very organized and I admire this about you. Children, partner, business, school, music - -you are one busy lady ! Thank you for taking the time to also make these video's !

[@ArianeArsenault]

Thank you. :-)

I’m so glad I found you! You give such great tips and are so organized

[@muhammadusmanafzal5244]

What is the recipe of this soap please?

[@muhammadusmanafzal5244]

@@ArianeArsenault whays the recipie of this soap?

[@michaelahcooper]

Why you don't use gloves when handling soaps that people are going to buy? If you cut your self or bleed, even your own bacteria from skin transfer is nasty, then from your hands I'm suppose to bathe with that. You do wonderful work, just the difference from big companies and homemade items, guess that's the risk. Wear a pair of doctors gloves. Not just when making the soap

[@angelr.5479]

I love your videos! Do you know you have a strong resemblance to a young Ally Sheedy, the actress

[@WickedWordzz]

She does, lol

[@GospelTruth37059]

sO FAR i LIKE YOUR SOAP CHANNEL THE BEST :)

[@mommahen5749]

Hi Ariane, I realize it has been 2 years since your video post but I buy shrink bands from Candora Soap Supplies in Ontario. If they don't sell the size you need perhaps they can order them for you. They are very helpful and lovely to deal with, always so kind and helpful, very fast service also. I purchase all my soaping supplies from Candora. Love your videos. Much thanks Darlene Nova Scotia

[@Misssha123]

Can you please tell me the dimensions of your soap? Love the size

[@laurawu5583]

Can you do a video about what you do with your soap scraps? Thank you!

[@williamguo7476]

wtf

[@ACS402010]

What do you mean, "WTF"? Clearly you know NOTHING about soaping, as anyone who does knows that there are uses for soap scraps. Ignorance is not a good look on you.

[@DatFabric]

She said she remelts it to French milled Soap? And uses it for her family or gives it to friends

Watching you from the Virgin Islands YOU ARE MY FAAAVOURITE SOAPER

Oh I love watching this. I just started my soap making and need ideas on wrapping. Great ideas.

Please provide links for your tools.. Thank you for sharing! You are very beautiful!

Lindos ,parabéns... pretendo tambem abri minha fabrica

[@B4BABIES]

Hi dear.. i have a doubt.. i heard that.. the soap using NAOH is chemical free after 30-45days.. is it true? If we use before that, is there any problem?

[@aliciak23]

do you find bramble berry is really expensive on the shipping, I'm in London ontario and I placed a 34.00 order and shipping was 65.00, so I didn't continue to finish my order

[@gabrielmullett7491]

alicia kerr that was probably for the better lol

[@tracynail4432]

I know places like that usually charge less for shipping the more you order

[@kathyleicester7306]

I've heard Candora Soap Supplies in Ontario are reputable, you might head there.

[@texturewalk]

There was a $50 shipping fee when I tried to purchase the safety glasses.... Totally not worth it...

[@jeanstevens6771]

Bramble berry is a rip off

[@oceangazer1]

I love it at the end, you said Yep, you gotta be patient...not easy lol Ty for sharing. :)

[@callyscraftycorner2463]

What dimensions are these soaps? I love the size.

[@innatuyeva2555]

Hi Ariane! I would like to thank you for all your great videos! Always watch them as inspiration, relax and challenge! (Even during the lunch hours at my work in the office :)). I would like to ask you what is the size of your soaps? I try to find an ideal size and adjust the molds. Bars at these video seem to fit hand perfectly. Thank you!

[@ArianeArsenault]

My soaps weigh between 120 to 140 grams each. I guess this would be around 4-5 oz.

[@MissAtalee]

Super technique, comme toujours :) Merci Ariane !

[@jag2770]

Personally, if I were buying your soap, I would like the sharp edges. It is satisfying to wash with a soap and be the one to smooth it out. I feel sorry you are wasting time smoothing your soap for people like me. PLUS, the buyer gets more soap when it's not shaved! ~JAG

[@HTMLguruLady2]

Great tip at the end about waiting since the soap shrinks

[@natismirnioti]

thank you Ariane for the helpful video!!!! :)

[@tealallshouse4412]

Hi There, Please tell the outer dimensions of your soap, they look like they fit nicely into your hand. Thank you, Teal

Hopefully you make a video of how you make your French Milled Soap someday.

[@bikerchick7954]

I just started. Soaping. Last week. I hope i get better. At doing it.

[@ralphparker]

I made my first batch this week (4/2/18).

[@dawnandrocky]

can you make a video on how you make your labels and a link to who you have print them?

[@lynnmorello7863]

Ariane uses Photoshop and prints her own labels.

[@CalicoKittydog334]

Hello! I love your videos they so educational and helpful. I understand you make your own labels would you be willing to share what software you use for creating them?? Thank you so much . 🙏🏼☺️

[@nicole-1855]

I just ordered the same exact beveler from etsy after watching this video! Thank you very much for the video! I'm not quite ready to sell my soaps yet, I need to get my small business license and a business name. I'm now testing the fragrances and perfecting my recipes. I have 1 honey/beeswax recipe so far where I use my own honey/beeswax from my beehives. I have shrink wraps on the way from Amazon, shipping was cheaper. I will be selling raw organic honey along with the soaps. Most likely I will sell locally here, at least when I start out. :)

[@jeannawalton8107]

I think that little tool works better than the wood one! Cool!

[@Diamond18116]

I know its called TRUE CHURCH KEY bottle or can opener I saw many bartender use them too

[@LanaGoesArt]

I know, this is an older video, but even if the bars were sent sent out to me f.e., I would prefer them with a band only and plastic free, just as the ones you have in your shop. :)

[@ArianeArsenault]

LanaGoesArt packaging soap is always a challenge. Some customers prefer cigar bands while others will be grossed out if there isn’t a full wrapping protecting the whole bar! 🤷‍♀️

[@LanaGoesArt]

@@ArianeArsenault I understand the dilemma you are in. It's a wonderful job you're doing. I just wanted to mention, that it's so wonderful to see soaps with the cigar bands only and without the full plastic wrap. :)

[@shraddhanathawat]

Hii Ariane, have been watching your vdos. And I love the way you explain each and every detail. I want to know how to use soap shavings that we get after trimming the edges

[@Christinegowland]

Bonjour Ariane, As for shrink bands, you could try Saffire Blue, they are located in Ontario and have great prices, really reasonable.

[@nycjp9022]

After cutting how long do you wait to shrink wrap your soap?

[@heatherwalden8803]

I was just wondering if you sell the soap and if you do do you have a book that has all the different soaps in it and how much they are I would be interested cuz I've been trying to get into the shampoo conditioner and bars to save on plastic

[@thatblokewiththescar7455]

It's a round over tool. Its used in woodworking to round over the edge of planed timber :)

[@shereemorgan1430]

You can also use a vegetable peeler.

How do you get your soaps into stores? Very beautiful soap

[@sapphireblue222]

I like your labels! Is it possible to shrink wrap the soap after the label has been put on?

[@ArianeArsenault]

Yes you can, but I prefer to shrink wrap the soap, then add the label after. This way, if the soap looses water over a longer drying time, I can always put a new wrapper that fits.

[@KyleenDrake]

I don't like plastic. World uses too much of it.

[@nitwit79]

Nice and beautiful looking bars in nice wrap. I would like to challenge you to visit in South East Asia and go any public beach or shore line to see if you are able to find any spot without huge amount of plastic. In developed countries same plastic is found from a dump, but is it better? What most people doest known, this same plastic is flowing in different layers, also below sea level along ocean current, and later when the plastic decompose different chemicals little by little, fishes are fooled to believe that those small plastic pellets are plankton, so fishes are eating plastic, but who are eating fish? I hope anybody can share a link to a cost efficient and environment friendly way to wrap any products, specially in a products in (personal) hygiene category.

[@vivianetatga6566]

Salut merci pour ce que vous faites en francais celà m'arrangerai

[@kathycadile6421]

Your labels are so pretty. I love the boats and pics of family, makes it so personal. I would have never thought of doing that. Are all your soaps basically the same size or do you have to customize all your labels. I really want to make a label that is more personal like that. Gave me some ideas. Your videos are always a pleasure.

[@dirtygirlbathbody7665]

have you tried putting your label around the soap first and then put on your shrink wrap bank? If they fit, it may save you the time in taping the label... Just a thought, I am sure you have already tried it though. Love your videos!!!!! you are always uplifting to watch.

[@sparkymahoney4343]

Ariane, check out Uline, they have all sorts of packaging stuff - cello wrap, etc. Also in Vancouver there's Essential Packaging which do wholesale and custom stuff as well. And forget tape, get yourself a Glue Dots dispenser you'll seriously thank me for that.

SO, my 8-year-old daughter and I have been watching a lot of your videos and she wants us to try making some soaps and I was wondering after watching to tour of your shop, is there a market for homemade natural soaps? What do you typically charge per bar of soap? Thank you very much and we have really enjoyed your videos.

[@RestingBitchface7]

Your hand tool is called a soap edger. I love those things!
