Soap Packaging Idea Tutorial

I was so inspired with my last post, that I decided to make my own wrapped soap in paper tutorial. I can't do fancy things with Adobe photoshop, like merge picture into a collage, but I am really creative. I think you will all love this tread because I recycle paper, and a gift bag that you would normally not find any other uses for.
I took some 12x12 scrapbook paper folded it, and cut it in half.

I then placed the paper aside, and began to wrap my soap like you would a
present in wax paper. I tried wrapping the soap in paper without wax paper
and it was impossible. The scrapbook paper could not stay put without the
help of the wax paper to adhere to. Also the wax paper protects both the
soap, and wrapping paper from being damaged.

I then place the wax wrapped soap on the scrapbook paper
and begin to wrap it like you would a present.

Once finished it should look like this

Now this is were you get creative. You take a pick of whatever ribbon you
have, or go buy some really fancy stuff and begin to wrap it around the
soap. I like to use thick ribbon because it hides all the scotch tape,
creases and seams.

Once your done wrapping the ribbon around, secure it with
some tape, or glue. Then add a sticker for some added detail.

Here is another example that I did with a different
ribbon

Now this was a gift bag, with beautiful ribbon handles
that you saw earlier in one of my photos.

I simply took it a part at the seam, and spread it out like a sheet of
paper. I trimmed the excess parts that were already creased because they
could not be used. I used the same technique described earlier and wrapped
the soap. I also used the handles that were ribbon around the soap, and to
finish it off I used one of my sticker labels.

When you get creative the possibilities are endless. You can make many
looks just by changing the paper and ribbon, two things that are very simple
to do.

This one is a little bit cheesy, ha ha ha ha, but still
cute.

Feel free to pass this along, and share it with friends and post it on
your blog. Please link back to my site, and give me credit for the tutorial.
