A Love Affair with Burt's Bees
My journey with Burt's Bees began years ago, during my first pregnancy. I discovered their products through a product swapping website, Make Hubballi, and instantly fell in love with the quality and natural ingredients. The vitamin E oil became a staple in my skincare routine, and the baby range quickly became a favorite for my son.
The gentle, naturally-derived formulas of Burt's Bees Baby Bee products are perfect for sensitive skin. The Baby Bee Buttermilk Soap is particularly delightful; its creamy lather leaves skin feeling soft and clean without any harsh chemicals.
Crafting the Perfect Soap Bag
This project focuses on creating a charming little bag perfectly sized for a bar of Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Soap. The bag is made from beautiful patterned paper—available in pink or blue—offering a sophisticated yet practical way to store and present the soap.
The dimensions are carefully chosen to accommodate the soap snugly, allowing for a secure fit while also offering some flexibility for other small items if needed. The design is simple yet elegant, making it a delightful handmade gift.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin with a 12 x 7.5-inch piece of paper (30 x 19 cm). Score the long side at 5 and 7 inches (12.5 and 17.5 cm), and the short side at 2 and 5.5 inches (5 and 14 cm). These score lines are crucial for creating the folds that form the bag.
Carefully cut the paper to shape, making sure the cuts are straight and precise. Then, fold and glue the sides together, ensuring all edges are securely fastened. Take your time to ensure neatness and avoid any gaps.
Adding Decorative Touches
To personalize your soap bag, consider adding decorative elements such as stamps and die-cuts. A charming little stamp set featuring bears and bees complements the Burt's Bees theme perfectly.
Use embellishments that align with the overall aesthetic of the soap bag. Experiment with different colors and designs to create a truly unique and personalized gift. This step adds a touch of handmade charm.
