Katie, I'm honestly upset about how good this series is with the detailed instructions and options within them because now nothing is stopping me from starting soap making! Darn it, I have too many crafts at home already... But could you also do a mini series like this where you do just melt and pour designs and tell us about all the ins and outs of melt and pour and preferences of types and brands?
Same, grrl! So many crafts. Then I went & ordered a scale & lye & a mold that came with cutters. Now all I need is a dollar store trip... But my end goal is a milk & honey oat soap for my gosh danged sensitive skin no scents except essential oils, no colorants.
Agree! I dont wanna mess with lye yet so use melt and pour and would love for her to do a melt and pour series to show us the ins and outs of that if possible
"Some people want to start being really creative and customizing right out of the barrel." *looks at Mad Micas shopping basket, does shifty eyes* Way to call me out, Katie!
Haha! I'm torn. I want to be super creative right out the gate but then I like to guage my abilities based on the "teacher." I've just ordered and awaiting delivery! woot
Yeah, I've gotten fragrances I like, so I'm going pretty off script myself! 😂 but then again, I'm using the fragrances I have because I originally bought them for a family craft club my sister and mom and I do. We wanted to make bath and beauty crafts like bath bombs and melt and pour soap, but covid kinda threw that plan out the window so I'm just making cp soap with the fragrances and gifting the bars to friends and family, but them especially. These fragrances have a shelf life and I don't intend on wasting them!
I am Donna Brandon from Florien, Louisiana. I just love watching your soap making. I have been collecting all of the fhings to make soap, except the lye. By the way, i e.njoy watchiñg your husband and you working together!! I would rather watch your tútorials than anyone?!!
I FINALLY did it Katie. After more than a year worrying about whether I could do it, I did it. I’m not on Instagram but I’m so proud. Thank you for this series.
I am SO excited about this. I almost have everything I need 🥰 went to home depot yesterday and got a cuisinart stick blender and I'm waiting for the fragrances and colorants in the mail
You can start without colors and fragrance. A really good idea is to try small (5-8oz) batches to start. That way you aren’t wasting supplies if you don’t like it. It also allows you to play more with additives without wasting supplies. When doing small batches (or when you first start) it’s a good idea to whisk them so you can see (and feel) every step from emulsion to thick trace. Have fun!
@@mysticmaidensoaps2960 thank you so much! I definitely want to make some without fragrance 💕 thanks for the idea about the wisk! I will definitely do it as soon as my digital scale comes in the mail 🥰
I love this series!!! I’ve never been much of a crafty person, but seeing these has pushed me to try to make soap! I’m so thankful for your step by step instructions. I hope you keep this series going for a long time
It's amazing you are doing this!!!!! I think a lot of people would love to start making soap. Not so much for profit, but in my case, I wood love to be able to do it as a stress reliever and something really really cool to make for my loved ones. Believe it or not there's not a serious like this on RUclips and I absolutely love that you are taking the time to explain everything so intermediately. I swear, a couple years ago I had asked a soap maker on this platform if there was a series like this. A series that literally broke down everything in the beginning, broke down the products, the tools, the lingo, recipes, safeties and Hazards, everything and then helped you through the process. And of course, there wasn't. On top of the fact I can't think of a better person to give classes on soap making. Absolutely love your personality. It's like sitting down with an old friend you've known forever! Please keep the series going it's amazing!
Once people start tagging with their soaps, I'd love to see a vidoe showing other folks' interpretations of your designs. I love seeing how creative people can be with a recipe or a tutorial. And yes, I would be the kind to change things up right from the start!
Thank you so much for putting this whole series together! And for FREE! Incredibly generous! Your instructions are clear and you are setting us up for success! Thank you!
I may be binge watching all of your videos. Please know you are one of two channels I watch the ads for to support. Can’t wait until the next release day.
Could you pretty please do a video covering essential oil ratios and good blends? I’m really interested in soap making but I’m even more interested in all natural/organic soap making. I loved your spinach lavender soap bar, and would love to see more like it. 🤍😊 you’re very inspiring!!
I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and with this series I’ve finally decided to try it. Just ordered most of my supplies today and my step-daughter and I are very excited to make our own.
Best helpful hint for doing layers (which I discovered making rainbow soaps) - liberally spray the top of the layer you’ve poured, then go off to get the next colour ready. The alcohol helps to form a ‘skin’ on the top of the soap - making it easier to add the next layer. You still have to be gentle but I’ve found it made doing layers much easier. Love you Katie!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how safety conscious you are! The detailed, clear instructions and encouraging repetition was great. I'm not intending to make soap but it was a delight to learn anyway.
Katie we are so lucky to have you as a community. You selflessly give not only knowledge but your time and you take such joy in teaching that it is amazing to watch you work. Not only are you an amazing artist but you’re also giving and beautiful soul don’t let anybody ever tell you different. And once again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your self.
I am super excited to make my first batch! Am watching all the videos first before I even order products just to be 100% confident, but I'm already 99.999% confident thanks to Katie's amazing teaching skills and encouragement. I am so proud of you for doing this series, you are a natural!
Also, yes please, more tutorials! Everything I have done so far has been based on all your videos (and all your suggestions for books and other tutorials) but these are awesome. I know we all feel that way. Thank you so much!
deinfitely wait the 72 hours to unmold. i got excited and messed with mine after 48 hours and it was kind of cracking a little on the edges not wanted to unmold. I think it’s because of the soft oils being dominant:)
She is so amazing. After learning from Royalty soaps, I made my first bar and my own company! Thanks so much for all you do to pay it forward! Living with anxiety, I didn't think I could work with lye and feel safe, but she makes me feel so safe as long as I was careful, wearing safe gear, and thinking safely during the whole process!
@royalty soaps I've only discovered your videos in the past week and just wanted to say that I think you are absolutely adorable. You have such a magnetic personality and are just gorgeous. Thank you so much for your videos! Even my 5 years old sits in my lap when she sees I'm watching you and just chats and comments the whole way through. We love you!
Alrighty. I've watched all of the Royal Creative Academy videos, bought my stuff, and used my new knowledge with a Brambleberry kit that I bought previous to knowing the RCA existed. I adjusted all my measurements/recipe to fit my molds (ovals and a bird) and... it seized on me. I believe it was because I blended too long (I was afraid I didn't blend enough and kept going) and due to the very floral fragrance oil the kit included (I'm not a fan but it was all I had for my first batch). Now that I've messed this one up, I can go all in with the RCA supply list! I am excited! To everyone thinking of diving in, do it! Make that first batch! Make that first mistake! It will be fine and the next one will be better. :) I cannot wait to get my Mad Micas set and my ton of Costco olive oil. :D Thanks Katie! I commented on this one because 1) I watched right before making my first batch and 2) I want folks to know that it's ok to mess up and make ugly soap. Just be safe though!
I LOVE watching your videos. I won’t lie, I’m never going to make soap. But, I appreciate what goes into it now and happily fork over money for artisan made soap and candles.
I would love a video on you cleaning all of your soap containers/utensils, what soap you use, water temp. ect. Thank you for the Royal Creative Academy I hope to start making my own soaps soon!!!
I love these educational videos because they are fun. I get why people make educational videos just with telling people what do because it can be dangerous but your personality is so great it shines through. Soap making is fun and thats exactly what you make it. I have made a couple of batches before and it was you who inspired me to do it. My 2nd lot came outso much nicer than the 1st lot. Love all the videos thankyou x
I love this way of learning, even my brain can make sense of it. I'm still copying the Soap Making Terminology, got up to Humectant , so still aways to go, but i'm enjoying it. Can't wait to make them, quite far behind with the equipment etc, but i know where you are when i need you. Thank You Katie
Absolutely love this series! I’ve made CP soap years ago, long before stick blenders, tutorials on the Internet, swirls and mica! I had one book for instruction and that was it. So I’m starting over and discovered you and this fabulous series. I’m waiting for my scents to come and I should be all set to start!!! Thank you again! 💕
I have been making soap for 22 years. I love, love, love watching all your videos and have learned a few techniques I use now. Like waiting to mix up my next layer. Not blending it to soap on a stick status. Doing soap at room temps, that was scary at first. Its my Saturday tradition to sit and take a break and watch your videos. Keep going always love to learn more. I have taught a few classes for my friends and family. I had a delightful time teaching them and getting them hooked also. Last note my husband now uses scrappy, scrappy. To make me smile every single time. Thanks for your cheery disposition.
I've been binging your vids for a few days. Now I wanna make soap. Thing is, I've tried making soap in a small workshop once. The soap kept sweating and it didn't solidify, ended up moldy instead when I left it a few days. I was traumatized but your vids..makes me wanna try again.. :')
Katie! I am loving this series! I am so happy that you came up with his idea to do these classes and I appreciate your positive attitude and spirit to teach us soap making. Good job, Katie and Co!
Hi. I just started making soap abt 2 months ago. I read 3 books (2 by Ann Marie) and got started. I wasn't sure about adding fragrance. My first one I just kind of eye balled it. Now I know I put a bit much in it. My batches have been fair to pretty good (1 batch I deemed post worthy). I just came across your videos. THANK YOU for being so willing to share. I'm picking up on lots of little but important things from the first 4 videos. For example, I spent to much getting started, don't used glass for lye, toes in when mixing or handling lye, temps of lye & oils, etc. I'd been seeing other people's first soap and it put mine to shame. I think my next batch will be much much better. You answered so many questions. Again, Thank you!
Love your videos, love your tutorials, love you and all that you do! Whatever you put on RUclips I will be watching! Thanks. Hope you do something fun for your self today. ❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋💐💐💐
This is the second video you've Blue skadoo'd in. I assume this is an essential soap making skill. ;) Also, I'm an intermediate to advanced soap maker and I am following along with these tutorials and enjoying them thoroughly. ♡
I’m really watching all of these videos and taking notes. I really want to make soap and I am super excited to start on this journey! Thanks again royalty soap
Looking forward to making soap when the equipment arrives! Changed the micas and fragrances to the recipe as I live in the UK, so hopefully it works out well 🤞
I cannot even begin to tell you how much you inspire me and how your genuine enthusiasm to teach others and how you freely share your knowledge makes me so happy and so excited to learn. Your spirit just shines through and I love how excited you get and I never ever feel like you are talking down to those of us who are just starting out on our soap journey. I love your videos
I am so glad I found this series. No other video I have found told me how long to stick blend initially to get to trace. My last two batches were a tad thick so I just swirled.
Hi Katie! My name is Shannon. I LOVE your videos. They have been so helpful and inspiring. I am waiting on all of my supplies to start my soaping adventures. I already had a small business in mind and a name LLC. This has just given me the confidence and encouragement to do it!! Thank you!
Absolutely love this. You are advancing the generosity of the RUclips soaping community by offering this masterclass for free!! Thank you for setting the gold standard and spreading positivity every time. Much respect for you, Katie and team!
Katie, you are awesome I found you 2 weeks ago and watched a ton of videos. I am going to 1. Follow your videos to make the soap. 2. Order soap from you and if 1 works. 3. Make soap for Christmas gifts. Thanks for what you do.
Katy, I think you have done a wonderful job with these videos and it's so lovely to have this new 'up to date' basic soap making series, using sensible temperatures and techniques. I hope this series becomes the one that people get to referred to going forward when wanting info on basic soap making. I'll certainly be sending people here when they ask about making a basic soap.
Love the teaching... haven't tried making the soaps yet, but have been taking copious notes. It's great that when I'm ready, I can go back to your videos. Thank you so much for the detail. You've left nothing out. Great! Fantastic!
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Can't wait for more learning videos! As a beginner into the wonderful world of cold process soap making ! Your videos are priceless once again many thanks ❤️!
Again, these are so FABULOUS! I really can't thank you enough. One tip that works for me is going to second hand stores to find tools. It's eco-friendly (reuse!) and budget-friendly. Plus it's fun meandering around Sal Army with the kids! I got my crock pots there for $5 bucks each and they work beautifully.
Katie, these are fantastic! I truly do enjoy how you take the time to explain every little detail. It's extremely helpful. My 12 year old daughter has been following you for 3 years now. These videos will be instrumental in helping her grow in her soap making Passion. Thank you!!
You are an awesome instructor! Thank you for your time making these videos relatable to newbies like me. I am interested in learning as much as you would like to share. I'm getting ready to make soap # 2!!
I love watching her videos she's entertaining and I like that she actually talks in her videos and not just play music through the whole video
Annette Hefer true
Annette Hefer I agree completely! So entertaining even if I'm not making soap.
So true. When I come across a video where theres no talking, I tend to turn it off.
true
SI TRUE!
I will probably never make soap, but I will for sure never stop watching Royalty Soaps
Meh too
Me to
Katie, I'm honestly upset about how good this series is with the detailed instructions and options within them because now nothing is stopping me from starting soap making! Darn it, I have too many crafts at home already...
But could you also do a mini series like this where you do just melt and pour designs and tell us about all the ins and outs of melt and pour and preferences of types and brands?
Laura L i have the same feeling as you. I am holding back now.
Same
Same, grrl! So many crafts. Then I went & ordered a scale & lye & a mold that came with cutters. Now all I need is a dollar store trip... But my end goal is a milk & honey oat soap for my gosh danged sensitive skin no scents except essential oils, no colorants.
Agree! I dont wanna mess with lye yet so use melt and pour and would love for her to do a melt and pour series to show us the ins and outs of that if possible
I did the same thing! 😂 I have all my stuff and I’m just too nervous to start because I won’t be able to stop!!!
"Some people want to start being really creative and customizing right out of the barrel." *looks at Mad Micas shopping basket, does shifty eyes* Way to call me out, Katie!
Ikr! Me to the only difference is mine arent in the cart theyre on my dresser 🙈😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me looking at the Mad Micas site-MY GOD ITS FULL OF STARS
Haha! I'm torn. I want to be super creative right out the gate but then I like to guage my abilities based on the "teacher." I've just ordered and awaiting delivery! woot
I know, I had to back off just because my subtotal was a little insane.
Yeah, I've gotten fragrances I like, so I'm going pretty off script myself! 😂 but then again, I'm using the fragrances I have because I originally bought them for a family craft club my sister and mom and I do. We wanted to make bath and beauty crafts like bath bombs and melt and pour soap, but covid kinda threw that plan out the window so I'm just making cp soap with the fragrances and gifting the bars to friends and family, but them especially.

Can’t get that brand here in the uk and I really wanted the one Katie recommended
good luck!!
@@mysticmaidensoaps2960 thank you so much! I definitely want to make some without fragrance 💕 thanks for the idea about the wisk! I will definitely do it as soon as my digital scale comes in the mail 🥰
@@Domcas74 it doesnt matter about the brand they all work
I don't even want to make soap I'm just here for the pep talk!
Same here 😆
💯
Hahaha! Right? 😄
Sameeeee
I love her pep talks and how positive she is 😊
I will never make soap myself, but I love watching educational videos. It's the knowledge of how its done that makes me appreciate the outcome more!
Yay! Love this series. Thanks for everything you’re doing!
‘when this notification pops up as you’re watching older Royalty Soaps videos lol’
I need Katie to teach me EVERYTHING, not just soap related :P
Right?! I want her Mom to have a parenting channel!
I love this series!!! I’ve never been much of a crafty person, but seeing these has pushed me to try to make soap! I’m so thankful for your step by step instructions. I hope you keep this series going for a long time

You always have said you weren’t a great teacher, but giiiiiiirl you are a fabulous teacher and wonderful cheerleader!
I'm almost ready to make my soaps! I may live dangerously and do entirely different colors and fragrances, but I haven't decided yet.
Grace Lindsey you go girl 😀
I’m going to use different fragrances, too 😅
Good luck !!
What a rebel. You go girl.
I think Katie knows when I'm doing school work because this is the third time I'm doing work and she posted 😂😂 but these videos are amazing 😍.
I feel Kate is very positive and I can't wait to see her videos every day.
I did make soap .. feels so good
I've been checking my phone like a madman for your next class upload! I have my supplies on the way, can't wait to start!!!!
Once people start tagging with their soaps, I'd love to see a vidoe showing other folks' interpretations of your designs. I love seeing how creative people can be with a recipe or a tutorial. And yes, I would be the kind to change things up right from the start!
Thank you many times over for teaching us newbies to the world of soap making. Clear instructions is the mark of a true teacher. Love your soap!,
Katie, you are such a wonderful teacher!
Thank you so much for putting this whole series together! And for FREE! Incredibly generous! Your instructions are clear and you are setting us up for success! Thank you!
Enjoyed watching, thank you for the teaching
I may be binge watching all of your videos. Please know you are one of two channels I watch the ads for to support. Can’t wait until the next release day.
Yes yes yes!!!!! We want more teaching videos like this one !! 👍🏻😃
THANK YOU so much for making this series!! I’ve been sending folks your way! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Could you pretty please do a video covering essential oil ratios and good blends? I’m really interested in soap making but I’m even more interested in all natural/organic soap making. I loved your spinach lavender soap bar, and would love to see more like it. 🤍😊 you’re very inspiring!!

I love watching these videos, you are the Bob Ross of soap making. "No mistakes, just happy little accidents"
I'm obsessed with that mint julep color. I can't wait for my sample bundle to arrive in the mail.
I love how safety conscious you are! The detailed, clear instructions and encouraging repetition was great. I'm not intending to make soap but it was a delight to learn anyway.

I LOVE watching your videos. I won’t lie, I’m never going to make soap. But, I appreciate what goes into it now and happily fork over money for artisan made soap and candles.
I would love a video on you cleaning all of your soap containers/utensils, what soap you use, water temp. ect. Thank you for the Royal Creative Academy I hope to start making my own soaps soon!!!

I have been making soap for 5 years now (just a crafter) and I have learned more from watching this video series.
I've been binging your vids for a few days. Now I wanna make soap.
Thing is, I've tried making soap in a small workshop once. The soap kept sweating and it didn't solidify, ended up moldy instead when I left it a few days. I was traumatized but your vids..makes me wanna try again.. :')
It went moldy? With lye? Interesting.
Maybe the oils were bad or the oils and lye water werent incorporated enough and the oil started seeping out (the "sweating")
I made my first ever batch of soap yesterday, it was awesome! I'll be cutting the bars tonight 😊
Katie! I am loving this series! I am so happy that you came up with his idea to do these classes and I appreciate your positive attitude and spirit to teach us soap making. Good job, Katie and Co!
These pep talks are 10000% why I’m ordering everything tomorrow. I cannot wait. I’d definitely be down for more tutorial style videos

Katie, you are such a great teacher! I have learned so much from your generosity and so excited that your children have you as their mom.
OH GOD Katie, do you know you are the BEST?, your talk is enough to motivate me for soap making thank you for sharing :)
Love your videos, love your tutorials, love you and all that you do! Whatever you put on RUclips I will be watching! Thanks. Hope you do something fun for your self today. ❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋💐💐💐
When she did the spoon swirl, the green drops made a smiley face on the top 💗
Thank you so much. We beginners need you!
This is the second video you've Blue skadoo'd in. I assume this is an essential soap making skill. ;)
Also, I'm an intermediate to advanced soap maker and I am following along with these tutorials and enjoying them thoroughly. ♡
I’m really watching all of these videos and taking notes. I really want to make soap and I am super excited to start on this journey! Thanks again royalty soap
the royal upgrades and "containey" is the cutest thing haha
I will most likely never make soap, but I'm watching this series to appreciate the art more 💕 great job teaching, Katie!
May you be blessed for all the kindness and good that you have spread among the community 💕💕
Looking forward to making soap when the equipment arrives! Changed the micas and fragrances to the recipe as I live in the UK, so hopefully it works out well 🤞

Your spirit just shines through and I love how excited you get and I never ever feel like you are talking down to those of us who are just starting out on our soap journey. I love your videos
Yes please more tutorials, your teaching style is so positive and informative. Love watching your videos.
22:16 we need an updated series ❤ love all of this ! Ty
I am so glad I found this series. No other video I have found told me how long to stick blend initially to get to trace. My last two batches were a tad thick so I just swirled.
Katie, you‘re just lovely! Thank you for these wonderful lessons, pep talks and positive energy! 🤗
I can't wait to start creating, but alas I have yet to receive my colorants. I will definitely tag you when I post about my first soap.
I'm waiting too. They haven't shipped yet and it's been 6 days.
Hi Katie! My name is Shannon. I LOVE your videos. They have been so helpful and inspiring. I am waiting on all of my supplies to start my soaping adventures. I already had a small business in mind and a name LLC. This has just given me the confidence and encouragement to do it!! Thank you!
Absolutely love this. You are advancing the generosity of the RUclips soaping community by offering this masterclass for free!! Thank you for setting the gold standard and spreading positivity every time. Much respect for you, Katie and team!
These videos was just the extra push I needed to get started. I'm still getting my supplies together but I can not wait to make my first soap.
This is one of those videos I didn't know I needed until now. This is so relaxing! 😁😁😁
Katie, You’re amazing! I am making soaps for all of my dialysis patients. They tend to have super dry skin so these soaps are perfect.
You are an excellent teacher. I love your positive energy.
Best soap making video I've ever seen!
You’re a born teacher! Very easy to follow. So encouraging and uplifting. This is the way the world should be. Well done! 🌸💗
I am so happy you are doing this. U have shown me so much over the last few years.
I have totally enjoyed your video as I am embarking on soap make. Please continue to be as thorough as you are with each step.
Katie, you are awesome I found you 2 weeks ago and watched a ton of videos. I am going to 1. Follow your videos to make the soap. 2. Order soap from you and if 1 works. 3. Make soap for Christmas gifts. Thanks for what you do.
As a parent I instantly recognised the humming of Blues Clues and You at 15:04 😂
Lol my son is 19 and LOVED blues clues ... its classic
Like wise. 😂😂
I thought it was just my mind hearing that! My kids loved that show when they were small.
As a child at one point, I also recognized it xD
Katy, I think you have done a wonderful job with these videos and it's so lovely to have this new 'up to date' basic soap making series, using sensible temperatures and techniques. I hope this series becomes the one that people get to referred to going forward when wanting info on basic soap making. I'll certainly be sending people here when they ask about making a basic soap.
I love that her random humming/doodoo-ing 🎶 is Blues Clues Blue Skidoo song. ❤
Trinkets and doodads! Love the way you keep it real 🥰
Love the teaching... haven't tried making the soaps yet, but have been taking copious notes. It's great that when I'm ready, I can go back to your videos. Thank you so much for the detail. You've left nothing out. Great! Fantastic!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kathy!!!!!. I enjoy watching your videos and I improve my English too
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Can't wait for more learning videos!
As a beginner into the wonderful world of cold process soap making ! Your videos are priceless once again many thanks ❤️!
Again, these are so FABULOUS! I really can't thank you enough. One tip that works for me is going to second hand stores to find tools. It's eco-friendly (reuse!) and budget-friendly. Plus it's fun meandering around Sal Army with the kids! I got my crock pots there for $5 bucks each and they work beautifully.
You are the BEST Katie! Learning such great tips watching your videos. ♥
Katie, these are fantastic! I truly do enjoy how you take the time to explain every little detail. It's extremely helpful. My 12 year old daughter has been following you for 3 years now. These videos will be instrumental in helping her grow in her soap making Passion. Thank you!!
I LOVE this teaching series and definitely want more, please!
I live in Fort Worth. You’re so encouraging. Sometimes I wish I could have you drive over and encourage me while I’m making it lol
This is the earliest I’ve ever been able to watch one of your videos! I feel so on top of things Royalty Soap! ❤️
You are an awesome instructor! Thank you for your time making these videos relatable to newbies like me. I am interested in learning as much as you would like to share. I'm getting ready to make soap # 2!!
Your heart is so pure... your genuinely a great person. You deserve all of your success!
This is a beautiful beginners soap! I don’t think I would have thought this was a beginners soap! Awesome!! ❤️❤️
