🧰 Materials You’ll Need

  • Transparent soap base or liquid handwash

  • Glycerin (for smooth texture)

  • Perfume or essential oil (for fragrance)

  • Food color (optional)

  • Thin paper sheets (butter paper or tissue paper)

  • Brush

  • Scissors

  • Container for drying


🧪 Step-by-Step Process

🥣 Step 1: Prepare Soap Solution

Mix the following in a small bowl:

  • 3 tablespoons of liquid handwash

  • 1 teaspoon of glycerin

  • A few drops of perfume

  • Optional: 1 drop of food color

Stir well until smooth.


🧻 Step 2: Coat the Paper

  • Lay your butter paper on a flat surface.

  • Dip a brush into the soap mix and apply a thin, even layer over the paper.

  • Let it dry completely (it may take 2–3 hours).


✂️ Step 3: Cut the Sheets

Once dry, cut the paper into small rectangles or circles (like mint strips).
You can store them in a small plastic or metal box.


🧴 Step 4: Test It

Take one sheet, dip it in water, and rub it between your palms — it should lather easily and dissolve quickly.


💰 Business Idea

You can make 50–100 paper soaps for under Rs. 300.
Sell small packs (10 sheets) for Rs. 80–150, especially:

  • In schools

  • Travel shops

  • Online platforms (Daraz, Instagram, etc.)

Expected Profit: 50% to 70% margin on small-scale production.


💡 Tips for Better Results

  • Add antibacterial essential oils like tea tree or lavender.

  • Use colored or patterned paper for an attractive look.

  • Print your brand logo on packaging for a professional touch.


🏁 Final Thought

Paper soap is a fun DIY craft and a smart small business for beginners.

It’s eco-friendly, low-cost, and easy to make at home — perfect for students, women entrepreneurs, and hobbyists.
