Make It Month: Chai Tea Cybilla

Filed Under: Bramble Berry News

As the leaves turn colors and the weather gets colder, there is nothing better than bundling up with a warm cup of Chai Tea. Throughout October, Bramble Berry orders will receive a complementary half-ounce bottle of Chai Tea Cybilla Fragrance Oil. To celebrate this sweet and spicy fragrance, we’re encouraging you to use the sample to create a unique bath & body product as part of our Make It Month.

This month’s Sample Page project features Chai Tea Cybilla. Take a look at the Sample page to learn how to make your own Chai Tea Candle.

Chai Tea Cybilla is a wonderfully warm and comforting drink that has welcoming, familiar scent. You can use it in everything from melt and pour soap, cold process soap and even our Sample of the Month project — a wonderfully whipped candle! With its traditional Earl Grey Tea base and sweet notes of Vanilla and Nutmeg , this delightful and spicy fragrance is fantastic in fall soaps.

Be aware that this fragrance will discolor, so take that into account when you’re formulating your cold process recipes. To learn more about how to use the fragrance’s natural discoloration to your advantage, check out this FAQ blog post, ‘Why did my soap turn brown?’

Ready to show off your Make it Month creation? Check out the full details and helpful tips below: 

  • Your project needs to utilize the Chai Tea Cybilla Fragrance Oil. Cold process, melt and pour, lotions, scrubs, home crafts and all other bath & body projects are all welcome. 
  • Post photos of your creations on Bramble Berry’s Facebook page between now (October 7th) and October 30th. Entries submitted after October 30th will not appear in Facebook album.
  • Your entry MUST include the hashtag “#BrambleChai” in the photo caption. Without the hashtag #BrambleChai, your photo will not appear in our Facebook album (we use this hashtag to easily find the photos; the hashtag makes it possible for us to search for just those photos for the Make It Month).
  • You can make multiple projects, but we will only consider three photos per person.
  • We will post a collage of staff favorite projects on November 4th. We’ll base our choices on how unique and creative the item is.
  • We encourage everyone to participate, from veterans to newbies! All photos submitted before the deadline that include the hashtag #BrambleChai will appear in a Facebook album on the Bramble Berry Page.

This is an excellent way to show off your creations, and it’s a great source of inspiration for your upcoming holiday projects. In the past, we’ve hosted Make it Months with a variety of themes, including 4th Of July, Oatmeal Milk and Honey Cybilla Fragrance Oil and creative packaging.

To give you a few ideas, here are a few photos from a recent Make It: 4th of July challenge:

We’ve given you the instructions, and now it’s up to you to start crafting, creating and soaping. We can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with!

  2. So I just got one of my orders in and Oh Wow! Does this scent smell delicious. I can’t wait to use it. Only thing I’m stuck on is since its only a half an ounce are there any recipes for small batches of soap?

  3. Aww… I just got my order from BB today, and had seen the post about this sample, but didn’t get any sample in my order this time… maybe because it was shipped at the end of Sept.? Shoot, sorry I missed out on this one. Sounds nice.

    • Hi Jill!

      Did you check your grey packaging? Sometimes the little bottles get swallowed up by it, so be sure to check it before you throw it away. If you still can’t find your free sample, be sure to leave a note on your next order and we can pop in an extra one for you! 🙂

      • Hey Becky, you were right! I found the little bottle stuck in the grey foamy stuff. It was the “Holiday Candy” instead of Chi Tea though (it was Sept when I ordered) so I guess I’ll have to find something else to order this month… oh darn.. LOL! 🙂 Thank you!

  4. Hey! I’m a little stuck on designing labels for lip balm display boxes. Mine are from wholesale supplies plus. They are rectangular with an arch, that area is where I want to be put a label. However I don’t know what size or how to go about making a clean label for it. It’s not so much the design I have trouble with (I know what I want it to look like), but the shape. I’m not sure where I can get this shape of label or create one that is completely smooth (rather than me putting a circle label on top of a rectangular one) please help. Thank you!
