Free Craft Projects - Soap Gifts
This is such a sweet and thoughtful gift because it is homemade and can match
any bath decor.
Materials: paper doilies; ribbon; Soap coloring; glycerin soap (clear and unscented);
soap molds (you may use milk cartons or cans); Miscellaneous: Toothpicks, microwave oven, measuring
cup, knife, spray vegetable oil, cutting block.
Instructions:
1. Spray the molds you intend to use lightly with
vegetable oil.
2. Cut the glycerin into 1" cubes with a sharp
knife.
3. Fill 1 cup measuring cup with cubes and microwave on
high until cubes are melted. Note: This normally takes about 1 minute but
microwave ovens may vary.
4. Pour the melted glycerin into the molds, cartons or
tin cans you have chosen.
5. Use one drop of soap coloring (color of choice) and
swirl in the glycerin until color desired has been achieved. You can also swirl
just enough to create a marbleized effect.
6. Let the soap bars cool for a half hour or more, then
turn mold onto waxed paper to release soap. If using milk cartons, simply cut
away the cardboard with scissors to release the soap. If using tin cans, use a
can opener to remove the bottom of the can, then push the soap through.
7. Place one sheet of paper doily between two or three
bars piled one atop the other, then wrap all bars with ribbon and a bow on top.
If you know the color of the recipients bath ensemble
try to give the same color of gift soaps.
