Sweet Soap

Don't these look good enough to eat? And I do believe this is the ideal meal.....one hot dog and three pieces of cake! I embedded Iwako erasers between layers of clear melt and pour soap. These erasers are so realistic. Here's how I did it. I poured a 1/4 inch layer of clear soap in the bottom of the molds. After two minutes, I placed the erasers, face down, in the soap. After a few minutes more I sprayed a bit of rubbing alcohol on the soap and poured more clear soap over the erasers, covering them. When the soap had developed a film, I laid a sheet of water soluble printed paper on the soap. Let set till pretty firm. Spray with alcohol and then pour white soap over paper and fill mold. The soap is scented with raspberry. I know, weird with the hot dog but it goes great with the cake!
The paper was printed on the computer and is very muted. These will be great to give as gifts! Diana

  2. I agree, these would make great gifts! My daughter and her friends all love those little erasers and this would be fun to make for her to give them. They collect and trade the erasers and even though they are only in preschool they also love fancy soaps, as my daughter calls them. My mom got her a popsicle shaped one awhile ago and now she wants all her bar soap to be pretty. Thanks for linking to A Crafty Soiree!

  5. These are so cute. I have molds just like this & have done the "fish in a bag" soap, but never thought of putting in erasers! Where did you get the water soluble paper? I'd love to try this:)
