Things You'll Need:
- Clear glycerin soap
- Clear plastic bags 4 inches wide x 8 inches tall x 1.5 mm thick (minimum)
- Heat resistant measuring cup
- Double boiler or microwave
- Plastic fish of your choice
- Rubbing alcohol
- Small spray bottle
- Clothespins
- Ribbon or twine
- Gift tag for personalizing
-
Step 1
Gently melt your glycerin soap in your heat resistant measuring cup in a microwave, double boiler, or pot with some simmering water until completely melted. *If you want to add a fun scent or color to your handmade soap, now would be the time to add it.
-
Step 2
Carefully pour about 4 ounces of soap into the plastic bag and spray a couple of times with the rubbing alcohol. Let set for about an hour until the soap has solidified.
-
Step 3
Once the soap has set, place your plastic goldfish or tropical fish on top of the soap inside the bag. Pour more melted soap into the bag submerging the fish. (Don't overfill) Spray again with the rubbing alcohol. Carefully pull the bag together and secure with a clothespin and let set again for about an hour.
-
Step 4
Once the soap is completely set, remove the clothespin and tie with the ribbon, string, or yarn with the gift tag and your gift is done!
